Facing deportation, convicted terrorist Rasmea Odeh on Sunday bid a tearful but defiant farewell as she blasted “Zionists” and President Trump in a fiery speech that drew a standing ovation from a pro-Palestinian crowd in Chicago.
“We need you to continue resisting Trump’s agenda and to continue challenging the Zionists and to continue providing your solidarity and support to the Palestinian and Arab national movement,” said Odeh, a featured speaker at the leftist Jewish Voice for Peace conference at the Hyatt Regency.
Not far away at the same hotel complex, the mood was far more subdued as mourners remembered the two Hebrew University students killed in the 1969 bombing in Tel Aviv, which earned Odeh a decade in an Israeli prison before she was released in a prisoner exchange.
She entered the U.S. more than 20 years ago after giving false answers on her visa application, saying she had not been detained by police, charged with crimes, or incarcerated.
Odeh, 69, agreed last month to leave the country in exchange for no jail time.
There was no mention of the deadly bombing during Odeh’s speech, which came as part of the final plenary session at the three-day conference. Instead, the applause was thunderous as the 69-year-old Odeh took to the podium after a glowing introduction by Rabbi Alissa Wise, a JVP deputy director.
Ms. Wise praised Odeh’s work as a community organizer working with Arab women in Chicago and said her fight to avoid deportation was backed not only by Palestinian groups, but by “the Movement for Black Lives, the women’s rights movement, anti-torture groups, and sexual-assault survivor organizations.”
Odeh’s effort “has become one of the most prominent social justice campaigns in the entire United States,” said Ms. Wise.

That is a good quote.
If ever a country bid fair to become an epicenter of Christian faith in anything close to heart sincerity it has been America with its God fearing rednecks.
Muslims will not be able to ignore a Christian redneck revolution. Yee haw.
Spain had a state church problem. Other countries if not that had a weak church problem.
America too has been going weak. But she doesn’t have to keep it up.
Yee Haw, eh?
OK! (but that’s much different than the good Lord taking care of everything for us while we go fishing and drink beers)
You can’t do that, she would grab the controls and find the nearest non-Muslim target to crash into maybe.
Amazing how stupid Blacks celebrate their Muslim oppressors — their original slave masters and the only people still enslaving Blacks to this very day
Self-haters gonna self-hate

A known terrorist with strong political connections in the US. I hope the authorities are paying attention.
Well, like the angel greeted Gideon with a compliment. “God is with you, mighty warrior.”
We got to do it Jesus’ way, however. We’d like to punch some noses, I know. The Holy Spirit generally does the nose punching for us when we stand up for the gospel, even unto death, however.
