In the 1990s, Awad published malicious anti-Semitic material including by Holocaust denier.<ref name=awad-1990s>Hillel Blasts Harvard Awardee Over His Former Organization’s Support for Terrorism, Holocaust Denial], Nov 14, 2017.
<blockquote>
Nihad Awad’s previous employer had strong ties to Hamas and published anti-Semitic screeds...
In the early 1990s, the letter continued, “Mr. Awad was the public relations director for the Islamic Association for Palestine (IAP) which published and distributed a monograph entitled ‘America’s Greatest Enemy: The Jew! And an Unholy Alliance!’”
According to an autobiographical essay published in 2000, Awad joined the IAP shortly after the Gulf War and worked for the organization through the spring of 1994 before leaving to start CAIR that summer. Sometime prior to August of 1994, the monograph referred to by Fingerhut, a shockingly anti-Semitic pamphlet containing the work of a noted Holocaust denier, was published, bearing the group’s logo on its cover.</blockquote></ref>
