During a recent appearance on Dr. Phil Primetime, the son of Hamas co-founder Sheikh Hassan Yousef spoke out against those in the United States who support the Palestinian terrorist organization in its war against Israel calling them "useful idiots."

Mosab Hassan Yousef took particular aim at American college students who parrot Hamas talking points in the name of the "free Palestine" movement, calling them "useful idiots" and suggesting that they "need to go to a mental asylum."



"It's very disappointing to see Americans supporting Hamas and thinking that Hamas is a cool thing," he said an April 2 interview on the show alongside two pro-Palestinian college students from Michigan, per the New York Post, lamenting the fact that many Americans view Hamas militants as "freedom fighters." 

"Hamas does not respect any of those followers," he added, referring to those on the left who believe the Palestinian cause fits under the intersectional umbrella alongside Black Lives Matter and the LGBTQ movement, claiming that the terrorist group would "torture and massacre them with no mercy."

Yousef, who spent time in prison with Hamas leaders and defected to Israel to spy for Shin Bet, said those who take to the streets and fill college campuses to protest the Jewish state "don't know what they're supporting," describing Hamas as "a monster that has been hijacking an entire society and endangering the entire Middle East [by] pushing the world toward a global war."

The two keffiyeh-clad college students sitting next to Yousef denied that they were simply reciting Hamas talking points, but drew skepticism from him, Dr. Phil, and the audience when they refused to condemn the October 7 massacre.

"If you were a decent human being," Yousef said, "you can say that the thousands who were killed on October 7 was a crime against humanity. It was a genocide."

"There are some things that are just fundamental human decency," Dr. Phil added, "and when I ask you if what happened on October 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 I don't need a hundred years of conflict to know it was wrong."
