Jamal Khashhoggi - just a reporter, right? lol
Tayeh, like Khaled Elgindy, was working as a member of former Georgia Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney's staff. Tayeh was employed as an aide. Elgindy was employed as McKinney's Press Secretary.
At a fundraiser for the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR), which, by the way, was incorporated as an offshoot of Al-Arian's IAP, McKinney called CAIR "a reputable and respected Muslim civil-rights organization".
Tayeh resigned his aide position from McKinney's staff after he declared that Jewish members of Congress had divided loyalties between America and Israel. Tayeh's comments appeared as a letter to the editor in an issue of The Hill.
"What is more disturbing to me is that many of these pro-Israeli lawmakers sit on the House International Relations Committee despite the obvious conflict of interest that their emotional attachments to Israel cause…"
Tayeh identified himself as a member of Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney's staff.
"The Israeli occupation of all territories must end, including Congress…"
Khaled Elgindy appears to have been living somewhat of a political and ideological double life. While Khaled was spouting rhetoric like this:
"Equally as disturbing as the alleged ties to Zionists are the Coptic associations' affinities for another group inimical to Arabs and Muslims. The powerful Christian Right, whose cult-like devotion to Israel and profound disdain for Islam are among the pillars of its religious-political doctrine, has also given wide play to Coptic claims of persecution. For evangelical Christians, the litany of "social ills" these born-again soldiers of God aim to defeat – abortion, homosexuality, pornography, higher taxes, etc. – was added a crusade against Islam and Muslims."
… and was employed as Georgia Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney's Press Secretary, he was also serving Abrams on his DC Human Rights Committee.
