  • On 3 November 1997, ITN's Julian Manyon interviewed Sheikh Ahmed Yassin, the founder and spiritual leader of Palestinian Islamic resistance organisation Harakat al-Muqawama al-Islamiya, or HAMAS. Ten years after establishing Hamas and just weeks after being released from an Israeli prison, Sheikh Ahmed Yassin spoke to Julian Manyon about Hamas' use of suicide attacks, in particular bombings, and the movement's methods of enlisting young Palestinian men to carry them out. Yassin told Manyon that none of those who took part in such operations were forced to do so, insisting they were motivated by their faith and commitment to the cause of Palestinian resistance. Manyon also spoke to Hamas' political director, Khaled Mashal, who defended the use of suicide bombing on a tactical level and affirmed that the organisation's ultimate aim remained the destruction of the Israeli state. Manyon, meanwhile, picked up on the ways in which Hamas' actions were discrediting Yasser Arafat and the secular Palestinian leadership in their negotiations with Israel, while providing political ammunition to Israel's right-wing prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu.

    No matter the cause, no matter who is right/wrong (if there is anyone in the right), the greatest crime against humanity is teaching children to become killers!

      Far worse is to have children who you know will have lives marked by fear, violence, brutality, and deprivation.

    Not mentioned in the report, but implied is the support Netanyahu gave to Hamas.

      Netanyahu never actually did that. All he did was allow Qatar to send money to Gaza for humanitarian purposes in an attempt to restrain Hamas with bribes in exchange for regional stability.

      At the beginning most suicide and terror attacks were from the Palestinians under the PLO authority (a secular organisation) The PLO supported and promoted terrorism. Hamas at the beginning was more moderate it looked like a religious moderate alternative so Israel supported it just at the beginning. Israel didn't know back then that the religious Islamic world would change into extremist terrorist groups a few years later.

      In Israel, you have to join the army at 18 or be put in prison. Clearly, there is indoctrination going on on both sides.
