Hamas defector tells pro-Palestinian activists they belong in 'a mental asylum' in brutal debate
'Pro-Palestine people need to go to a mental asylum,' says Hamas defector Mosab Hassan Yousef

Pro-Palestinian activists were left seemingly dumbfounded after Dr. Phil brought a former Hamas member on his show to dismantle their arguments.

One student tried to accuse the former Hamas member, who originally hails from Ramallah, of peddling "colonial rhetoric."

"Dr. Phil Primetime" invited Palestinian activists — Salma and Zaynab from the University of Michigan — to debate the issues with Mosab Hassan Yousef, a Palestinian ex-militant who defected to Israel in 1997. Yousef, the son of Hamas co-founder Sheikh Hassan Yousef, worked as an undercover agent for the Jewish state's Shin Bet intelligence wing.

"It's very disappointing to see Americans supporting Hamas and thinking that Hamas is a cool thing, while Hamas does not respect any of those followers, while those followers don't know that Hamas would torture them and massacre them with no mercy. They call them useful idiots. They don't know that Hamas is a dark black hole," Yousef said on an April 2 episode of "Dr. Phil Primetime."

"[Pro-Palestinians are] absolutely idiots because they don't know what they are supporting. They are supporting a monster that has been hijacking an entire society and endangering the entire Middle East, pushing the world towards a global war. … What's happening is insanity. Those pro-Palestine people need to go to a mental asylum."



Yousef, also known as "The Green Prince" from his work with Israeli intelligence, said he based his knowledge in the time he spent with Hamas leaders and members from different districts in prison.

"I was born there, and part of that culture, part of that religion. … That's why I described it as a black hole. Some people hear about Hamas, or they see an avatar of a Hamas fighter carrying a rifle, a freedom fighter, and they think it's a fancy idea to support such a monster," he said.

Yousef said the activists were wearing the keffiyeh, a black and white neckerchief, to distract from the fact that they had no legitimacy to speak on behalf of the cause.


"You don't know what Palestine is, actually. In fact, the keffiyeh that you are wearing is just a statement to show that you really lack the authenticity to represent the case," he said.

Yousef continued, "On what authority do you speak? You only speak on the authority of Hamas propaganda."

Zaynab interjected, asking why he believed she was speaking Hamas talking points.



He said, "Because if you were a decent human being, you can say that the thousands who were killed on Oct. 7, that was a crime against humanity. It was a genocide."

Yousef also accused the pro-Palestinian activists of being complicit in Hamas' crimes because they are part of a movement in the West providing ideological cover for the terror group and advancing its talking points.

"We have the problem with the pro-Palestine [people], who are actually giving Hamas cover. They are participants in the crime," he said. "The cause must die. I think enough is enough, and now it's proven, and you are helping Hamas to prove it to the world — that Palestine depends on the destruction of the state of Israel. And this is not acceptable, and we are not going to agree to it, and I tell you something: For the next 10 or 20 years, the Palestinian people will pay the bill that Hamas has caused today and most likely in blood."



Dr. Phil asked Salma and Zaynab to condemn the Oct. 7 terror attacks and noted how they dodged the question.

"There are some things that are just fundamental human decency, and when I ask you if what happened on Oct. 7 is something you condemn, and you say, ‘Well, you have to look at that by looking at hundreds of years of conflict.’ No, you don't. That's either right or it's wrong, and it was wrong, and I don't need a hundred years of conflict to know it was wrong," Dr. Phil said.

The Hamas defector said he no longer sees a difference between Palestinians and Hamas.

"In fact, since Oct. 7, I personally don't differentiate between Hamas and the so-called Palestinians because, actually, there is no Palestinians, there are tribes. There is a tribe of Hamas, and there is the tribe of the Islamic Jihad … and each one has different interests, and all of them are conflicted," he said. "If they did not have Israel as the common enemy, they would kill each other. This is the reality."

ccusing the former Hamas member of peddling "common colonial rhetoric," asked, "You think Hamas and Palestinian are the same?"

"After Oct. 7? Yes. There is no difference. The vast majority of the Palestinian people support Hamas. This is a fact. This is proven by statistics, and your silence now — you are not even — you cannot even condemn Hamas and say that what they did on Oct. 7 was an act of a savage group," he said.

A poll on Palestinians in the Gaza Strip and in the West Bank in December indicated support for Hamas skyrocketed after the Oct. 7 attacks, according to a December report in the Associated Press.

According to the Shikaki poll, 44% of Palestinians in the West Bank said they supported Hamas, up from 12% in September. In Gaza, the terrorist group had 42% support, up from 38% three months prior.

According to a December poll by the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research, 57% of respondents in Gaza and 82% in the West Bank believe Hamas was correct in launching the October attack. Only 10% said they believed Hamas committed war crimes.

While not reaching the level of a concerned parent, er, uh, I mean a domestic terrorist, going to school board meeting, the US government is saying the potential is there at places of assembly early this week and possibly related to the eclipse event. 

I've seen several X posters make this claim and this is the only one I think legitimately shares information. 

BREAKING: U.S. intelligence officials are warning of violence targeting mass gatherings days before millions gather to watch the eclipse.

The FBI and Homeland Security are increasingly worried about threats from ISIS and “lone wolves” in the U.S.

This is not the Glory of San Francisco, this is the Glory of the Biden Economy. 

A couple of days ago it was announced that all 300+ 99cent Stores are closing. And Dollar Tree is closing all of it's 1000+ Family Dollar stores citing theft and inflation. 

An excellent example of the Joe "I did that" Biden economy. 

STORE CLOSINGS

All 99 Cents Only — 300+ stores across the nation — are closing for good.

Dollar Tree is closing nearly 1,000 Family Dollar stores, citing theft & inflation.

Economists say this trend of bargain store closures is troubling.

This is Joe Biden’s economy.

It's gone up a buck/gal. since I migrated south for the winter.  You think it will magically go down a buck or more just before the election?

I watch this way more than I should??? It’s like comfort food for me

I keep wondering.   When will you be unable to GIVE these cars away?

Now, as a conservative and Christian, I want to conserve our environment responsibly for future generations. But, as we are instructed in the Bible, we have dominion over the Earth, it's plants and animals, so we should be good stewards of the gifts that the good Lord above bestowed. All that said, there are a lot of craziness by the greeniacs in trying to guilt us (Godlessly, I might add) into doing things that just do not make sense. 

I present Exhibit A: your jeans are ruining the environment. 

I’m gonna restart the JNCOS movement even harder now. ? pic.twitter.com/5cQiVYH7wC

Crazy.

Has anyone heard of QC Kinetics.  They are one of several companies growing in popularity that use stem cells to regenerate whatever in your body that has been ailing.  It is an option to surgery, help with pain reduction.

Each company does things there own way but I am almost through the process.  I have a bum hip and surgery was suggested but quite frankly after hearing of too many deaths from blood clots and the fact I am a chicken, I opted for this route.

QC Kinetics route was first drawing my blood and injecting the platelets into the hip socket area. Giant ass needle.
A month later they drew blood and injected it to the hip area with the protein of the blood.  This step is to stop further degeneration.
The next month was step 3 the stem cell tx.  They took what I called a harpoon and went into my pelvis through the bone to get the stem cells.  That was different.  They then injected that into the hip socket.
The next step was a repeat of step 1 and in 3 months I will repeat step 2.

I will say it did lower my pain (not eliminate) and I did not miss 1 hour of work.  The procedures were done in the office and I drove myself home.   I am learning to try to walk regularly again and my hip is getting more flexibility but still gets fatigued.  They said by summer I should be able to be pain free and have flexibility back.  WHen I told the I like to walk about 4 miles per day pain free they said this procedure should get me there.

The bad thing is it is not covered by health insurance (well mine anyhow) because it is called experimental so it cost me almost 9k out of pocket.

Anyone here of this type of stuff and what are your thoughts?  I am still in the wait and see mode as I am still in the middle of the process.
