Mosab Hassan Yousef — Son of Hamas Founder

Below are two recent interviews — which cover:

• Who he is

• Why he is speaking out today

• Israel

• Palestine

• Hamas

• Islam

• Immigration

• The romanticisation of “revolution”, being a “freedom-fighter”, Hamas/Palestine/Islam — for example, recently in downtown Vancouver, and generally on university campuses globally

27/04/2024: About 100 people showed up for the Students for Justice in Palestine teach-in on the steps of the University of Virginia Rotunda. Note the face masks. Part of the reason for the mask, say organisers, remains an attempt to make a point about exposure to COVID-19 and other health risks, which some in the left-wing protest movements believe remain dire. And part is the threat of a different kind of exposure — from being captured by facial recognition technology or becoming doxxed (their personal information being shared online) by counter-protesters.
