'Nas Daily' controversy: Featured 'entrepreneur' unveiled as 'Israeli officer' killed in Gaza
It was revealed that a man featured by YouTuber Nuseir Yassin, also known as 'Nas Daily,' in one of his episodes as an entrepreneur was, in fact, an officer in the Israeli Occupation army who died in Gaza on Jan. 23, 2024. The episode attempted to highlight the individual's work in developing a camera to prevent drowning.
The Israeli Occupation's Foreign Ministry's official Twitter account paid tribute to Adam Bismot, saying he contributed to lifesaving technology and expressed condolences for his death. The tweet described Bismot as a hero in life and death.
Many pointed out the irony in such statements saying that, in reality, the officer died while being in Gaza where the army killed over 25,000 people, most of whom were women and children, injured over 65,000 people and left countless others underneath the rubble since October 7.
Adam Bismot spent his professional career saving lives, developing a camera which detects and helps prevent people from drowning.

- October 7 -
Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Hamas, launched Operation Aqsa Typhoon on October 7 in response to the Israeli Occupation's violations in the occupied Palestinian territories.
In return, the Israeli Occupation launched a military operation against the Gaza Strip called "Operation Iron Swords" and carried out a series of intense airstrikes on various areas in the strip.
This resulted in the loss of hundreds of lives and thousands of injuries, in addition to the destruction of numerous buildings, residential towers, institutions, and infrastructure.
- 'Nas Daily' calls himself 'Israeli first' -
Nuseir Yassin declared on October 9 that he now identifies as "Israeli first and Palestinian second." This revelation followed a series of personal thoughts shared on his Twitter account.
Yassin, who said he had struggled with his identity as a Palestinian born inside Israeli Occupation, explained that he previously considered himself a "Palestinian-Israeli" with Palestinian roots taking precedence. However, recent events led him to reassess his perspective.

For the longest time, I struggled with my identity.
A Palestinian kid born inside Israel. Like…wtf.
Many of my friends refuse to this day to say the word “Israel” and call themselves “Palestinian” only.
But since I…
