Walid Shoebat lived through and witnessed Israel's Six Day War while living in Jericho. As a young man, he became an active, devoted member of the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO). After entering the U.S, he worked as a counselor for the Arab Student Organization at Loop College in Chicago and continued his anti-Israel activities. In 1993, Walid studied the Jewish Bible in a challenge to convert his wife to Islam. Through his intense study, Walid realized that everything he had been taught about Jews was a lie. Convinced he was on the side of evil, he became an advocate for his former enemy.
