Alex Odeh

Alex Odeh was a Palestinian-American activist born in the village of Jifna near Ramallah. After being barred from returning to his homeland following the 1967 occupation, he relocated to the United States, where he became a prominent advocate against anti-Arab discrimination. Odeh was killed on October 11, 1985, in a bombing at his office in Santa Ana, California, and his murder remains officially unsolved. His death became a symbol of political violence in the U.S., and a recent documentary seeks to shed light on the unresolved case.
