Ayman Nassar, the second Islamist commissioner to get tossed from the hate crimes board within three months, resigned on August 19 amid public outrage over his role in terror-linked organizations and his history of anti-American, antisemitic, and homophobic hate speech. Nassar has accused Israel of harvesting the organs of living Palestinians and shared posts referring to Gaza as a "Holocaust." He is chairman of the Aafia Foundation, a "terrorist support group" that seeks to free "Lady Al Qaeda" Aafia Siddiqui and other convicted terrorists from prison.

Israeli forces killed Hezbollah leader Fouad Shukur in Beirut on Tuesday, while Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh died Wednesday from an Israeli strike in Tehran. Both men caused the deaths of innocent civilians as well as Israeli and American soldiers. Writing today for the Wall Street Journal, MEF president Daniel Pipes argued that since Hamas's Oct. 7 attacks, Israel has unfortunately followed "two opposite policies" simultaneously: "destroy the organization and make a deal with it."
