Kasim Hafeez was brought up to hate Israel, but he always placed evidence above received opinion. He actually bothered to read Alan Dershowitz's The Case for Israel (2004) and then explored the claims within. Here is his story: http://www.frontpagemag.com/2014/joseph-puder/kasim-hafeez-a-story-of-a-miraculous-transformation/ Having been an ardent Marxist-Leninist when I was young, I can relate to believing in an ideology only to reject it when reality clearly does not match. These two books by Dershowitz (the latter published in 2008) are not a bad place to start.
