Blade_Runner Loc: DARK SIDE OF THE MOON

Mosab Hassan Yousef is the eldest son of Sheikh Hassan Yousef, co-founder of the Palestinian terror organization, Hamas. When Mosab was growing up, he wanted to be a fighter because that was expected of Palestinian children in the West Bank. He was first arrested when he was ten, during the First Intifada, for throwing rocks at Israeli settlers. He was further arrested and jailed by Israel numerous times. As his father's eldest son, he was seen as his heir apparent, and became an important part of the Hamas organization.

Mosab's doubts about Islam and Hamas began forming when he realized Hamas' brutality, and that he h**ed how Hamas used the lives of suffering civilians and children to achieve its goals. Yousef was held by Shin Bet agents in 1996. While in prison, he was shocked by Shin Bet's interrogation methods, which he considered humane, when compared to how Hamas operatives tortured imprisoned suspected collaborators. He decided to accept a Shin Bet offer to become an informant.

Beginning with his release from prison in 1997, Yousef was considered the Shin Bet's most reliable source in the Hamas leadership, earning himself the nickname the "Green Prince" – using the color of the Islamist group's f**g, and "prince" because of his pedigree as the son of one of the movement's founders. The intelligence he supplied Israel led to the exposure of a number of Hamas cells, as well as the prevention of dozens of suicide bombings and assassination attempts on Jews. He has claimed that he did not inform for money, but rather that his motivations were ideological and religious, and that he only wanted to save lives. In order to thwart any suspicions of collaboration, the Shin Bet staged an arrest attempt, telling the Israel Defense Forces to launch an operation to arrest him, and then provided him intelligence allowing him to escape at the last minute, after which he went into hiding for the rest of his career.

Yousef says he supplied intelligence only on the condition that the "targets" would not be k**led, but arrested. This led to the detention of several key Palestinian leaders, including Ibrahim Hamid, a Hamas commander in the West Bank, and Marwan Barghouti. Also, Yousef claims to have thwarted a 2001 plot to assassinate Shimon Peres, then foreign minister and later President of Israel. According to his former Shin Bet officer, "Many people owe him their lives and don't even know it."

Between the years 1999 and 2000, Yousef gradually embraced Christianity. In 2005, he was secretly baptized in Tel Aviv by an unidentified Christian tourist. He left the West Bank for the United States in 2007, and lived some time in San Diego, California, where he joined the Barabbas Road Church.

Excellent post, right on the money, Blade.

Thank you.

You're welcome, Seth.

The obsession with impeaching president Trump has dominated this forum for months, if not years, so I thought we should be reminded of the fact that the progressive Trump h**ers are not the only enemy of our country. T***h is, the progressives have done more damage to our American way of life than Putin or rocket man could ever dream of in their lifetime.

Apart from their relentless attacks on president Trump, the progs are responsible for enabling, even emboldening, our foreign enemies - radical Islam being one of them. The most unforgivable progressive move is Obama's nuke deal with our mortal enemy, Iran. And, we now have radical Muslims sitting in our House of Representatives along with many enablers. I hope their awakening is not too painful.

Possibly more to come, if CAIR is successful in this goal:

Wh**ever the math, it would still be 15x the two we already have in the House, plus however many they get in the Senate.
