Son of Hamas Co-Founder Denounces Group at UN, Exposes 'Savage' Indoctrination of Palestinian Kids

Hi everyone good afternoon, uh ambassador, thank you for having me and giving me this important uh podium in such a difficult situation. I see lots of division and confusion, lots of hatred, lots of misinformation, and uh. Everybody speaks on behalf of the children and behalf of the innocent, but I am not sure about their real intentions, but today I can speak on the authority of a Palestinian child. Someone who grew up in that culture, Hamas's first crime against children in Palestinian societies, is not arming them or encouraging them to carry out suicide bombing attacks. It's the religious ideological indoctrination that I had to go through with one intention in mind to annihilate the state of Israel.

This is Hamas's primary goal. In this truth, there is no confusion. I speak as a firsthand witness to Hamas and their intentions. My father is one of the founders of the Hamas movement. I was there when Hamas was born; I was there before Hamas was born; and, as I said before, I will be there after Hamas is dead.

I am not part of the propaganda. I don't work for anyone. I. I only represent myself, and on this authority, I speak, so don't be mistaken and take my words very carefully. Hamas is committing a crime against this generation and the next generations to come. So blaming Israel is not going to solve the problem. Imagine a 10-year-old child when I disobeyed; Hamas, I was tied up to a post, and I was whipped by Hamas, the top leader, and I. I don't want to mention his name because he's not worthy of the electric cable. With every lash, I lost my breath until I lost consciousness. My father was in prison at that time, and this leader thought that he was my mentor. This is Hamas discipline. This is how they wanted me to be—to become a violent savage like them—and the very basic intelligence of a child. When I felt that that was not natural, it wasn't, but I still had to go to the mosque. To please my mother and please my father and obey, this type of monster, I hate, to talk about my person, to struggle, and to be in a position to be on defense. He also doesn't like to be in defense, because this is what Hamas did to Israel on October 7th—they put all of us on defense, but this doesn't mean that we are not going to win the war. Growing up in that society, the majority of the Palestinians blamed Israel, and as a child, I took it as a Quran, as a holy scripture.

That Israel was our problem, but then, as I grew up, I started identifying the enemy within the religious authorities, the corrupt leadership, who basically did not care about children. They did not care about Palestinians. They still don't care about anybody but themselves, and the world has been empowering them against the victims. This has to come to an end. Let's put my childhood on the side because maybe a child does not see things for what they are. Maybe I was very bad; I misbehaved myself as a child and deserved to be beaten up again and again and again by Hamas leaders, as some people say. Is it a personal problem? Well, it is a personal problem. Do we have any problem with me having Hamas problems as a personal problem? It is a personal problem, and I swear. I will not die before I See, Hamas is dead. Can I make this a goal in my life?

You know, unlike many of the leaders who sit here and give Hamas legitimacy by not condemning them. If the entire world stands there and says otherwise, the child witness within will always be there, and nobody can deceive that child anymore.

Then, as I grew up, I became the Hamas, or the Islamic student movement president, in our town, and I became part of the movement. It's just out of love for my father and our family that I had no other choice, which somehow led me to imprisonment at the age of 18. Just a few weeks after my 18th birthday, May 28th, 1996, my problem was not Israel, who arrested me during that experience; it was Hamas again, but this time with a lot more brutality and a lot more pain than the pain I experienced on a personal level in prison. Hamas tortured and killed hundreds of Palestinian prisoners, and Hamas members because Hamas had suspicion that they were collaborating with the state of Israel. I spent 16 months in that first arrest among Hamas leaders, what was called the al-maj Hamas security wing. For those who don't know this division of Hamas, this security wing brutally tortured people, putting needles under their fingernails, burning plastic on their bodies, and putting cigarettes in their skin. The screams of hundreds of prisoners over that period of time How could they forget, I don't wish for any of you to go through such experiences to realize what type of monster we are dealing with? It's unfortunate that my father helped establish such an organization, and I don't mean to dishonor him. I love my father, and I will always do so. I'm not here to dishonor my people; I love my people, but I cannot believe how far Hamas was able to travel in this madness, and we could not stop them after I was released from prison.

I made very hard choices, and I didn't have the time to go through all my motives, but yes, I had many motives. I have many motives to fight against Hamas, and I still do, nobody can get in my way, not even the United Nations, so the choices I made were against any rational thinking. I ended up working together with the Israeli intelligence.

For 10 years, we had a common goal. That goal was to stop suicide bombing attacks for those who don't know or those who have a short memory. There were many suicide bombing attacks during the 1990s and early 2000s, including dozens of suicide bombing attacks where a suicide bomber took an explosive device, went inside a bus, and blew himself up, killing all types of people. Not only Americans were killed, but Europeans were killed. Other nationalities, including Israeli Arabs and Muslim Hamas, did not differentiate. Take a hotel park, for example, on a holiday on the most sacred Jewish holiday. A suicide bomber goes into the dinner, blows himself up, and kills more than 30 people. Some Holocaust survivors died in that attack. Dolphinarium, some teenagers were having fun at the beach when the suicide bomber killed about 18 and wounded dozens. Look up and see how many buses it did not stop. There, Hamas attacked the Hebrew University; six Americans were killed in that attack.

They targeted synagogues, they targeted everywhere, knowing the Israeli retaliation, they invite violence, they love violence, and without chaos, they cannot survive; it's their climate. This is where they thrive. When the peace process came, If you follow the history of Hamas and their development or their evolution, whatever you want to call it, Hamas sabotaged the peace process through suicide bombing attacks, and they don't have a vision, that's the problem, because nobody can satisfy their ambition when they are waging a holy war. We're not talking about Iran; we're not talking about other political terrorist organizations that we can pressure to bend them and bring them to the negotiating table. We are talking about a religious group that does not believe in political borders and wants to annihilate an entire race. In order to build an Islamic state, I don't know what else can be said about this group and me. I don't know why it's not obvious to everybody that the United Nations fails to condemn them as rapists. This is why they are lower than animal consciousness.

So as I don't speak only on the authority of that child and someone who grew up in the Palestinian territory, I also speak on the authority of someone who has 10 years of experience in counterterrorism with Israeli intelligence.

It took us eight years to capture someone named, Ibrahim Hammed, this mass murderer. He hid in a small town called Ramala, with less than 20,000 people. It took us 8 years to capture him while he was sending suicide bombers every other day. It was a big nightmare to capture him, and you know now what they are doing and why, in the hostage situation that we have in Gaza, they want him; he's on the top of the list to be released. Ibrahim Hammed; remember his name. Look him up. They want mass murderers to go back to the street, and if you ask yourself the guy that you saw earlier, a singer with the child and the rifle, this guy was released just recently as part of the prisoner exchange with Israel, when Israel had to release more than one thousand Hamas members to return one Israeli soldier back to his mother, and Hamas had a taste for that. So they thought this time they could go and bring 200 hostages and more, so they could bring the only true democracy in the Middle East to its knees.

This is why it's a very brutal war for those who are in the intelligence communities. They understand the significance of this, and they know that. Israel cannot release more Hamas terrorists because this guy you saw is the mastermind behind the attacks on October 7th, and how can Israel afford or how can any of you value or prove the release of mass murderers back to the street? So they can carry out a lot more terrorist attacks and hijack an entire society. Hundreds of thousands of people as human shields—this is our way of solving the problem. We need the correct vision. First of all, we need to identify the origins of suffering and where it's coming from. Where does it originate from? We need to identify the disease, and then we can provide the cure up to this point. We haven't identified the disease, and those who know the problem, they don't have the courage to stand and say we have a problem with Hamas. But most of us have our own calculations from Russia to China to the rest of the superpowers given Hamas cover. Hamas gave the attacks on October 7th as a birthday gift to Putin. For those who did not make the connection, and I don't want to go further, now nobody's talking about Ukraine using Hamas as the wild card in the Middle East, igniting a religion just to divert your attention somewhere else. All those criminals, whether they were high-profile or low-profile, are all savages; they are all enemies of children and enemies of humanity. 

They were seeking power and wealth. They did not care about the Palestinian people, as the children of Gaza sank into disarray and poverty. Leaders of Hamas, along with their families and their language, enjoy the four-season hotel in Doha, Qatar. We can continue putting our heads in the sand, but then we have escaped our responsibility.

I can't go on and on for hours, or, should I say, for 45 years of my life, but I don't have the time. I don't have the time if we don't eradicate Hamas from this war, and this time, if we don't eradicate them, the next Gaza war is going to be deadlier. It's going to be much greater. If today we are complaining about 10,000 casualties, even though I'm not sure about the numbers, because it's Hamas statistics, I don't trust anything they say or anything they do, but even if it were true, it's actually a miracle that we have only this number for the next war. We will be talking about hundreds of thousands. This is the fourth war with Hamas and the fifth war in Gaza because also Islamic jihad had its own war. If we don't eradicate Hamas and other terrorist groups in Gaza this time and give Gaza back to the people of Gaza, we will give them legitimacy. We will show them that we are afraid, and tomorrow they will come back with vengeance.

What made Hamas attack this time? It was a lot stronger than the past wars because, under international pressure, we had to negotiate with them and give them legitimacy, which encouraged them and gave them power. You know Qatar; for example, it's a member of the United Nations playing the mediator, etc. They could have fooled me. They are the ones hosting Hamas. They are the ones who have been funded. Hamas Russia, Musa, and Abu Marzuk, a Hamas top leader, were in Moscow just yesterday. A week ago, what's this? Where should democracies be united in fighting such savages? All of us, so Hamas, you call this a hostage situation, but you want the true term Hamas uses for this booty. It's not even hostages. It's not war prisoners. All of us, so Hamas savage, grab a teenage girl by the neck, pushing her into the unknown. That's your very freedom; that girl represents your freedom, and none of us thought about the mother of that kid and how she felt about seeing her daughter being dragged away by a savage who wants to dominate and who sees women as property. This is how Hamas sees women as property, something they can own, as they want to own more territory, their lust, their sexual lust, their lust for power, their lust for territory. I had to die many times in order to transcend this mentality, so we are talking about a big problem.

It's beyond Israel, and here is the danger, with this, I will conclude the danger if Israel fails their war in Gaza, which is a brutal war because if it were open war, Israel would annihilate Hamas in no time matter of hours. Let's say days: Hamas is finished, but since Hamas has a strategy, it's a strategic thing for Hamas to take human shields.

This is this. Crime cannot be forgiven. None of us should forgive this crime of gambling with children's blood for political gain. It doesn't get worse than this, so Israel. Now got stained by blood: this is what Hamas wanted to happen from day one; they wanted to sacrifice thousands of children, so Israel could take the blame for digging tunnels and bunkers under hospitals, schools, lunches, and missiles, a Hamas misfire, how many people were killed at a hospital, and they went so fast to blame Israel and the rest of the world. Listen to them and listen to their propaganda; nobody's concerned about checking what is true and what is false. Whatever serves our political and short-term interests? We go for it suicidally, not knowing that we are going against evolution. We are going against the collective consciousness of humanity; we're going against the interests of children, the defenseless children, who have no one to speak on their behalf. They don't have the power to discern, and yes, they are dying, but who's causing all this death blame? The cheap way is the way of the coward. Those who have the courage to take responsibility—they don't blame Hamas—are not defeated.

If Hamas is not eradicated in Gaza, we will set the model. We will give freedom to so many radical groups around the world, especially in Europe because many of them have fled to Europe under civilian cover. There are sleeping cells in Europe, there is a migrant problem in Europe, and there is an Islamic problem in Europe. This is just a warning if you really care about global security, and I speak as a person who was part of the counter-terrorism efforts against radical Islamists. If Hamas is not defeated in Gaza, it will inspire many groups around the globe.

They will see that a few thousand savages can blackmail the international community's superpowers and bring democracies to their knees. Many of them are watching now, and many of them are very happy about how the world is responding, and many of them are satisfied to see the state of confusion, fear, and anxiety. This is the time to get united because if Israel fails in Gaza, all of us will be next. Thank you for listening, and thank you for giving me the opportunity. May God bless all of us and protect our children, not only the Palestinian children but also the Israeli children. Bring the hostages back to their families, and may God bring peace to this divided world.
