"Yousef rejected such claims, noting that Israel left the Gaza Strip
almost 20 years ago and that Hamas governed in that time "with an iron
fist" while multiple governments worked to weaken it.
"Gaza was under the blockade, not only by Israel but also by Egypt and
other international forces because Hamas did not agree to drop their
guns and recognize Israel’s right to exist," Yousef explained. "That was
the only reason for the blockade. It was a security blockade. It had
nothing to do with the race or with nationalism."

Former Hamas member shares insight on the terrorist groupScroll back up
to restore default view.
The son of a Hamas co-founder expressed shock and dismay at college
protesters he sees as "misguided" and "misinformed" about the issues.

"They found an angry cause, and this is very dangerous to advocate on
behalf of something they don’t understand," Mosab Hassan Yousef, known
as "the Green Prince," told Fox News Digital in an interview. "They are
not helping the situation. They are just making it worse."

Yousef, who was in Manhattan to address The Jerusalem Post New York
Conference, is the eldest son of Hamas co-founder Sheikh Hassan Yousef.
The son defected to Israel in 1997 and worked as an undercover agent for
a decade before moving to the United States. He previously told Fox News
host Sean Hannity Hamas would "not hesitate" to kill him if they found him.

He has called the terrorist group a religious movement "waging a holy
war" under the guise of a political party. He has not shied away from criticizing the group in the aftermath of the Oct. 7 attack after seeing
how some in the U.S. have responded with protests on college campuses
and pressure in Congress to end the action in Gaza before Hamas has been eliminated.

"Bending to terrorists will have consequences," Yousef said. "We are
sending the wrong messages. These people don't receive our statements or
our action as a form of tolerance that we are trying to reach peace.They perceive it as weakness.

"The more we continue sending the wrong messages, the more we complicate
the situation," he added. "We have to stand firmly regardless. … Hamas
is a designated terrorist group in the United States, according to the
American law, so it's a ridiculous thing of any lawmaker not to be able
to distinguish this group.

"It’s very dangerous what they are doing," he insisted. "This is not a political issue. It’s a fundamental issue."

After Oct. 7, some argued the group’s vicious attack amounted to a "justified" defense after the treatment of the Palestinian people. Some
labeled the Gaza Strip the world’s "biggest open-air prison," and others
said the Palestinians — through Hamas — had no choice but to act.

Yousef rejected such claims, noting that Israel left the Gaza Strip
almost 20 years ago and that Hamas governed in that time "with an iron
fist" while multiple governments worked to weaken it.

"Gaza was under the blockade, not only by Israel but also by Egypt and
other international forces because Hamas did not agree to drop their

the only reason for the blockade. It was a security blockade. It had

during a rally for the movement in the West Bank city of Ramallah "Everything’s wrong with this group," Yousef said. "There is nothing
good or righteous about Hamas. They adopted killing, destruction,
violence as the only method towards achieving their political and
religious agendas.

"So what’s good about Hamas? Killing people indiscriminately? Killing Palestinians? Killing Arabs and Jews and Americans?" he asked. "They
have blood on their hands. They have been using violence since the
beginning of their movement as the only strategy, and they just crowned
their violence with a genocide. So, what isn’t obvious about Hamas?"

The passenger who accosted Adams accused him of leaving the state while anti-Israel agitators were being arrested by police at Columbia
University in recent days.
Yousef spoke alongside Dan Diker, president of the Jerusalem Center for
Public Affairs, who told Fox News Digital protesters have "weaponized"
the First Amendment to "call for the genocide or mass murder of a
community within the United States, which is, in this case, the Jewish community."

"It is really incumbent upon lawmakers and government officials,
beginning with the president of the United States, President Biden, to establish and enforce not only Title VI of the 1964 Civil Rights Act,
but to really place … the good men and women of higher education in this country, the greatest system of higher education in the world … to hold
them to account for codes of conduct," Diker said.

"If not, the Jewish students and other friends of the Jewish and
democratic state are and will be placed in great physical danger on our campuses, and this is not something certainly that I’m sure the
president would want."
