Kamal Younis is a Palestinian resident of Bethlehem in the West Bank, known primarily as a cousin or close family member of Walid Shoebat, a controversial figure who claims to have been a former PLO terrorist before converting to Christianity and becoming an anti-Islam activist. Younis has publicly disputed Shoebat's personal history, denying his claims of PLO involvement and terrorism. In interviews around 2004-2005, Younis described Shoebat as having been a radical youth involved in stone-throwing and protests against Israeli occupation but denied any participation in bombings, bank robberies, or other violent acts attributed to Shoebat. Younis has provided insights into the Shoebat family background, portraying them as ordinary Palestinians without ties to militant groups. His statements have been used to question the authenticity of Shoebat's narrative, which has been central to Shoebat's speaking career and books since the early 2000s. Younis maintains a low profile as a private citizen and has not been involved in broader public or political activities beyond these family disputes, highlighting tensions within families divided by political ideologies and religious conversions in the Israeli-Palestinian context. He identifies as a Muslim Palestinian Arab and resides in the West Bank.
