Khaled Elgindy calls Yousef and Saad bigots, faults ADL for hosting them
Khaled ElgindySenior fellow, Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft
Elgindy condemned Yousef and Saad as bigots and criticized the ADL and Jonathan Greenblatt for hosting them.
Responding to
Yousef's remarks and the audience applause constituted anti-Muslim hate and warranted an apology and repudiation from the summit and its sponsors.
“Why is a presumed anti-hate organization like ADL hosting professional bigots and hatemongers like Mosab Hassan and Gad Saad? Jonathan Greenblatt has a lot of explaining to do.”

Mosab Hassan Yousef’s call for Muslims to leave the United States at the Jewish American Summit
At the August 30, 2026 Jewish American Summit in Los Angeles, Mosab Hassan Yousef said he did not want Muslims in America, used profanity to tell Muslims to leave the United States, and told them to return to and reform the countries they came from. Audience members applauded. Critics characterized the remarks and the response as anti-Muslim bigotry; the dispute also concerns responsibility among the event's organizers, sponsors, speakers, and public commentators.
