Hamas chief disowns son for spying for Israel | ||

[Al Arabiya Latest] A jailed senior Hamas leader disowned his son on Monday after the young man admitted to having spied on the Islamist group for Israel and playing a major role in the arrest of senior militants. I'm even more pissed off about this than you guys, okay? So please don't kill me...
You're dead to us,
Last week, Israel's Haaretz daily reported that Mosab Hassan Yussef, 32, was a top informer for Israel's Shin Bet internal security agency and was known by the codename "The Green Prince." Gonna take more than just shooting him in the feet ... The article was based on extracts of a book, "Son of Hamas", co-written by Yussef, who converted to Christianity 10 years ago and now lives in California. The book is set to be published in the United States this week. Haaretz said Mosab was crucial in the arrests of Ibrahim Hamid, a Hamas military chief in the West Bank, and Abdullah Barghuti, the bomb maker behind an infamous 2001 suicide attack on a Sbarro restaurant in Jerusalem. Ummmmmmmm...sorry, guys. I'd throw some acid on him or sumthin, but he's in California. And I'm in Joooo jail. Yussef reportedly worked for the Shin Bet at the height of the 2000 Palestinian intifada, or uprising, when Hamas carried out dozens of deadly suicide bombings in Israel and Israel waged an all out war on the group. The elder Yussef -- a senior Hamas leader in the West Bank who was arrested in September 2005 and is still being held in an Israeli jail -- had earlier denied his son was ever an active member of the group. He just answered the phones and swept up the office. Maybe did a pizza run once in awhile... "From 1996, when he was 17 years old, (Mosab) faced blackmail and pressure from Israeli intelligence and, when he revealed his situation at that time, the sons of the movement were warned about him," he said in an earlier statement. Sounds like some of them didn't get your voicemail, pops... | ||

#2 According to author Joel C. Rosenberg, who is meeting Mosab at an international luncheon, there are more like him out there, particularly in Iran and Syria. His speech is entitled, "Israel, The Iran Threat, and Modern Day Lessons From The Book of Esther." And just as the Lord had strategically positioned two believers - Mordechai and Esther - close to the leader of Persia to do His will at "such a time as this," so, too, the Lord placed Mosab right next to the leader of Hamas to serve Christ at a critical moment. |

#1 It's Mossad, dad, not Mosab. |
