🟥 A U.S. Citizen. A Father of Five. Murdered by Settlers in the West Bank.

His name was Khamis Ayyad.
He was a 40-year-old husband and father of five, originally from Cicero, Illinois.
And now he’s dead — burned to death after Jewish settlers reportedly set fire to his Palestinian village in the occupied West Bank.

His crime? Trying to save people.

According to his family, Khamis woke up in the middle of the night to help put out fires started by settlers in his village.
He was killed by smoke inhalation and tear gas fired by Israeli military forces during the chaos.

Mourners carried his body through the streets of his town — weeping, grieving, calling out to God — and buried him with the same pain Palestinians have buried thousands of others this year.

🇺🇸 He was an American citizen. That should matter right?

Khamis Ayyad lived and worked remotely for an American company.
He raised his children in Illinois.
He paid taxes.
He followed the law.

And now he’s dead.

At least five American citizens have been killed in the West Bank recently.

Brother Khamis is the second American killed by Jewish terrorists in July alone.

Where is the State Department?
Where is the Department of Justice?
It seems like it only matters to them when white Americans are killed abroad.

🗣️ “We demand a federal investigation.”

At a press conference in Chicago, elected officials and CAIR-Chicago joined the family of Khamis Ayyad to demand an official U.S. response.

“We demand that the Department of Justice investigates the killing of a U.S. citizen abroad.”
— William Asfour, CAIR-Chicago

“He died while trying to put out fires set by Israeli settlers. He was killed by the smoke — reportedly, by the tear gas fired by the Israeli military.”
— Illinois State Rep. Abdelnasser Rashid

And his cousin Mahmoud Issa described what happened that night:

“No retaliation from the Palestinian people, except to come out and try to put the fire out.”

🔥 When does the violence count?

This is not about politics.
This is about whether Palestinian lives — and especially Palestinian-American lives — have any value in the eyes of the U.S. government.

Because if Khamis Ayyad had been an Israeli-American killed by Palestinians, this would be global news.
Instead, it’s a footnote.

But not here.

Here, we will say his name.
We will tell the truth.
And we will not stop.
