In April 2015, Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullors told an audience at Harvard Law School that they should “end the imperialist project that&#8217;s called Israel.”
Speaking on a panel hosted by the Human Rights Program at Harvard, entitled &#8220;Globalizing Ferguson: Radicalized Policing and International Resistance,&#8221; Cullors stated:
<blockquote>I am also the co-founder of Black Lives Matter … What I will say, what’s important, I think, in this conversation around trans-national solidarity is that it’s simple. We should be building relationships with people across the world. If we believe we are part of the human family, then we need to push ourselves in particular ways to see the connections always. The other thing I’ll say is Palestine is our generation’s South Africa, and if we don&#8217;t step up boldly and courageously to end the imperialist project that&#8217;s called Israel, we&#8217;re doomed.</blockquote>
Cullors then referenced the recent trip she had made with a group called “Dream Defenders” to Israel, claiming, “Nothing would’ve prepared me for the level of militarization and the level of violence that we would witness”:
<blockquote>And I think that I had learned about Palestine for a long time, I’d known about it, been wanting to travel, and I was really, really grateful when the Dream Defenders asked me to come on the delegation. But nothing would’ve prepared me for the level of militarization and the level of violence that we would witness those ten days inside of Palestine. Nothing would have prepared me for the ways in which we witnessed people’s terror. People live in terror on a daily basis. And nothing would have prepared me for how much clarity I would have on why we have to be a part of Palestinian solidarity.</blockquote>
Cullors made no reference to the terrorist attacks that have targeted Israel for decades, including the Second Intifada, during which over 1100 Israelis were murdered, as reported <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/watch-activists-for-palestinians-threaten-your-college-campus-will-be-scene-of-intifadas">here</a>.
As <a href="https://www.camera.org/article/the-blm-movement-and-antisemitism/">CAMERA reported</a> in 2020: Dream Defenders was a BLM-affiliated group that brought black activists to meet BDS (Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions) co-founder Omar Barghouti and other radical anti-Israel activists. CAMERA noted of Dream Defenders:
<blockquote>One of the co-founders of the group was a Palestinian-American activist by the name of Ahmad Abuznaid whose own focus was to create a nexus between Palestinian grievances and those of African Americans and to link the emerging BLM movement with BDS. … By December 2014, Ahmad Abuznaid stepped up his efforts by recruiting prominent black activists to join a “Delegation to Palestine,” the goal of which, he stated, was: &#8220;to allow for the group members to experience and see first-hand the occupation, ethnic cleansing and brutality Israel has levied against Palestinians, but also to build real relationships with those on the ground leading the fight for liberation.&#8221;</blockquote>
During the December 2014 trip, CAMERA reported, “Cullors organized a flashmob calling for BDS, performed by activists and leaders of various groups that view themselves as part of the BLM movement (including Tef Poe, Phillip Agnew aka Umi Selah, Aja Monet, the journalist Marc Lamont Hill, and others). They publicized a <a href="https://vimeo.com/116675694">video</a> they made of their BDS flashmob online.”
Cullors, who declared in the 2014 video that “We are going to have a flashmob,” continued during the 2015 panel:
<blockquote>We can have a whole conversation about the settlements that we witnessed, the stories of murder and death at the hands of Israelis and Zionists, and I think the biggest piece, for me, coming back home, was what do we do here, right? What’s our work look like here, in relationship to Palestine? And what does the Black Lives Matter movement have to do with Palestine? I know a lot of people ask that. A lot of black people asked that while we were there, right? </blockquote>
<blockquote>We had great responses, people were super-excited, and then we also had black people being like, “Why aren’t you home?” I think like there’s like this deep gap in the black community specifically among black Americans, because we can’t assume all black people in the United States are American. There’s a gap that we must deal with our issues at home, as if our issues at home have nothing to do with issues abroad.
And so we understood that coming back we had to do a lot of education about why we chose to make this trip, why it was important to us and why it was actually crucial to this conversation around the Black Lives Matter movement. When we talk about militarization, when we talk about the ways in which the U.S. government funds, literally funds the state of Israel, we’re complicit in that unless we’re fighting it actively, unless we’re making those connections here inside of this country. And so it was an honor to go on that trip and being back home, a lot of us, we’ve been talking to colleges and high schools, talking about our trip.</blockquote>
Then Cullors segued to the terrorist Rasmeah Odeh.
<blockquote>Two things I think people should really be thinking about in relationship to the state of Israel and Palestinian solidarity: One is BDS, boycott, divestment, sanction, so if folks aren’t on that tip, please Google it, super-simple, it’s a great website, and the second is Rasmea Odeh’s case. Rasmea lives in Chicago, and it’s a very long story, but essentially the U.S. government is trying to deport her back to Israel, where she was tortured as a prisoner inside of Israel. And so I would really push this audience, whether it’s the law school or students to develop some sort of Rasmea Odeh solidarity team to really, I think this summer, we need to, like get on it as a team. The media has essentially iced out everybody from talking about her case and so we have our own media, it’s called social media. I think we need to be diligent about uplifting her case.</blockquote>
<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/day-without-woman-organizer-was-murderous-hank-berrien">The Daily Wire</a> noted in a story about Odeh being one of the organizers of the 2017 Women’s March:
<blockquote>[Odeh] bombed a supermarket in Jerusalem in 1969, killing two <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4261654/Illegal-immigrant-terrorist-organize-women-s-strike.html">Hebrew university students</a>, Leon Kanner, 21, and Edward Joffe, 22, who were grocery shopping … Nine other people were injured in the explosion. Rasmea Odeh … spent ten years in prison, then lied to become a U.S. citizen in 2004. On Nov. 10, 2014, a federal jury in Detroit <a href="http://www.detroitnews.com/story/opinion/2014/12/05/rasmea-odeh-victim/19913157/">pronounced her guilty</a> for illegally procuring naturalization by falsely answering questions as to whether she &#8220;EVER&#8221; had been convicted or imprisoned. After she was convicted of immigration fraud three years ago, Odeh got a new trial claiming PTSD caused her to lie. In addition, she is an <a href="http://dailycaller.com/2017/02/09/feminist-darling-will-speak-at-event-with-convicted-palestinian-terrorist-and-immigration-fraudster/#ixzz4ZoXBxHDX">alleged former member</a> of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, a designated terrorist group, and was convicted for her role in the bombing of a British consulate. … an observer from the International Red Cross was present for her entire six-month Israeli trial, and stated afterward that the Israeli military court &#8220;had given the accused every chance of defending themselves, and the trial was – in his opinion – a fair trial.&#8221;</blockquote>

This context was left out of Cullors&#8217; comments, as was any mention of the murders of Israelis by Palestinians in the so-called &#8220;settlements&#8221; located in Judea and Samaria, such as the Fogel family, which was brutally slaughtered in their home in 2012 by two Palestinian terrorists, including the decapitation of a three-month-old infant.

BLM Co-Founder Called For An End To Israel

Patrice Cullors

Rasmea Odeh

After a strongly worded statement from United States Ambassador to Germany, Richard Grenell, the German government has disallowed a planned anti-Semitic &#8220;Boycott, Divestment, Sanction&#8221; event in Berlin, and expelled its headline speaker, convicted Palestinian terrorist Rasmea Odeh.
<a href="https://www.jpost.com/Arab-Israeli-Conflict/Germany-slated-to-allow-Palestinian-terrorist-to-speak-in-Berlin-583322">The Jerusalem Post reports</a> that the German government and the Berlin Department for the Interior responded quickly to international outcy following the announcement that Odeh was set to speak at a &#8220;Palestinian Women in the Liberation Struggle&#8221; in the country&#8217;s capital city, even after initially pledging to allow the event to go forward.
Odeh, a member of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), was the mastermind and lead bomber in an attack on a Jewish grocery store in Israel in 1969 which left two Hebrew University students dead and scores injured. She was convicted and jailed for a decade before being released in a prisoner exchange. Eventually, she ended up in the United States. She was finally deported back to her home country of Jordan in 2017, after U.S. authorities discovered she had lied about her terrorism convictions on her immigration application.
The elderly Odeh remains a hero to anti-Israel activists across the globe, and has fans in both Congresswoman Rashida Tliab (D-MI) and Women&#8217;s March leader Linda Sarsour, <a href="https://legalinsurrection.com/2019/03/germany-to-deport-palestinian-terrorist-rasmea-odeh-at-urging-of-u-s-ambassador-richard-grenell/">according to William Jacobson at Legal Insurrection</a>. No surprise, both women have been known to express anti-Semitic views.
Grenell petitioned the German government on behalf of the Trump administration to boot Odeh when the administration discovered Germany&#8217;s interior minister planned to allow Odeh to speak at the BDS event because Germany does not explicitly prohibit the PFLP, even though both Germany and the European Union consider the group a terrorist organization.
&#8220;The rise of anti-Semitism around the world is very troubling,&#8221; Grenell <a href="https://freebeacon.com/national-security/outrage-after-germany-permits-convicted-terrorist-entry-to-speak/">told Fox News in an interview late last week</a>, according to The Washington Free Beacon. &#8220;Some people plant the seeds of anti-Semitism while others water it and help it grow. Offering a public speaking role to a Palestinian terrorist convicted of murder, terrorism and immigration fraud legitimizes anti-Semitism at a time when we should be condemning it. I join the chorus of others who have raised their voices in Berlin standing against anti-Semitism no matter where it&#8217;s found.&#8221;
He wasn&#8217;t alone. As soon as Germans found out about Odeh&#8217;s scheduled appearance, they protested. They were still present when Berlin police approached Odeh and told her she was being sent back to Jordan, according to the <a href="https://berlinspectator.com/2019/03/15/germany-to-deport-palestinian-terrorist-rasmea-odeh/">Berlin Spectator</a>.
&#8220;Before 6:00 p.m., police officers approached Rasmea Odeh, confiscated her passport and instructed her to come to the foreigners&#8217; registration office on Monday. She might be deported to Jordan on the same day. The terrorist was also told not to participate in any events of the kind she was going to attend,&#8221; the Spectator reported.
Berlin&#8217;s mayor seemed happy about the development. Berlin, he told media, is a &#8220;cosmopolitan and tolerant city that does not give room to extremist propaganda. Anti-Israeli and anti-Semitic arguments wrapped in liberation rhetoric have no place here. I&#8217;m glad we found a way to stop this incitement.&#8221;

Germany Deports Convicted Palestinian Terrorist Rasmea Odeh, Cancels BDS Event After Outcry

Anti-Semitism

Germany

A group affiliated with the Women&#8217;s March decided Thursday to honor now-deported Palestinian terrorist Rasmea Odeh on Twitter, claiming Odeh&#8217;s recent immigration troubles were the result of a &#8220;broken system,&#8221; and not because Odeh murdered two people and lied about it to American immigration.
[[{&#8220;fid&#8221;:&#8221;25082&#8243;,&#8221;view_mode&#8221;:&#8221;default&#8221;,&#8221;fields&#8221;:{&#8220;format&#8221;:&#8221;default&#8221;,&#8221;field_file_image_alt_text[und][0][value]&#8221;:false,&#8221;field_file_image_title_text[und][0][value]&#8221;:false},&#8221;type&#8221;:&#8221;media&#8221;,&#8221;field_deltas&#8221;:{&#8220;1&#8221;:{&#8220;format&#8221;:&#8221;default&#8221;,&#8221;field_file_image_alt_text[und][0][value]&#8221;:false,&#8221;field_file_image_title_text[und][0][value]&#8221;:false}},&#8221;attributes&#8221;:{&#8220;class&#8221;:&#8221;media-element file-default&#8221;,&#8221;data-delta&#8221;:&#8221;1&#8243;}}]]
The Tweet links back to an equally<a href="http://chicago.suntimes.com/news/political-activist-rasmea-odeh-a-symbol-of-deportations-many-faces/"> abysmal opinion piece in the Chicago Sun-Times</a>, which calls Odeh an &#8220;activist&#8221; and praises her for her work &#8220;resisting&#8221; Donald Trump as part of the Women&#8217;s March team of organizers (Odeh, it seems, was part of the group responsible for the failed &#8220;Day Without a Woman&#8221; campaign). That piece, also, glosses over Odeh&#8217;s past, claiming that she was &#8220;extorted&#8221; into confessing that she&#8217;d taken part in a bombing campaign that left two young men dead.
The now-70-year-old Odeh was convicted in 1969 of being part of a plot to bomb an Israeli supermarket. Her group hid small bombs in boxes of candy, hoping to maximize their impact, specifically targeting children. The group&#8217;s bombs killed two Hebrew University students.
Odeh served ten years in prison before she was released in a prisoner exchange. She emigrated to the U.S. but &#8220;forgot&#8221; to tell immigration officials that she&#8217;d served time for terrorism. In April, an immigration court marked Odeh for punishment: she could serve time in jail for lying to officials, or be deported. She chose deportation to Jordan.
The system isn&#8217;t &#8220;broken;&#8221; it worked exactly as it&#8217;s supposed to.
But, apparently, that&#8217;s nothing to the Women&#8217;s March, which claims to speak for all women in their opposition to the Trump &#8220;Regime.&#8221; The group, which hosted a single successful event back in January, has since been unable to hide the radical &#8220;activists&#8221; who make up its steering committee, like Linda Sarsour &#8212; and the radical activist women they admire, like convicted murderer (sensing a theme here), Assata Shakur.

Women’s March Group Praises Terrorist Rasmea Odeh, Calls Deportation A Symptom Of ‘Broken System’

Feminism

Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP), an <a href="https://canarymission.org/organizations/jvp/">anti-Semitic group</a> masquerading as a pacifist organization, wrote a press statement on March 23 defending Rasmea Odeh, a convicted Palestinian-Arab terrorist who <a href="http://legalinsurrection.com/2016/12/new-video-surfaces-implicating-rasmea-odeh-in-deadly-supermarket-bombing/">slaughtered two Jews</a> in a Jerusalem supermarket bombing in 1969. Odeh, who <a href="http://legalinsurrection.com/2016/12/feds-expand-immigration-fraud-indictment-of-convicted-terrorist-rasmea-odeh/">lied</a> to U.S. immigration authorities about her conviction and imprisonment in Israel for the bombing, will be <a href="http://www.freep.com/story/news/2017/03/23/woman-accused-terror-deported-under-plea-deal-no-jail-time/99560890/">deported</a> back to Jordan instead of facing prison time for committing fraud.
In response to her imminent deportation, JVP wrote the following <a href="https://jewishvoiceforpeace.org/rasmea-odeh-wont-face-fair-trial-u-s-court/">statement</a>:
<blockquote>
When a leader like Rasmea Odeh who fights for justice chooses to leave a fight, she knows the game is rigged.
Rasmea is leaving the U.S. court system, weighed down by the ever-present shadow of Israeli military regime which has already punished and tortured her.
Does Rasmea, Palestinian leader and seeker of justice, have a real chance for a fair trial in the current political climate and courts?
In the context of a Justice Department led by racist attorney general Jeff Sessions, a prosecutor with a record of demonizing Rasmea and her supporters, and a new indictment that turns her immigration trial into a repeat of the false charges of terrorism against her, Rasmea has made the difficult decision to leave the home and community she has built in the U.S. over the last 20 years.
</blockquote>
JVP not only defends Odeh over the Justice Department rightfully pursuing the immigration fraud case against her, but it also labels her a freedom fighter and a &#8220;seeker of justice.&#8221; It blames the &#8220;racist&#8221; Jeff Sessions for calling for her deportation based off &#8220;false charges of terrorism&#8221; against her. However, former Palestinian-Arab terrorist Aisha Odeh (no relation) implicated Rasmea in the same supermarket bombing that she was arrested, convicted, and imprisoned for.
<iframe loading="lazy" allowfullscreen frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/kfGhHu6VYlE" width="560"></iframe>
Jewish Voice for Peace also invited Rasmea Odeh as a <a href="https://www.algemeiner.com/2017/02/06/jewish-voice-for-peace-host-convicted-palestinian-terrorist-rasmea-odeh-during-upcoming-national-conference/">speaker</a> at its conference, which is scheduled to take place from March 31 to April 2. JVP has a long history of anti-Semitic activity and slandering Israel. Members of Boston University&#8217;s Students for Justice in Palestine <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/elliott-hamilton/when-antisemites-use-jews_b_8951792.html">invited</a> JVP activists to campus in a failed attempt to separate Jewish identity from Zionism, the movement of self-determination of the Jewish people in their indigenous homeland of Judea. JVP <a href="https://jewishvoiceforpeace.org/boycott-divestment-and-sanctions/jvp-supports-the-bds-movement/">endorses</a> the anti-Semitic Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement against Israel. Even the left-leaning Anti-Defamation League <a href="https://www.adl.org/sites/default/files/documents/assets/pdf/israel-international/israel--middle-east/adl-report-jewish-voice-for-peace.pdf">states</a> the following about JVP:
<blockquote>
JVP uses its Jewish identity to shield the anti-Israel movement from allegations of anti-Semitism and to provide the movement with a veneer of legitimacy. On its website, JVP recognizes its role as such, noting that the group&#8217;s Jewish nature gives it a &#8220;particular legitimacy in voicing an alternative view of American and Israeli actions and policies&#8221; and the ability to distinguish &#8220;between real anti-Semitism and the cynical manipulation of that issue.&#8221;
</blockquote>
Openly defending a Jew-killing terrorist is only the latest feather in JVP&#8217;s anti-Semitic cap.

A murderous Palestinian woman who bombed a supermarket in Jerusalem in 1969, killing two <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4261654/Illegal-immigrant-terrorist-organize-women-s-strike.html">Hebrew university students</a>, Leon Kanner, 21, and Edward Joffe, 22, who were grocery shopping, that&#8217;s who. Nine other people were injured in the explosion.
Rasmea Odeh, who is one of the organizers of &#8220;A Day Without A Woman,&#8221; spent ten years in prison, then lied to become a U.S. citizen in 2004. On Nov. 10, 2014, a federal jury in Detroit <a href="http://www.detroitnews.com/story/opinion/2014/12/05/rasmea-odeh-victim/19913157/">pronounced her guilty</a> for illegally procuring naturalization by falsely answering questions as to whether she &#8220;EVER&#8221; had been convicted or imprisoned.
After she was convicted of immigration fraud three years ago, Odeh got a new trial claiming PTSD caused her to lie. In addition, she is an <a href="http://dailycaller.com/2017/02/09/feminist-darling-will-speak-at-event-with-convicted-palestinian-terrorist-and-immigration-fraudster/#ixzz4ZoXBxHDX">alleged former member</a> of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, a designated terrorist group, and was convicted for her role in the bombing of a British consulate.
Here&#8217;s how a <a href="http://justice4rasmea.org/about/">website</a> defending her limns her:
<blockquote>
Rasmea is a community icon who overcame vicious torture by Israeli authorities while imprisoned in Palestine in the 1970s, and an example for the millions of Palestinians who have not given up organizing for their rights of liberation, equality, and return.
</blockquote>
Yet an observer from the International Red Cross was present for her entire six-month Israeli trial, and stated afterward that the Israeli military court &#8220;had given the accused every chance of defending themselves, and the trial was &#8211; in his opinion &#8211; a fair trial.&#8221; 
For a comprehensive look at the background of the bombing and its aftermath, see <a href="http://legalinsurrection.com/2014/11/rasmea-odeh-rightly-convicted-of-israeli-supermarket-bombing-and-u-s-immigration-fraud/">here</a>.
If there was any doubt remaining as to how much the Left hates Israel, it has certainly been shredded by their embrace of a murderous terrorist.
