"The Day I Stopped Hating Israel. Confessions of an Ex-Radical" with Kasim Hafeez

Kasim Hafeez, a British Muslim of Pakistani origin, grew up around extreme anti-Semitic and anti-Israel views.

He harbored an intense hatred for Israel and drifted towards radical Islamism, being further radicalized at university.

After reading “The Case for Israel” by Alan Dershowitz and "Israel 101" by StandWithUs, he began a period of learning, culminating in a trip to Israel.  This was the turning point. 

Today, Kasim is proud to speak up for Israel and call himself a Zionist. 

StandWithUs-Chicago invites you to hear the story of an extraordinary young man, who rejected indoctrination and took a journey from hate to love, from ignorance to understanding.

The event is free and open to the public.
