asmieh Odeh, a Palestinian
woman who conceived of and
led a deadly 1969 Jerusalem
bombing, has had her U.S. citizenship
revoked and will serve 18 months in
an American prison
for naturalizaation
fraud. After her jail
time, she will be
deported to Jordan.
Prosecutors had
asked for her to
serve five to seven
Rasmieh Odeh years. Her defense
maintains even her
18-month sentence in prison is "unjust."
At her sentencing hearing in federal
court in Downtown Detroit on March
12, both the courtroom and media
overflow rooms were filled to capacity
with more than 100 supporters from
the larger Arab American community.
Odeh never would have been allowed
into the United States and never would
have been naturalized as an American
citizen had immigration officials
known about the 10 years she spent
in Israeli prisons for helping bomb
the Jerusalem supermarket, killing
two Hebrew University students. But
Odeh, 67, failed to disclose that history,
checking "no" on her immigration and
naturalization applications to questions
that asked if she had ever been arrested,
convicted or imprisoned.
Those false answers allowed her to
live an idyllic life in America for 20
years. Her lies ultimately caught up
with her, and prosecutors initiated
an investigation and prosecution that
resulted in her conviction on one count
of naturalization fraud last November.
The Investigative Project on
Terrorism exposed Odeh's terrorist
history and spin strategy in a five-part
video series, "Spinning a Terrorist Into
a Victim:'
U.S. District Judge Gershwin A.
Drain said that Odeh's case was about
"lying under oath" but had been "politi-
cized" to make the Palestinian-Israeli
conflict the "rallying point to engender
sympathy:'
Regular naturalization fraud guide-
lines, in this case, recommend that
Odeh serve 15-21 months in prison,
Assistant U.S. Attorney Jonathan Tukel
had asked for five to seven years, saying
the original guideline range would fail
to deter others to disclose their terrorist
backgrounds.
