Walid Shoebat, author of Why We Want to Kill You has
built a lucrative speaking career by manipulating the fears
and whipping up hatred between Jews and Muslims and
he claims to be a former Islamic terrorist who has
converted to Christianity.
On Tovia Singer’s radio broadcast, Shoebat claimed,
"Most Jews believe in a two-state solution. I do not believe in this.
A Palestinian state will concoct its own rules and laws to continue the
killing of Jews.” He suggested instead that Israel, “Wake up and smell
the Hummus. We must return to the status quo –
the occupation…I think Israel should stand strong and fight
– dismantle Hamas and take away all the weapons, the way it used to be.
The introduction of weapons into Palestinian society by Israel
[under the Oslo accords, Israel gave assault rifles to Arafat’s
‘police force’ –ed.] was a disaster and t
hey must be confiscated.”

Palestinian American relatives, Kamal Younis. Kamal had
checked his facts with other relatives and everyone of
them agreed that, "Walid's entire biography is a manufactured
fabrication. His handlers have taken one point and have
twisted it and built up a fictional story."

was the Muslim Mukhtar (chieftain) of Beit Sahour-Bethlehem.
It neglects to mention that Beit Sahour is adjacent to
Bethlehem, not a part of Bethlehem and also ignores
the fact that in Beit Sahour at that time there were
eight tribes; two Muslim and six Christian. Walid's
grandfather was only the Mukhtar for one of the
Muslim tribes. Walid's bio claims his grandfather
was a friend of Haj-Ameen Al-Husseni, the Grand
Mufti of Jerusalem and notorious friend of Adolf
Hitler. Walid's grandfather never even met him
and was a peaceful man.
both attended Humboldt State College in Arcata,
California, from 1954-1960. Walid was born in
September of 1960 in Beit Sahour after his American
mother and father returned there from America. His
older sister and brother were born in the USA, and
the family lived in Jericho until 1968, then in Saudia
Arabia for two years then returned to Beit Sahour.
school with her friends and were stopped and beaten
up by Israeli soldiers, they nearly broke Mona's back.
This made Walid very angry and shortly thereafter he
attended his first demonstration against the
occupation. In 1977 Walid was caught distributing
Palestinian flags and was arrested and held for
about two weeks in Mascubia Prison, until his
mother went to the Embassy and got him released.
to glue Palestinian flags on street posts. But, when
he was in jail he met someone who invited him to
join a group against Israel. In 1977 Walid and his
friends put packages behind a bank, but there were
no explosives in it. That year he also met some
Jehovah Witnesses and joined them for a while.

I knew them and they were peaceful men.
friend and they went into business together, but it
didn't work out, so he moved to Chicago in 1981
where many cousins live and asked for help. He went
to Loop College [now Harold Washington College] and
was appointed as a foreign student advisor; a position
offered him so he could pay his tuition.
went back to California. He met a Palestinian girl there
and they got married and had a son. But, he beat his
wife and that marriage broke up.
they died Walid was to share the inheritance with his
sister and brother, but his siblings never received a
dime from their grandparent's estate. And, while his
own father was in a nursing home in California Walid
took his mother and moved far away from him to
another city.
"Walid claimed on CNN that he met Sheikh Jamal and was
a member of the Muslim Brotherhood and claimed he had
been a member of a U.S. sleeper cell terrorist group.
All his relatives doubt this greatly, but we do believe
he is being paid big money to keep saying bad
things about Muslims."
Walid's relatives aren’t the only one's doubting his integrity,
Rev. Alex Awad, president of the Council of Evangelical Churches
in Palestine, has denied large portions of Walid's spin also.
In a letter answering allegations made by Shoebat,
Awad shows problems with his timeline and his poor
knowledge of the Christian leaders in Palestine.
“We urge God’s people everywhere not to jump
on this sensational bandwagon,” said Awad.
“Christians are called by God to prayerfully
use the gift of discernment.”

Walid's brand of Christianity has nothing to do
with the teachings of Jesus who promised it is the
peacemakers who are the children of God and not
those that bomb, torture, starve or occupy others.
Walid's brand of Christianity defies that
"God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God,
and God in him. There is no fear in love.
Perfect love drives out all fear because fear
has to do with punishment." 1 John 4:16, 18
Walid's brand of Christianity as professed by anti-Christ's
[against the teachings of Christ] such as John Hagee and
Tim La Haye's Left Behind nonsense is the epitome of the
spirit of the anti-Christ: fear of the other that
drives one to violence.
Walid's brand of Christianity thrives on fear and Jesus
said: "FEAR NOT! You shall know the truth and
the truth will set you free."
Walid's brand of Christianity leaves behind all the
non-negotiables for those who claim to be a Christian;
which is you must forgive, bless and love your enemies.
The problem is not with Christianity but that too
few have done it the way Jesus taught and modeled:
to always work for PEACEFUL resolutions, even to the
point of returning violence with compassion and
forgiveness, as Jesus did when nailed to a cross
and he prayed: "Father forgive them, they do not
know what they are doing."
St. Paul who never hesitated expressing his freedom
of speech warned, "Do not judge the non-believer,
it is none of your business. But, when it comes to the
believer, provoke one another to good works."
God knows the motivations of Walid's heart, but as Rev.
Awad warned, “Christians are called by God to
prayerfully use the gift of discernment.”
Discernment and good intelligence is what our
troops need, and that is not what they are receiving on
