Alex Odeh was killed for speaking out for Palestinian freedom and against anti-Arab racism. His message survived him. He deserves justice. Watch "Who Killed Alex Odeh?" and find a screening near you through @watermelonpictures.bsky.social

Now, the Sundance award-winning documentary "Who Killed Alex Odeh?" investigates why no one was ever held accountable—and uncovers new information about the Israeli government’s role in obstructing efforts to bring Odeh’s killers to justice.

The JDL was founded by convicted terrorist and far-right Israeli leader Meir Kahane. After Odeh’s killing, the three FBI suspects fled to Israel and eventually moved to an illegal Israeli settlement built on stolen Palestinian land. For four decades, Odeh’s family has demanded justice.

Odeh was a teacher, poet, father of three, and a director of the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee. He dedicated his life to fighting racism in the US and helping Americans understand Palestinians and Arabs. That's why the JDL wanted him dead.

41 years ago today, Palestinian American civil rights leader Alex Odeh was assassinated by a pipe bomb. The FBI linked the attack to the Jewish Defense League. Three suspects were identified, but none were prosecuted. And guess where the suspects fled to avoid accountability. Israel.
