Everything You’ve Been Told About Palestinians Is a Lie | Mosab Hassan Yousef

What if everything you’ve been told about Palestinians is wrong? In this explosive and deeply unsettling conversation, Mosab Hassan Yousef — the son of a Hamas founder turned outspoken critic of Islamist ideology — dismantles the dominant narratives surrounding Palestine, Gaza, and the Israel–Palestinian conflict. Mosab argues that this war was never about land, borders, or occupation — and that October 7 was not a reaction to policy, but the result of decades of indoctrination, ideological warfare, and a culture that glorifies endless “resistance” over life itself. Speaking with Dinesh D'Souza, Mosab explains why “Palestinianism” functions less as a national identity and more as a political weapon, why Gaza remains dangerous even without Hamas, and why Western leaders fundamentally misunderstand the nature of this conflict. This is not a comfortable discussion. It challenges assumptions held by the media, universities, NGOs, and political elites — and asks a question most are afraid to confront: What happens when an entire society is built around grievance, victimhood, and the destruction of its neighbor? Mosab also addresses: Why October 7 shattered Israel at a moral level
