Mosab Hassan Yousef was born in Bir Zeit, near Ramallah on the West Bank in 1978. His father, Sheikh Hassan Yousef, is a founding leader of terrorist organization Hamas. Yousef was an integral part of the movement, for which he was imprisoned several times by the Shin Bet, the Israeli intelligence service. He withstood torture in prison only to discover Hamas was torturing its own people in a relentless search for collaborators. He began to question who his enemies really were–Israel? Hamas? America?
