Summary

Dr. Jordan B. Peterson sits down in person with Mosab Hassan Yousef. They discuss the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, the chaos created by Yasser Arafat, how Palestine has globalized their radical cause, Mosabs time as a prisoner, what set him free, and the far-from-paved road going forward. Mosab Hassan Yousef (born in 1978) is a Palestinian ex-militant who defected to Israel in 1997 where he worked as an undercover agent for the Shin Bet until he moved to the United States in 2007. Yousef was considered the Shin Bet's most reliable source in the Hamas leadership, earning himself the nickname "The Green Prince.” The intelligence he supplied to Israel led to the exposure of many Hamas cells, as well as the prevention of dozens of suicide bombings and assassination attempts on Jews. Yousef's father is Sheikh Hassan Yousef, a co-founder of Hamas. - Links - 2024 tour details can be found here https://jordanbpeterson.com/events Peterson Academy https://petersonacademy.com/ For Mosab Hassan Yousef: On X https://twitter.com/MosabHasanYOSEF?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor “Son of Hamas: A Gripping Account of Terror, Betrayal, Political Intrigue, and Unthinkable Choices” (book) https://www.amazon.com/Son-of-Hamas-Mosab-Hassan-Yousef-audiobook/dp/B006PJC4H2/?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_w=PheAV&content-id=amzn1.sym.cf86ec3a-68a6-43e9-8115-04171136930a&pf_rd_p=cf86ec3a-68a6-43e9-8115-04171136930a&pf_rd_r=138-3764402-1287437&pd_rd_wg=fLHUm&pd_rd_r=8445617a-f7bd-45ef-bcff-98e77e6b26f5&ref_=aufs_ap_sc_dsk

0:00.0	The Hello everybody. I had the opportunity today to talk to Mr. Mossab Hassan Youssef, who's a very complicated person.
0:28.4	He spent a lot of his life north of Jerusalem. His father is Sheik, Hassan Youssef, who's a co-founder of Hamas.
0:41.6	He told me that he loved his father but came to believe that his orientation in the world was deeply misguided.
0:49.0	He said the same thing about his culture in general.
0:54.0	I had a very brutal childhood. He grew up during the sequence of antipadas,
1:01.0	became conversant with bloodshed and the death of children at a very early age in his life,
1:08.8	and that isn't the worst of it by a large margin.
1:14.3	He started to work for the Israeli intelligence
1:19.6	in 1997.
1:21.6	He was born in reliable source for them in

1:37.0	We talk quite broadly about the situation in the Middle East, about the culture that he was raised in,

1:58.4	constituted Palestine and the general situation in the Middle East.
2:04.0	It's a very intense interview to say the least.
2:07.0	I suppose part of what I walked away from it concluding
2:11.0	was that, you know, pools rush in where angels fear to tread and everybody has an
2:16.7	opinion about Israel and Gaza and most of us don't have the wisdom or the experience to do anything but remain silent in the face of
2:30.0	what's happening there. You can watch, listen to
2:34.7	wasab Youssef and draw your own conclusions about the
2:40.4	catastrophe unfolding in the Middle East.
