PA daily reports on event glorifying former terrorist
Headline: “A solidarity rally in Chicago in honor of released prisoner Rasmieh Odeh”
“The Palestinian community, the Arab community, and the forces that identify with our people in Chicago in the US, held a mass rally as a sign of solidarity with released prisoner fighter Rasmieh Odeh (i.e., terrorist, murdered 2), following the American authorities’ decision to deport her from the US. Historic fighter Angela Davis (i.e., American political activist) took part in the rally and gave a speech, in which she emphasized the stand of the blacks in the US alongside the Palestinian people and its rights, and [the blacks’] opposition to the policy of deporting and targeting male and female fighters in the US, and [US President Donald] Trump’s racist policy. Fighter Odeh gave a speech in which she emphasized the continuation of the struggle until the liberation of all Palestine and its people, and the realization of its right to return to its homeland and to self-definition. Fighter Odeh is a Palestinian who joined the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) in her youth. She carried out a self-sacrificing operation (i.e., terror attack) in occupied Jerusalem in 1968 (sic., 1969) and was arrested following it. She served 10 years of imprisonment in the occupation’s prisons until she was released in a [prisoner] exchange deal with the occupation.”
Rasmieh Odeh - Palestinian terrorist from the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) terrorist organization. In 1970, Odeh was convicted by the State of Israel for the murder of 2 civilians and other terror-related activity. She placed bombs in a Jerusalem supermarket on Feb. 21, 1969, and in the British Consulate in Jerusalem on two separate occasions: Feb. 21, 1969 and Feb. 25, 1969. In the supermarket bombing 2 Israelis were murdered and 20 injured. She received 2 life sentences in 1970, but was released in 1979 when Israel exchanged 76 terrorists for an Israeli soldier being held hostage in Lebanon.
In 1995, Odeh entered the US hiding her Israeli criminal record from the US authorities, and received US citizenship in 2004. She served as Associate Director of the Arab American Action Network in Chicago, Illinois, and worked as an Obamacare Navigator. In 2013 she was arrested for immigration fraud. She was convicted in 2014 and her citizenship was annulled. Her sentence included 18 months in prison and subsequent deportation to Jordan. After one month in jail, Odeh was released on bond pending a new trial on Jan. 10, 2017, following an appeal to include evidence that was excluded in the first trial. The trial was later postponed to May 16, 2017. However, on March 25, 2017, Odeh accepted a plea deal to be stripped of US citizenship and deported in exchange for not serving jail time. While preparing for the trial, the US district prosecutor turned to PMW for evidence on Odeh's criminal past. PMW supplied incriminating video footage that documented her involvement in terrorist activity.
