EVIDENCE TO MY STORY
The litany of accusation in the media came in sequence. First I was a Lebanese Falangist. When this was proven false, then came the denial that I ever have lived in Israel. When this was proven false, then I was never in prison in Jerusalem. When this was proven false, then I was a Zionist agent doing this for money. Author Chris Hedges claims without shame that my story is a “fraud” without a single bit of confirming evidence to support his position.
You will find several articles attempting to discredit my story and my claims, none of which can respond to what you will find here.. My story is a litany of personal accounts from imprisonment, an attempted lynching, a failed bombing operation of an Israeli bank, a mother that was not permitted to leave to her country (U.S), an education on anti-Semitism, terror support in the U.S, and a connection to family well linked to terrorism. These are all documented in my book “Why We Want To Kill You,” yet rest assured that nothing can be refuted in an entire book no matter what my critics write. Everything I stated is true. These attempts to discredit my story came through my Muslim family and relatives who are either involved in aiding and abetting terrorism, financial terrorism, or actual bombings in Israel. Here they are case by case:
PROVIDING MORAL AND LEGAL SUPPORT TO
AL-QAEDA HAMAS AND HEZBOLLAH
1—Jawad Younis, whose brother Kamal Younis. Evidence of my connection to these are public:
“This civilian journalist spoke with one of Walid’s many 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.” (WeAreWideAwake, amateur journalist Eileen Fleming, 2/3/2008)
http://www.wearewideawake.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=791&Itemid=197
These were waiting inline to testify against me to the liberal media forgot to inform the media that his brother Jawad Younis was exiled by Israel for involvement in a terror ring, in fact he can be linked to supporting Hezbollah. When this fact was brought to the attention of Eileen Fleming, an amateur journalist who openly supports Hezbollah, in one article stated Kamal’s denial:
“On Feb. 26, I phoned Walid’s relative Kamal Younis the good news that his name was mentioned [by Shoebat] from the King Center stage and filled him in that his brother Jawad is another supposed terrorist.. Kamal laughed, “Walid is a master of spin! He takes one iota of truth and creates a fiction!” (Arabisto)
Eileen is an American that doesn’t know Arabic, and as a typical amateur in journalism or Middle East expertise believed Kamal. Jawad Younis the Al-Qaeda representative lawyer can be confirmed to have been extradited from Israel and his connection supporting terrorism up in the highest level can be proven to anyone. A letter to Hassan Nassrallah (Hezbollah’s leader himself) can be viewed on:
http://lejardinsecretdugeneralbenali.blogspot.com/
Jawad Younis writes:
“To His Excellency Mr. Nasrallah Secretary General of Hezbullah the Victorious by the will of Allah …We grip our hands with you, and all the Jihadists for the cause of Allah…as you lunge with your souls for the battle of the [Islamic] Umma (nation), to fight the demonic forces of America and Zionism, the sons of the great Satan.” Signed as #4 of this delegation Jawad Younis. (Letter of support to Nassrallah, dated 7/19/2006, published July 27th, 2006)
Jawad was the defense attorney of Abu Zubaydah of Al-Qaeda who in fact was Jawad’s client in absentia. Abu Zubayda is in U.S custody and later confessed against Khalid Sheik Muhammad the mastermind of operation 9/11 which killed 3000 Americans.
Kamal clearly lied to the media regarding his brother Jawad’s involvement, a thing known to everyone in our community back home, and while Jawad defends Al-Qaeda operatives, Kamal is an interpreter, I challenge him to find inconsistencies in my translation of his brother’s letter. Kamal’s expertise as an Arab translation is listed on his website:
It is astonishing to even find out that Kamal assisted in interpreting secret FBI recorded phone conversations in the Sami Al-Aryan’s case:
His associate Khaled M. Diab “Dr. Diab worked on Research and management in the defense industry in the areas of Communication, Command and Control and Information Sciences. His work involved some top secret projects.”
Eileen Fleming, the amateur journalist and the Hamas pawn who is tricked by Younis and Co, seem to have no problem to lend moral support for the family of terrorist and suicide bomber Ayyat Al-Akhras and even proudly travels to Deheisheh refugee camp to lend such support:
“Imad Younis, the coordinator for Islamic Relief of the West Bank, had arranged for the group to meet the family of the first female suicide bomber, Ayyat Lufti Al Akhrass in her families’ home in Dheisheh refugee camp.” (Eileene Fleming, We Are Wide Awake, June 19th, 2005)

2—Imad Younis, the coordinator for Islamic Relief of the West Bank, had arranged for the group to meet the family of the first female suicide bomber, Ayyat Lutfi Al Akhrass. Both Imad and Adnan Younis his brother were active with me in the attempt to pressure the United States to release Ziad Abu Eian a terrorist who killed 3 civilian Jews in Israel.
CONNECTION TO TERRORISTS
AND SUICIDE BOMBERS
My connection to a family of terrorists is iron-clad. Evidence of family connection is publicly documented information:
3—Arin Ahmed Shoebat (Shu’aybat) another family member was part of a suicide bombing operation in Rishon Letzion, when her colleague Mahmoud blew himself and killed innocent Jews. Anyone can google “Arin Ahmed” and find this. Even the name in Arabic (Arin Shoebat (Shu’aybat) from Beit Sahur). She was visited by Defense Minister Benjamin Ben-Eliezer in prison, the story can be found on:
4—My cousin Raed Khaleel Awadallah Shoebat (Shu’aybat) was killed during a terror operation to blow up Jews in Ben Yehuda street in Jerusalem . His martyrdom record can even be accessed on the web:
http://www.3jeebo4all.com/vb/showthread.php?t=2755&page=9
Sure, it’s in Arabic, however, all too frequently reporters who fail to understand what the Arabs say in Arabic are quick to unjustly accuse me instead of getting an interpreter. Once you obtain (an honest) interpreter, you will find the name is clear:
“Raed Khaleel Awadallah Shoebat (Shu’aybat) martyred 1/2/1995.”
21 1/2/1995
5—Mahmoud Khaleel Awadallah Shoebat (Shua’ybat), and brother of Raed was also sentenced for life for bombing and attempting to kill Jews then released through an international deal. He is now free, willing and ready to testify against me that I was never a terrorist, yet he will deny that he ever was one himself.
6—Ibrahim Khaleel Awadallah Shoebat (Shua’ybat). Ibrahim is a pro-Hamas educator who teaches Islamic studies on the Temple Mount.. Ibrahim drowned in the Mediterranean and was rescued by a Jew while two of his colleagues died. Yet, this rescue by a Jew was never appreciated, in fact it is denied by the family.

CASTING DOUBTS
Anyone can view from such damaging attempts that even lend additional credibility to my story and claims. My own family testified mixing truth with lies:
“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…..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.” (Eileen Fleming, a very stupid journalist writing for Opednews, Feb 2, 2008)
One can read through the lines, it’s true that I was in prison and was involved with a terror group by my family’s own words. Don’t get caught up with the words “there were no explosives in [the package]” Why would my family remember an event in 1977 in which I planted a package without explosives? Why remember such an uneventful event? This attempt to discredit me is nothing new, yet these stories were never posted on mainstream media. The New York Times also ran an article which has not a single line of evidence, keep in mind, the credentials of that paper are more questionable then my story.
They tried to smear McCain and they failed. No serious media believed the smear campaign in that paper which included CAIR (Council of American Islamic Relations) as an accepted verifiable source? In fact this article written by the New York Times was clearly refuted by terror expert Steve Emerson:
Instead of focusing on my family’s denied terror connection and financial fraud, the media wants you to focus more on our finances vy claiming that we are not a charitable organization. In fact F.F.M.U (Foundation For Middle East Understanding) was set up as a 501C3 to receive donations, yet the media opts to include only the business aspect of our firm (Top Executive Media) that deals with our book sales and speaking fees. It is not a crime to collect pay for speaking fees and book sales. Voluntary activism in our opinion is less effective.
For serious journalists who want to interview real witnesses that can testify to my bombing operation in Bethlehem, we will be glad to provide this, just make your request in writing. What is amazing is that we offered such testimonies and these offers were turned down. If you find yourself with a duty to refute my story, I challenge you contact us, and we will gladly take the challenge.
For additional evidence on documents that proves most aspects to my claims you can go to Daniel Pipes’s Middle East Forum. Mr. Pipes is a well respected and reputable expert analyst who examined much of my records–my family’s American relationship with Winston Churchill, land deeds, birth certificates, newspaper reports on family connection to terror and such. Mr.. Pipes confirmed my credibility http://www.danielpipes.org/comments/27999
“Daniel Pipes replies: May 18, 2006 response: Walid Shoebat took the time to visit me in my office today and to show me proofs that his life story is a true one. I accept that it is.”
If you doubt Mr. Pipes testimony, I will be glad to disclose such documents to an arbiter of both our choice and yours, on the condition you pay the expense and costs, and that this firm keeps my records confidential.
To finalize this issue, please acknowledge that I have addressed audiences at numerous government agencies in the FBI and Counter Terrorism Task Force. These agencies always scrutinize my credentials and background, and they have cleared me each and every time. My advisory board is comprised of U.S. Generals and other senior officers from the U.S. Military. It is a shame that so many fall into this smear campaign made by journalists against my character and credentials.
MEDIA MADDNESS
If I do not view the media, I am not informed, but when I do, I am usually ill-informed. Despite all the evidence I provided the media against my family’s ties to terror, they seem to accept my relatives links to terrorism as irrelevant, choose to believe their testimony against me, and are glad to deny my terror links including my own confession. They were glad to label me during my terror days as a freedom fighter, now they label me a racist and an Islamophobe. The same media that believed us during my terror supporting days when we were lying, yet refuse to believe us when we are telling the truth. The same media that insisted “Israel should release P.L.O terrorists” then insist only repentant ones like myself be put back in prison. They love to cast doubts. They will use any unscrupulous methods and lawless witnesses in order to obtain anything to prevent our war on terror, instead they want to gladly justify it.
