Indeed, he is a hero, and should be commended.
But, in fairness, it is generally accepted that allied governments eject (most) outed spies from friendly countries. He was doing good work ... but he wasn’t working for us. He’s not our agent, so our laws would typically apply as normal.
I would not necessarily object to him being allowed to stay — though allowing foreign spies to take residence in the United States is tricky for national security — but I don’t really object to him being sent back to Israel either.
He should be given a ticker-tape parade in Israel, though.

Meanwhile, Zero wants to send $400 million more of our money to Hamas, the “terrorist organization”. He’s a Moslem, but he’s not a traitor — because to be one he’d have to have been born here. Thanks Kaslin.

“What should be done with a man who infiltrated the terrorist group Hamas, spied for Israeli intelligence and broke up terror attacks, saving countless Israeli, as well as Palestinian, lives? Most people would say he should be honored. Not the U.S. government, it’s trying to deport him.
Mosab Hassan Yousef was more than a spy. He is the son of a founding leader of Hamas, which made him among the highest prizes for Israeli intelligence. Yousef and his Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) handler, Gonen Ben Itzhak, were in Washington last week, meeting with whoever would listen to them. Yousef told me — and Itzhak confirmed — that he never killed anyone and, in fact, prevented many from being killed, while providing useful information that thwarted numerous terror attacks.
In San Diego tomorrow (Wednesday) before an immigration judge, the government will charge that because of Yousef’s “terrorist associations,” he should be deported. Yousef tells me, “I acted like a terrorist in order to fool terrorists,” but again emphasizes he never committed a terrorist act.
His is a remarkable story which he tells in a book “Son of Hamas: A Gripping Account of Terror, Betrayal, Political Intrigue, and Unthinkable Courage.” Yousef is a man without a country. He was admitted to the United States in 2007 for medical treatment. His passport has expired. The government is holding his travel documents. If he is deported, he will be a prime target for those who consider him an infidel and traitor. “
That’s it! He’s an Islamophobe! Out! Out! Out, demon, Out!
