ONE of the organisers behind the next women’s march against President Donald Trump has been revealed as a Palestinian terrorist who took part in two deadly bombings in Israel.
Rasmea Yousef Odeh was convicted in 1970 for her role in the two terror attacks, one of which killed two students while they were out doing their food shopping.
After spending ten years behind bars, she then became a US citizen and even took up a job working as a navigator for Obamacare.
But in 2014, the activist was convicted for immigration fraud after it was revealed she failed to declare her role in the 1969 attacks on citizenship papers.
Now Odeh has been discovered to be the brains behind the Day Without A Woman protest due to go ahead on March 8.
Earlier this month eight women – including Odeh – penned a feminist manifesto, published in the Guardian, which called for a “new wave of militant feminist struggle.”
According to the comment piece, women should spend their day “blocking roads, bridges, and squares, abstaining from domestic, care and sex work” and “boycotting” businesses that support Donald Trump.
It read: “In our view, it is not enough to oppose Trump and his aggressively misogynistic, homophobic, transphobic and racist policies.
“We also need to target the ongoing neoliberal attack on social provision and labor rights.
“While Trump’s blatant misogyny was the immediate trigger for the huge response on 21 January, the attack on women (and all working people) long predates his administration.”

Organisers of the “international day of struggle” are calling it a protest “against male violence and in defence of reproductive rights.”
Odeh, who also goes by the names Rasmieh Steve and Rasmieh Joseph Steve, is allegedly a former PFLP terrorist who was sentenced to life in prison in Israel for her involvement in two terrorist bombings in Jerusalem in 1969.
The first attack in a crowded SuperSol supermarket killed two people and injured nine others, while four days later she was accused of bombing and damaging the British Consulate.
But the terrorist only spent ten years in prison before being released in a prisoner exchange in 1980 and emigrating to the US, where she now faces a retrial over her immigration fraud conviction after she claimed she was suffering from PTSD at the time she filled out the application.
She has also claimed she was sexually assaulted and tortured while in prison in Israel, and was coerced into confessing.
Others behind the lengthy piece include Angela Davis, a university professor who is also known as being a long-time supporter of the Black Panthers.
In 1972, she was acquitted following a trial after three guns she bought were used in a courtroom shootout that led to the death of a judge.
While a third author Tithi Bhattacharya previously praised Maoism in an essay, in which she noted supporters are “on the terrorist list of the US State Department, Canada, and the European Union,” which she called an indication that “Maoists are back in the news and by all accounts they are fighting against all the right people.”
A female terrorist from the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) is among the leaders of the next “women’s march” against President Donald Trump, The New York Post reports.
Anti-Trump activists are planning such a protest on March 8, but instead of a regular protest, organizers are planning a “general strike” called the Day without a Woman. In a manifesto published in The Guardian on February 6, the brains behind the movement are calling for a “new wave of militant feminist struggle.”
The document, according to The Post, was co-authored by, among others, Rasmea Yousef Odeh, a convicted terrorist.
Odeh was convicted in Israel of murdering two Hebrew University students in Jerusalem in 1969. She was sentenced to life in prison for planting the explosives used in two bombings, including a grocery store attack that killed two and wounded nine.
She was released from prison in a prisoner swap with the PFLP after serving ten years of her sentence.
Odeh managed to become an American citizen in 2004 by lying about her past, but was subsequently convicted in 2014 of immigration fraud for the falsehoods. However, she won the right to a new trial by claiming she had been suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) at the time she lied on her application.
According to the manifesto quoted by The Post, on March 8 women should spend their day “blocking roads, bridges, and squares, abstaining from domestic, care and sex work” and “boycotting” pro-Trump businesses. Also every woman is supposed to wear red in solidarity.
Odeh, in addition to leading the anti-Trump demonstrations, is also scheduled to speak at an upcoming conference in Chicago of the leftist organization Jewish Voice for Peace.
More than half of the scheduled speakers at the conference, scheduled to run from March 31 to April 2 are Muslim or Arab.
