Decades before Yahya Sinwar became the political leader of Hamas in Gaza, Israeli journalist and author Ehud Yaari sat down with him over hummus in an Israeli prison in the Negev desert. He describes Sinwar, who conversed in fluent Hebrew, as a curious but cunning Islamist, bent upon the destruction of the state of Israel.
"He is not somebody who's thinking about negotiations, a two-state solution — that's not Sinwar," said Yaari, who interviewed Sinwar in prison four times between 1993 and 2001.
"He was very clear that the state of Israel should be destroyed, and the Jews cannot be a part of a Palestinian state.
"He was willing to make an exception of me — jokingly," said Yaari, who is now a fellow of the Washington Institute for Near East Policy.
A founding member of Hamas Described by Israeli officials as the architect of the Oct. 7 attacks that killed 1,200, Sinwar, 61, was a founding member of Hamas and its military wing, the Qassam Brigades.
Born in 1962 in the Khan Younis refugee camp at the southern end of the Gaza Strip, he joined Hamas when it was created in 1987 and was favoured by its founder, Sheikh Ahmed Yassin.
Yassin charged Sinwar with the creation of al-Majd, Hamas's internal security organization, which he used to hunt down and kill those suspected of collaborating with Israel.
Once, Yaari says, Sinwar punished a suspected informer by having the man's brother bury him alive, ordering the brother to finish the job with a spoon.
In another instance, Sinwar confessed to killing a man named Ramsi, whom he suspected of collaborating with Israelis. He told Israeli interrogators he strangled the man with a keffiyeh scarf, saying, "I wrapped him in a white shroud and closed the grave. I was sure that Ramsi knew he deserved to die."...
By the sounds of it... This dude likes killing Palestinian's more than he likes killing Jews... Sick b*stard!
I would suggest that all serious Muslim “soldiers” are psychopaths. They have no conscience about killing because their Quran not only approves of it but encourages it.
Better question: Why is he still alive?
Does he ride a camel in a race?
BUMP
Israel needs the Death Penalty for terror supporters.
They never get better.
Can’t wait till DJT gets back in the WH, he will treat these guys like he did Salami or Soleimani.
