Council for the National Interest (CNI), of which Findley was a founder, as an "anti-Israel organization" that "disseminates demonizing propaganda about Israel to academics, politicians, and other audiences." The ADL alleges that the CNI has disseminated cartoons with anti-Semitic based themes by Khalil Bendib. Additionally, it expressed concern about a 2003 article by Findley blamed U.S. support of Israel for the September 11 Attacks: "Nine-eleven would not have occurred if the U.S. government had refused to help Israel humiliate and destroy Palestinian society." Findley continued in the same article that: "America suffered 9/11 and its aftermath and may soon be at war with Iraq, mainly because U.S. policy in the Middle East is made in Israel, not in Washington." Death Findley died on August 9, 2019, at Passavant Area Hospital in Jacksonville, Illinois, at the age of 98. He is survived by his son and daughter, four grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. His son Craig J. Findley served in the Illinois General Assembly.
