Son of Hamas Co-Founder Blasts Hamas as ‘Nazi Group,’ Tells Chris Cuomo ‘Israel Is Not Responsible’ For Gaza Civilian Deaths

On Thursday night, NewsNation’s Chris Cuomo spoke with Mosab Hassan Yousef, the son of one of the co-founders of the terrorist group Hamas. In a fiery conversation, Yousef compared the group to “Nazis” while removing any blame from Israel for the thousands of civilian casualties in Gaza.

Yousef was disowned by his father, Hassan Yousef, a co-founder of Hamas, and defected to Israel to become an informant for Shin Bet, their government intelligence agency. He has been outspoken in his support for Israel and condemnation of Hamas, even suggesting violent tactics to eradicate the terrorist group.

During his segment on Cuomo, Yousef’s frustration was apparent when he was asked about a pro-Palestine guest who had appeared earlier in the show, and his anger only grew:

Yousef: …[A]nti-Semitism and anti-Israel, anti-life is the what was in common between this type of people and the Nazis. Yeah, because the Nazis, about 100 years ago, it was a point of view. And soon later, they were gassing people in chambers. So today we have a very similar situation. We have a Nazi group. We saw what they did on October 7th. And they are hiding behind children and women. Israel say evacuate, evacuate civilians. Leaflets, phone calls, through media, give them an opportunity of 20 days to evacuate. But they didn’t! They still given shelter to Hamas. You know why? Because they are partnering with Hamas. And in this case, Israel is not responsible for any harm that happens to this. Civilians in northern Gaza stay, and now as we speak. Why did they have the opportunity to get the fuck out? Three weeks. Run for your life. Israel made it very clear. Why they are still in northern Gaza, giving Hamas shelter, giving Hamas protection?

Cuomo: Mosab, you know the situation.

Yousef: Before we blame Israel, let me tell you something. If these civilians choose to be with Hamas, then if they die with Hamas, it’s not Israel’s fault.
