Son of Hamas Leader, Now a Christian, Talks About Negotiating with Hamas

This guy should know something about Hamas. He was part of it until converting to Christianity and his father is a leader of the radical organization. Here's what he says about political negotiations between Hamas and Israel:

JONATHAN HUNT: Do you believe that Israel can ever strike a peace deal with Hamas?

MOSAB HASSAN YOUSEF: There is no chance. Is there any chance for fire to co-exist with the water? There is no chance. Hamas can play politics for 10 years, 15 years; but ask any one of Hamas’ leaders, ‘Okay, what’s going to happen after that? Are you just going to live and co-exist with Israel forever?’ The answer is going to be no … unless they want to do something against the Koran. But it’s their ideology and they can’t just say ‘We’re not going to do it.’ So there is no chance. It’s not about Israel, it’s not about Hamas: it’s about both ideologies. There is no chance.

The thing is, everybody knows that negotiations are a lost cause and yet they still go through the motions in the vain hope that something might change. That's the very definition of insanity.
