Israel is fighting an existential war on seven fronts but an eighth one always seems to be discounted from the reckoning. 

It’s the battle of narratives, played through media, both legacy and social.

Somewhere since October 7th 2023, the truth has been trampled down a long deep rabbit hole. 

What you’re about to listen to is totally irreconcilable with the shorthand, throwaway phrases you get from mainstream bulletins. 

Mosab Hassan Yousef, born in 1978 is a child of the Israel Gaza conflict. 

He’s "The Green Prince," son of Sheikh Hassan Yousef, co-founder of Hamas. 

Raised in a family deeply entangled with Hamas, Mosab seemed destined for a life of terrorism.

But he defected to Israel in 1997 and worked as a spy for Shin Bet, Israel's internal security service for a decade until he moved to the United States. 

He helped them prevent numerous suicide bombings and other terror attacks leading to the capture of several Hamas operatives. 

His autobiography, "Son of Hamas," details his life, his disillusionment with Hamas and his espionage. He converted to Christianity too, distancing himself from his roots still further - adding a layer to his own transformation.

Not enough delegates turned up to the European Parliament in Brussels to listen to him and he declares his disappointment at the start of this speech - so let's gets his stark message out still further.
