Rasmieh Yousef Odeh, a convicted terrorist, was involved in deadly bombings in Israel in 1969. She was a member of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), designated as a terrorist organization in the US. After being sentenced to life imprisonment, she was released in a 1979 prisoner exchange, then immigrated to the US in 1994. Odeh was deported in 2017 for immigration fraud. Bowdoin College's Students for Justice in Palestine, co-founded by Zohran Mamdani, expressed support for Odeh, leading to criticism from political opponents who labeled it as antisemitism.
Rasmieh Yousef Odeh, 70, was convicted for a pair of bombings in Israel she helped execute in 1969 - one at a Supersol supermarket that killed two college students and a second at the British Consulate in the country.
Odeh helped carry out the heinous crimes under the flag of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), a US-designated terror group.
The terrorist was ordered deported in 2017 for lying about her involvement in the bombings on both her visa and US citizenship application.
Independent New York City mayoral candidate Jim Walden hit out at Mamdani on X for SJP's social media post in support of Odeh, saying it 'praised her as a victim' and calling it 'radical extremism and antisemitism.'
