Alex Odeh

Uncommon card · No. 127321

Alexander Michel Odeh (Arabic: اسكندر ميكل عودة; April 4, 1944 – October 11, 1985) was a Palestinian-American civil rights activist. He served as the West Coast regional director of the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC) until he was assassinated in a pipe-bomb explosion at his office in Santa Ana, California. The FBI investigated the bombing as an act of domestic terrorism and linked the attack to members of the militant group the Jewish Defense League (JDL). Although primary suspects were identified early on, no one has ever been convicted for Odeh's murder, leaving the case officially unsolved. The Odeh assassination is widely documented as a targeted hate crime motivated by anti-Arab sentiment.
