London’s Times Online has an unbelievable story about one of the more incredible spies for Israel in recent times.
Mosab Hassan Yousef, nicknamed the “Green Prince”, spied for Israel’s Shin Bet security service for over a decade, using his connections and knowledge as the son of Sheikh Hassan Yousef, one of Hamas’s founding members! Yousef, a convert to Christianity, saved countless lives and did it all not for money or favors, but simply for the sake of saving lives.
His Shin Bet handler said, “So many people owe him their life and don’t even know it… The amazing thing is that none of his actions were done for money. He did things he believed in. He wanted to save lives. His grasp of intelligence matters was just as good as ours — the ideas, the insights. One insight of his was worth 1,000 hours of thought by top experts.”
Yousef’s compassion for life is evident as well in his amazingly strong statements about Gilad Shalit, the young soldier who was kidnapped by Hamas never to be seen since, and the current and ongoing prospect of trading terrorists for Shalit:
I wish I were in Gaza now… I would put on an army uniform and join Israel’s special forces in order to liberate Gilad Shalit. If I were there, I could help. We wasted so many years with investigations and arrests to capture the very terrorists that they now want to release in return for Schalit. That must not be done.
This has all come out recently, as Yousef is releasing a book next month, entitled Son of Hamas, which promises to be a very interesting read.

I previously posted about the latest rash of scandalous photos coming out of Afghanistan showing U.S. military atrocities under Obama’s command, and wondering if the media would pick up on it the way they did when it was Bush’s army… Well, here’s a twist I wasn’t expecting: yes, one of the U.S. media, Rolling Stone, [...]
Jeffrey Goldberg, a correspondent for the Atlantic, cast a spotlight on yet another disgustingly overt example of pure bias in the mainstream media, particularly at the anti-Semitic Reuters newswire. He points to a Reuters news item which contains the following despicable sentences: Police said it was a “terrorist attack” — Israel’s term for a Palestinian [...]
In the [sparse] reporting of the Palestinians’ massacre of the Fogel family, several newspapers stand out with their distorted sense of “balance”, i.e., where they feel overwhelmingly uncomfortable describing the barbarity of the Palestinians without at least taking a swipe or two at the Israelis, no matter how patently irrelevant or disgustingly disrespectful it comes [...]
