Congratulations to Brooke Silverstein, granddaughter of STEVE and LINDA EPSTEIN who was accepted early decision to Duke University.

We would love to hear from other grandparents or parents as to which college their children will be attending next year. This will also help with the College Connection held every Christmas right here at Frenchman’s.

THE FIRST LECTURE IN MARTY KRALL’S LECTURE SERIES

FRENCHMAN’S CREEK LIFE is about sharing news with our fellow and sister members to keep abreast what is happening in our community. Also to review the past month’s activities held here at the Creek. Please do not confuse us with Spotlight Magazine which is NO PART of the Frenchman’s Creek Community. The first LECTURE IN Marty Krall’s lecture series was held, Tuesday, December 11th. The speaker was Mosab Hassan Yousef, the son of one of the seven founding leaders of Hamas, the terrorist group that controls Gaza and is sworn to destroy Israel and all the Jewish residents. After many stints in Israeli prisons, he began to work for Israel against Hamas. After listening to Mosab’s riveting story, you have to wonder what force made him listen to the Israelis and question all he was brought up to believe and hate! Was it divine inspiration? Over 375 people were in attendance and spellbound. Mosab is sponsored now by Magen David Adom, the Jewish Red Cross of Israel supplying ALL THE BLOOD to Israel where needed, and was interviewed by David Horovitz. Mossab grew up in Ramallah, was taught to hate the Israelis– an evolution of the leaders of Hamas of an idealogy of hatred bending to personal religious ideals. and was part of small groups who tar- get schools and ambulances with bombs created by items in an ordinary kitchen. He worked for the Intifa- da for two years, was his father’s confidant and right hand man; Israel was the enemy and revenge the keyword. Around age 20, Mosab agreed to work for Israel as a double agent, where in prison, he learned of the violence, propaganda of the Palestinians and saw how brutal the Palestinians were to each other. It was violence against their own people—hatred with no limit. He saw noble causes masked what reality was. He helped prevent many terrorist attacks against Israel and Israel made sure that he was safe at all times even if in a house with his father. Hamas is an ideological religious organization that wants an Islamic State worldwide. They can only be managed by containing their power. Hamas rules the Arabs of Gaza and The Palestinian Authority rules the West Bank Arabs. When asked about his father, Mosab said he had been rightfully disowned by him. Today, he is living in the United States , has found a spiritualness in Jesus and has written a book, entitled “Son of Hamas.” He has his sights on Hollywood….his story is far from finished!!!
