Walid Shoebat was born in Bethlehem of Judea, Israel. As a young man, he became a member of the Palestine Liberation Organization and participated in acts of terror and violence against Israel. He was later imprisoned in the Russian Compound, Jerusalem's central prison for incitement and violence against Israel. In 1993, he read the Bible at the behest of his wife and converted to Christianity. Ever since, he has been educating his former enemies about the Jihadist threat they face.
