A federal judge in the United States is facing intense scrutiny and formal ethics complaints over allegations of deep-seated anti-Palestinian bias following a series of outspoken public remarks.

U.S. District Judge Roy Altman sparked widespread controversy after reportedly referring to the traditional Palestinian keffiyeh as a "terror scarf" during recent pro-Israel advocacy events.

Legal watchdogs argue that such inflammatory commentary severely undermines the integrity and constitutional impartiality of the federal bench, demanding an immediate judicial review into his conduct.
