Odeh and the Appropriation of Jewishness by Anti-Trump Antisemites
Breitbart ^ | 4-1-17 | Joel B. Pollak

Posted on 04/03/2017 11:00:22 AM PDT by SJackson

On Sunday, convicted Palestinian terrorist Rasmea Odeh, a key organizer of anti-Trump marches who was responsible for the murder of two Israelis and lied her way into the United States, gave a defiant address to a Chicago conference. Odeh will soon leave the U.S. after filing a guilty plea to avoid prison under an agreement with the Department of Justice, which she claims is too “racist” under Attorney General Jeff Sessions to bother resisting in open court.

The most shocking aspect of the Odeh saga is not that the mainstream Arab-American community backed her in her bizarre fight. Nor is it the fact that she has been at the center of the anti-Trump protests over the last several weeks, joining other Palestinian radicals such as media darling Linda Sarsour. And it is almost to be expected that Odeh had worked at the Arab American Action Network, with ties to Barack Obama’s Chicago crony, radical Rashid Khalidi.

Notably, the media have been silent in demanding that the anti-Trump movement distance themselves from the rank antisemitism and actual terrorism at the forefront of their activism and events. The hypocrisy is, sadly, now routine.

No — the most stunning aspect is that Odeh’s cause was supported by left-wing Jews.

Odeh gave her valediction — in which she railed against Trump and “Zionists,” as the guest of a group calling itself “Jewish Voices for Peace” (JVP). The group rejected an effort by pro-Israel Jews to hold a memorial for Odeh’s victims, Edward Jaffe and Leon Kanner. (The Washington Times notes that the pro-Israel activists rented a room at the hotel and held a memorial anyway.)

Jews on the left are full of self loathing and self hate. Its something that also afflicts white men on the left. Thankfully its not contagious.

Includes Jews who are mostly leftists as opposed to Jews who are mostly Jewish.

These are the Sorosite Jews, eager to collaborate with those who would kill them.

Fwiw , the ADL considers “Jewish voices for peace” an antisemetic group.
