VIDEO: Chicago crowd cheers as convicted terrorist Rasmea Odeh calls for destruction of Israel
It’s not about “the occupation.” It never was.
On August 12, 2017, a farewell gala event honoring Rasmea Odeh was held in Chicago by a coalition of anti-Israel groups, and attended by several hundred people.
This coming Thursday, August 17, 2017, Rasmea will be sentenced in federal court in Detroit after a guilty plea to immigration fraud. By her plea agreement, Rasmea will be deported and will lose her U.S. citizenship, but will not serve any further jail time.
Rasmea’s immigration plea resulted from her lies on immigration and naturalization forms in which she concealed a prior conviction and prison term for a 1969 supermarket bombing in Jerusalem that killed two Hebrew University students, Edward Joffe and Leon Kanner. Rasmea also concealed her conviction for the attempted bombing of the British Consulate that same year.
Rasmea and her supporters have thrown up phony defense after defense to both the underlying bombing and the immigration charges. Those defenses have been methodically debunked in numerous prior posts, including:
- Rasmea Odeh rightly convicted of Israeli supermarket bombing and U.S. immigration fraud
- Prosecutors seek testimony of Rasmea Odeh bombing co-conspirators
- Rasmea Odeh prosecutors: At new trial, we’ll prove Rasmea was a terrorist
- New VIDEO surfaces implicating Rasmea Odeh in deadly supermarket bombing
- Rasmea Odeh’s victims – then and now
Rasmea has become a hero of the anti-Israel movement in the U.S., particularly with groups such as Jewish Voice for Peace, as documented in our post, Jewish Voice for Peace’s long embrace of convicted terrorist Rasmea Odeh.
JVP honored Rasmea at JVP’s 2017 annual meeting held in Chicago, including this warm introduction by JVP “Rabbi” Alissa Wise, who recently was barred entry to Israel:
Rasmea also received a warm embrace by Linda Sarsour, a co-panelist at the JVP meeting:
Not surprisingly, JVP joined in supporting and attending Rasmea’s farewell party.
Groups like JVP like to claim the conflict is about the 1967 “occupation” of the West Bank by Israel, and that the Boycott Divestment and Sanctions movement is only about removing that occupation. That argument is a canard — as numerous leaders of BDS have said quite clearly that they consider all of Israel occupied.
At Rasmea’s farewell party, the masked dropped once again.
In the introduction of Rasmea, Hatem Abudayyeh of the Rasmea Defense Committee and Arab American Action Network held out Rasmea as “an example to all of us, the absolute personification of our struggle, the worldwide struggle for the liberation of all of historical Palestine.”
When they say the liberation of “all of Palestine,” they mean Israel. That’s why the common BDS chant, “From the River to the Sea, Palestine will be Free” is a call for the destruction of Israel, not an end to the “occupation.”
Rasmea repeated that call: “We are winning this battle with the Zionists, you are winning this battle and we will never stop organizing until all of Palestine is free.”
(You can view the entire introduction and speech at the Facebook page of the U.S. Palestinian Community Network. IsraellyCool has additional footage and analysis.)
So there’s no denying it anymore.
People who support Rasmea support the destruction of Israel. It’s not about the “occupation,” it never was.

Ignorant progressives, or those that pretend not to know, help bring about regressive and illiberal forces that are the antithesis of the globalist utopia they orgasm over.
They are distinguished from the likes of JVP, who act with malice.
What will it take for these people to see the error of their ways. What will the JVP members say as they are led to the gallows along with the rest of us?
“What will it take for these people to see the error of their ways?” Answer: going to the gallows – their pathetic egos and juvenile narcissism will never otherwise allow them to see the ‘error of their ways.’ On the gallows, they’ll start to bargain with the executioner, who will laugh at them as he pushes them off the tailgate of a pickup truck to strangle.

Or they’ll just be shot and dumped into a pit.

As for “…led to the gallows along with the rest of us?”
No gallows for us. We win, or we die fighting.
Isn’t this malignant moron supposed to be deported?
And referring to her by anything more than her last name is demeaning to the people she murdered.
Read the article. She will be sentenced this Thursday, and then deported.
They’re still looking for a figure to unite the warring factions in order to confront apartheid and justify opening a mass abortion field.
Progress = monotonic change.
Liberalism = divergent (e.g. generational) ideology.
A conservation of principles is a prerequisite for reconciliation.
I respectfully object to using the “destruction of Israel” as it’s actually just another call for “Genocide of Jews” or as Muslims/Terrorists Say “Free Palestine”
Of course she was cheered in Chicago. Chicago has been run by the Left for generations and one of the sure ways to get the approval of the Left is to call for the genocide of Jews. It is not like it is part of our country.
That JVP’s “rabbi’s”, including Laurie Zimmerman (who’s peddling a mendacious Hebrew school curriculum to the Reconstructionist shul’s), Brant Rosen, Brian “love the SjP” Walt and Alissa “new travel plans” Wisse continue to celebrate this unrepentant killer of young Jews shows them for exactly what they are: terror supporting fake clergy who weaponize their “Rabbinic” titles. That not a single Reconstructionist leader (and there are many fine people involved in the movement, but apparently none with a moral backbone) has rebuked this vile partnership should trouble any parent who opposes lies or terror targeting young people.
Where is the outrage from Mayor Rham Emanuel? Being a self-loathing Jew who hates the State of Israel, his place of birth, makes his silence deafening. Commies and Statist ideologues who support this filthy fcuking terrorist “C” are self-serving pigs straight out of Orwell’s “Animal Farm”.
