JEWISH PRO-BDS CONFERENCE HOSTING CONVICTED PALESTINIAN TERRORIST BEGINS FRIDAY

By Danielle Ziri Reprinted from The Jerusalem Post Jewish Voice for Peace’s national conference, which caused much controversy after the group announced it will be hosting convicted Palestinian terrorist Rasmea Odeh at the event, will open in Chicago on Friday. JVP, which “seeks an end to the Israeli occupation of the West Bank, Gaza Strip, and east Jerusalem,” vocally supports the Boycott, Divest and Sanction movement. The conference, which will run from Friday to Sunday, is aimed at crafting strategies to “resist the right-wing extremism emboldened by the leadership of President Trump and his mirror in Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and to build community for the long haul.” According to the conference schedule, Rasmea Odeh is scheduled to speak as part of the program’s “All In!” workshop, alongside three other panelists, including anti-Israel activist Linda Sarsour. Odeh, who is a member of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, was sentenced to life in prison in Israel for her role in two 1969 PFLP bombings in Jerusalem, which she confessed to, and for her membership in a terrorist organization. One of the attacks targeted a supermarket where two students – Leon Kanner, 21, and Eddie Joffe, 22 – were killed and nine other people were wounded. Odeh was released in a prisoner exchange in the 1980s. She later moved to the US, but in 2014 she was convicted by a US federal jury of immigration fraud, for concealing her arrest, conviction and imprisonment for the 1969 bombings. Last week, she agreed to plead guilty to this. Odeh said she didn’t disclose her past because of post-traumatic stress disorder from being tortured in prison.

How Can One Negotiate With Someone When They Immediately Reject The Conversation

Popular Front PFLP: Abbas acting alone Photo: AP When you start negotiations, you expect to have some rocky discussions, some disagreements over terms and hopefully an agreement that both parties can agree to. However, when your negotiating party condemns the process from the very beginning, you do not have a party with which you can do business.  So it goes in the Mideast.  Israel wants to negotiate however, it has no one party with whom they can talk and reach a mutually acceptable agreement. As the following article points out, hours before talks would start, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine.rejected the talks.  This is not a positive event. We pontificated in an earlier post that the Kerry's peace negotiations would fail, this article tells us that we were on the right track. Conservative Tom Palestinian party rejects Mideast peace talks Hours before talks are scheduled to begin, leftist Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine rejects negotiations, blaming US bias for past failures, opting for UN statehood AFP Published:  07.29.13, 19:28 / Israel News A major faction of the Palestine Liberation Organization rejected new peace talks with Israel just hours before their scheduled resumption in Washington on Monday after a three-year break. The leftist Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine said that talks' resumption was a unilateral move by Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas which did not have the backing of the PLO as a whole.

"It is an individual move," she said, in allusion to Abbas. "These talks will be presided over by the United States, just like Oslo 20 years ago," she said of the negotiations that led up to the 1993 Oslo Accords for limited self-rule. "We went to the UN precisely to take our case out of US hands." The last was a reference to the Palestinians successful bid for upgraded status at the United Nations last November, which was strongly opposed by both Israel and the United States. Washington was to host preliminary talks later on Monday between Palestinian chief negotiator Saeb Erakat and his Israeli counterpart, Justice MinisterTzipi Livni . The last round of direct negotiations between the two sides broke down in September 2010 just weeks after they started. US Secretary of State John Kerry visited the region six times in as many months to broker the resumption of negotiations.
