A DePaul University student group is set to fundraise for a Palestinian terrorist facing deportation after she was convicted of immigration fraud this past November.
Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) is carrying out the fundraiser tomorrow evening for a former organizer for the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, Rasmea Yousef Odeh.

Rasmea Yousef Odeh was convicted in Israel in 1970 for two terrorist attacks: a supermarket bombing that killed two students and an attempt four days later to blow up the British Consulate. Tweet This

The page for the event, hosted by the Chicago chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP), says the fundraiser will include “a comedy performance from Amer Zahr, spoken word and dance performances, and a speech from Rasmea’s defense committee.”

According to the site, “[a]ll proceeds from the fundraiser will go to Rasmea’s legal defense fund.”

SJP Chicago says Odeh is a 67-year-old Palestinian community leader in Chicago who “was indicted for allegedly falsifying information on her immigration papers.”

But Odeh’s history is apparently a bit more colorful than that.

Rasmea Yousef Odeh was convicted in Israel in 1970 for two terrorist attacks: a supermarket bombing that killed two students and an attempt four days later to blow up the British Consulate.

Because of her alleged involvement, Odeh was convicted by an Israeli court and sentenced to life in prison, only to be released in 1980 in a prisoner exchange with the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine.
