Mosab Hassan Yousef, a former Shin Bet informant known by the Israeli intelligence agency as "the Green Prince", has drawn widespread condemnation after delivering a hostile speech targeting American Muslims, the global Muslim community, the Holy Quran, and Prophet Muhammad during a Jewish-American summit held in Los Angeles.
A video widely shared on social media from the summit shows Yousef — son of a senior Hamas leader and a Christian convert — remarking: "I don't want Muslims in America. Get the f**k out of the United States. Go back to the "sh**house where you came from and reform your own countries."
Ironically, the crowd applauded the speaker's incendiary remarks in the summit organised by Aish Los Angeles, an Orthodox Jewish outreach group, and sponsored by the Anti-Defamation League, the Jewish National Fund, and other major pro-Israel and pro-Gaza genocide groups.
Yousef, who backs Israeli genocide in Gaza and occupation of Palestine, continued: "I don't give a f*** about your Quran, I don't give a f*** about your p********* prophet, and I don't give a f*** about your entire belief system. You disgust me."
Participants at the summit expressed their approval with laughter.
During the summit — the third of its kind, held on August 30 in Los Angeles — remarks delivered during a panel discussion have drawn significant reactions online, with clips circulating immediately afterwards.
High-profile speakers in the summit included Zionist Gad Saad, US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee, Israeli Ambassador to the US Yechiel Leiter, California gubernatorial Republican candidate Steve Hilton and others.
CAIR slams speakers, organisers
Meanwhile, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (or CAIR), America’s largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organisation, has condemned the anti-Muslim remarks made and applauded at the gathering.
"We strongly condemn the Anti-Defamation League and the other sponsors of the Jewish American Summit for inviting speakers who were known to be virulently anti-Muslim extremists, including Mosab Hassan Yousef and Gaad Saad. We also condemn the audience at the event for applauding Mr. Yousef’s call for American Muslims to leave their own nation," said CAIR.
CAIR demanded that the organisers apologise for platforming anti-Muslim hate and denounce Yousef and his incendiary remarks.
"Ambassador Mike Huckabee and others who participated in this event should do the same," it said.
CAIR added the kind of hate-filled rhetoric applauded at the Jewish American Summit "is the same sort of rhetoric that has fuelled a rise in anti-Muslim bigotry and violence, including the attack on the Islamic Center of San Diego."
"I'm trying to imagine the reaction from our media and politicians if a speaker at a 'Muslim American Summit' said, to loud applause, 'I don't want Jews in America'," asked Mehdi Hasan, a British-American journalist and CEO of new media company Zeteo.
"This is hate speech against over 1 billion Muslims," Elizabeth Tsurkov, a Russian and Israeli researcher, wrote on X in response to Saad's video promoting Yousef's brazen attack on Muslims.
"Could you imagine the uproar that would take place had someone else said the same thing about the Jewish people in the US? And people just clap," asked Turkish journalist Ragıp Soylu.
Born the eldest son of Sheikh Hassan Yousef in occupied West Bank, a co-founder of Hamas resistance group, Yousef worked for Israel's internal security agency Shin Bet from 1997 to 2007.
The renegade later converted to Christianity, before being transferred to US, where he often hawks anti-Muslim hate and Islamophobia.
There are approximately 4.5 million Muslims in the US, comprising a little more than 1 percent of the total US population, who often face anti-Muslim hate, discrimination, and islamophobic remarks.
Civil rights groups and organisations like the CAIR document hundreds of anti-Muslim bias incidents, assaults, and vandalism targeting mosques and community centres every year.
In its recent 122-page report, CAIR documented 8,683 discrimination complaints involving Muslims in the US during 2025, the highest number recorded since CAIR began tracking such incidents in 1996.
Researchers observe that biased media narratives and political rhetoric targeting Muslims foster an atmosphere of fear and suspicion.
