Rasmea Odeh, convicted terrorist, agrees to leave U.S. in exchange for no jail time - Polidicks

[quote]Convicted Palestinian terrorist Rasmea Yousef Odeh, an organizer of a Day Without a Woman, has agreed to leave the country in exchange for no jail time for failing to disclose the conviction on her U.S. visa application. Odeh, a resident of Chicago who has lived in the U.S. for about 20 years, plans to plead guilty to unlawful procurement of naturalization in a deal that will allow her to leave the United States rather than face the possibility of an 18-month prison sentence, according to Justice for Rasmea. She had been scheduled to undergo another trial after a U.S. appeals court vacated her 2014 conviction, saying an expert witness should have been allowed to testify that she suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder from allegedly being tortured in prison when she gave the false answers. The 69-year-old Palestinian activist was convicted in the 1969 supermarket bombing in Israel that killed two Hebrew University students. She served 10 years before being released in a prisoner exchange. Her supporters said it would be “impossible for Rasmea to expect a fair trial in U.S. courts.” “The prosecution team is now under the regime of racist Attorney General Jeff Sessions, and a new superseding indictment re-frames this as a case about ‘terrorism’ rather than immigration,” said a Thursday statement on the websites Justice for Rasmea and the U.S. Palestinian Community Network. “There is the great likelihood that a jury would be prejudiced by hearing the zionist Assistant U.S. Attorney Jonathan Tukel call Rasmea a ‘terrorist’ and her supporters ‘mobs and hordes,’ as he has done many times before,” said the post. Odeh, a feminist and Palestinian activist, was among those who organized the worldwide general strike Day Without a Woman. She is slated to speak next weekend at the Jewish Voices for Peace conference in Chicago. Her critics cheered the move. The conservative website Twitchy ran the headline “Day without a terrorist?” Cornell Law School professor William Jacobson, an Odeh critic, said her decision was “no surprise.” “She was convicted of immigration fraud in the first trial, and would have been convicted in the re-trial,” Mr. Jacobson said in an email. “Her new defense that PTSD caused her to falsely answer simple questions on her naturalization papers about past convictions and imprisonment was laughable. Rasmea and her supporters invented an alternate universe based on hatred of Israel, but alternate universes tend not to do very well in court when faced with real world evidence.”[/quote] [url]http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2017/mar/24/rasmea-odeh-convicted-terrorist-agrees-leave-us-ex/[/url] [url]http://www.freep.com/story/news/2017/03/23/woman-accused-terror-deported-under-plea-deal-no-jail-time/99560890/[/url]

Good, we don't need terrorists in our country.

[QUOTE=matt000024;52006986]Good, we don't need terrorists in our country.[/QUOTE] What exactly is stopping her from coming back now though I mean I agree with your statement but this is like pushing someone across a line in the sand that, if they wanted to, they could just step back across.

[QUOTE=gk99;52007053]What exactly is stopping him from coming back now though[/QUOTE] She being charged and prosecuted?

[quote]She is slated to speak next weekend at the Jewish Voices for Peace conference in Chicago.[/quote] I guess they'll have to find someone else to speak now, yeah?

Thanks Oba- Oh wait Trump authorized it nvm it's ok now. [B]EDIT[/B] I'm not putting a /sarcasm beside every of my posts so people will just have to deal.

[QUOTE=Megadave;52007602]Thanks Oba- Oh wait Trump authorized it nvm it's ok now.[/QUOTE] no? It's still shit no matter who authorized it, she clearly lied and now she's practically is getting away scot free while now being a "feminist hero" because she supported the women's march.

Ah yes, her. She also alleges that the Israelis extracted her confession using torture, arrested her father and tortured him as well, etc. [quote]In 1979, Odeh testified before a UN special committee in Geneva that as a 21-year-old university student, she was arrested from her home in Ramallah in the middle of the night by Israeli soldiers who “beat me without asking me a single question.” She was brought to an Israeli jail in Jerusalem where “they beat me with sticks, plastic sticks, and with a metal bar. They beat me on the head and I fainted as a result of these beatings. They woke me up several times by throwing cold water in my face and then started all over again.” In addition to this physical torture, Odeh also faced sexual torture. Her father, a U.S. citizen, was also arrested and beaten, “and once they brought in my father and tried to force him under blows to take off his clothes and have sexual relations with me.” Later, interrogators “tore my clothes off me while my hands were still tied behind my back. They threw me to the ground completely naked and the room was full of a dozen or so interrogators and soldiers who looked at me and laughed sarcastically as if they were looking at a comedy or a film. Obviously they started touching my body.” In her father’s presence, interrogators threatened to “violate me” and “tried to introduce a stick to break my maidenhead [hymen].” Shackled naked from the ceiling, interrogators “tied my legs, which were spread-eagled, and they started to beat me with their hands and also with cudgels.” Odeh testified that these tortures lasted 45 days. Finally, fearing “that my father might lose his life from one moment to the next” because of the tortures he was enduring, Odeh readied herself “to make the confession that they wanted, so that they would leave my father alone.” Her interrogators accused her of planting a bomb in a Jerusalem supermarket, an act which Odeh testified she “never carried out.” The interrogators “realized that perfectly well” because they brought her to the supermarket “and asked me to point out where I had put the explosive. Of course, I didn’t know the place and I said ‘where exactly do you want me to show you where I put this explosive charge?’ So they showed me where the explosion had taken place and I actually pointed out that place without being able to give any details of the operation. I didn’t even know how the operation had taken place.”[/quote] [url]http://www.snopes.com/2017/02/28/rasmea-odeh-conviction/[/url]

[QUOTE=matt000024;52006986]Good, we don't need terrorists in our country.[/QUOTE] seems like she has been reformed, certainly spending 10 years behind bars couldn't have changed her outlook on life, nope once a terrorist always a terrorist ya she's got other issues but the terrorism charge has been answered for

That totally means she's on the up and up now. I prefer reforming people but for fucks sakes, some of you guys know how to promote your ideals in the most unappealing ways.
