In a daring statement posted on his verified Twitter account, Mosab Hassan Yousef—the son of a famous Hamas leader who has been an outspoken critic of Palestinian leadership—called for Palestinians to stop using violence in the continuing war with Israel. The Palestinian tactic of trying to win over the world by making themselves look like victims is not going to bring about the downfall of Israel, according to Yousef’s tweet.
Israel would magically vanish if the ‘Palestinians’ could just win over the world with their victim story. Yousef shot against the idea that backing from other countries may improve things on the ground in a tweet. He went on to say that “Israel is going nowhere,” a statement that emphasizes the unwavering strength and determination of Israel despite the continuous disputes and animosity.
With violence escalating in both Gaza and the West Bank, Yousef’s warning arrives as tensions between various Palestinian factions and Israel are at an all-time high. His demand that Palestinians “drop their violence” is an affront to the strategies used by organisations like Islamic Jihad and Hamas, which persist in ruthless conflict with Israel.
Israel will continue to have the right to defend itself” (Yousef added), highlighting Israel’s rationale for military operations in reaction to attacks, as long as the ‘Palestinians’ and their supporters insist on violence to achieve their goals. The larger narrative that his speech supports is that Israel’s defence operations are a justifiable reaction to violence by Palestinian factions. Some have lauded Yousef’s position on reducing violence, while others have criticised his apparent affinity with Israeli policies, sparking arguments on social media….Sêe _ Morê
