AIPAC, the pro-Israel lobby in the United States, hosted a speaker on Sunday that a decade ago most Jews would have been abhorred to meet: Mosab Hassan Yousef, son of Hamas founder Sheikh Hassan Yousef.
The younger Yousef was an informant for the Shin Bet security service from 1997 to 2007 before seeking asylum in the United States. On Tuesday, the conference attendees greeted him with enthusiastic applause.
"Sometimes I try to rationalize what a son of a Hamas leader is doing in a big Jewish event like this. And the only way to see it, I came up with a theory. I think maybe I was in a previous life a very bad Jew," Yousef said, sending the audience into laughter. "Then I was reincarnated in the house of a Hamas leader to work out my karmas."

But, this happens many years after Mosab Hassan Yousef worked for Shin Bet (undercover) and saved many Israeli lives in the process. I believe he worked undercover, while still inside Hamas, for 10 years! He came to the U.S. to get asylum and to live here, after his time undercover. If I'm not mistaken, he's a Christian now.
He still has feelings for his people and thinks that they've been "taken for a ride" by Islam and the Islamic Terrorists, so he doesn't always say what one would consider to be "politically correct" in support of Israel, but he's definitely in support of Israel's right to exist.
I'm just following up on some older and interesting news!
God bless this courageous man. God protect him from those who wish him harm. God bring to naught the plans of those who have evil designs against him!
Mosab Hassan Yousef is living proof that the search for truth can undo years of brainwashing. I truly wish that more people would critically evaluate what their leaders, teachers and, yes, even their own parents tell them and seek truth.
