  CAIR-CA Condemns Death Threats Targeting CEO Hussam Ayloush on X Account of Anti-Muslim Extremist, Disgraced Former FBI Agent John Guandolo July 21, 2026 2:07 pm The California chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-CA) today condemned online death threats directed at Hussam Ayloush, the organization’s CEO and executive director of CAIR’s Greater Los Angeles Area office (CAIR-LA), on the public X account of former FBI agent and anti-Muslim extremist John Guandolo. In the post , Guandolo reportedly wrote, “…Hussam Ayloush–should have had a bullet in his head long ago … In Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, and other such countries American military men would end this turd.”   CAIR-CA is treating the statement as a serious threat and has notified the appropriate authorities.  In a statement, CAIR-LA Legal Director Amr Shabaik said: “Any threat of political violence targeting civil rights leaders is appalling and unacceptable—but this violent rhetoric aimed...

  Mohamed al-Wahidi, 57 years old, a husband, father and grandfather, spent his days doing what aid workers do in a place with almost nothing left: clearing rubble, reopening roads, repairing a leaking pipe, filling a community water tank, or building tents for families with nowhere else to go.

On the eve of Egypt’s match against Argentina, Israel killed him along with the 33-year-old taxi driver as well as two young brothers, ages 8 and 10, walking nearby.

Al-Wahidi is one name in Gaza’s daily killing rituals under the supposed ceasefire. Israel has murdered more than 1,100 Palestinians in the Strip since October 2025 — 265 of them children . Not a single Israeli civilian has been kille...

  “Supporting the U.S.-Israeli relationship is quickly becoming a minority view among congressional Democrats, a shockingly seismic shift in a brief period of time.  You have Socialists running on an anti-American platform: ‘yes’ to Hamas and ‘no’ to supporting one of our closest democratic allies.” – Representative Josh Gottheimer, Dem/NJ, The New York Times, July 16, 2026 There are numerous myths espoused by Jewish and non-Jewish supporters of Israel that deny the violent displacement of Palestinians from Israel in 1948 as well as support for the belief that the June 1967 six-day war was preemptive.  The worst of the mythologies deal with whether Palestinians left their homeland “voluntarily” in 1967—there was nothing voluntary about it.  The myth heard most often, however, is cited by members of Congress—the contention that Israel is a democracy—indeed, the “only democracy in the Middle East.” Israel was not a true democracy from the outset in 1948, since more tha...
