Radical college group Mamdani co-founded wanted justice for convicted terrorist deported from US

The Bowdoin College chapter of the controversial group Students for Justice in Palestine, which was co-founded by prominent socialist and NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, supported a terrorist involved in fatal attacks in Israel, who was later expelled from the US due to immigration fraud.

Rasmieh Yousef Odeh, aged 70, was responsible for participating in two bombings in Israel in 1969 — an attack at a Supersol supermarket that resulted in the deaths of two college students, and another 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 Palestinian-Jordanian activist was given a life sentence in Israel in 1970, following her conviction, but was released in 1979 as part of a prisoner swap deal.

Odeh then arrived in the US from Jordan on an immigrant visa in 1994 and became a citizen in 2004.

The terrorist was ordered deported in 2017 for lying about her involvement in the bombings on both her visa and US citizenship application.

Still, in 2014, the year Mamdani graduated from Bowdoin College, SJP shared an article about her case from The Hill on Facebook, and crowed, “Justice for Rasmea Odeh!”

A Facebook account linked to Mamdani also “liked” the statement, which was viewed by The Post.

The upstart socialist helped launch the Bowdoin chapter of SJP during his time at the elite college.

The same group in 2013 also invited radical Lebanese-American speaker, As’ad AbuKhalil, to address the student body.

AbuKhalil has sensationally called Israel a bigger terror threat than Iran and boasted he was greatly influenced by a Palestinian leader with the nickname the “godfather of Middle Eastern terrorism.”

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.”

Remi Kanazi, an author and poet affiliated with SJP, also tweeted his support of Odeh in a 2014 post on X, writing, “Why is the Obama administration prosecuting torture victim Rasmea Odeh? Drop the charges: Write or call in TODAY,” he wrote with a link to an endtheoccupation.org article that has since been taken offline.

In her 2017 plea agreement, Odeh admitted lying about her criminal history and convictions in her US immigration applications, and that she knew it was against the law to provide false information to the US government.

“Had Odeh revealed the truth about her criminal history, as she was required to by law, she never would have been granted an immigrant visa, admitted to the United States, allowed to live here for the last 22 years or granted United States citizenship,” the plea read.

She was stripped of her citizenship, barred from the country for life and deported to Jordan.

Though Mamdani graduated from Bowdoin in spring 2014, the SJP chapter he founded has continued to engage in increasingly radical activism.

Earlier this year, the group occupied a campus building as part of a protest against the school’s investment practices and President Trump hinting at taking control of war-torn Gaza, the Bowdoin Orient wrote.

Meanwhile, Mamdani himself has raised eyebrows with several past statements and social media posts that appeared to be sympathetic to known terrorists.

In one resurfaced tweet, Mamdani appeared to defend al Qaeda menace Anwar al-Awalaki, who was later taken out in a drone strike approved by then-President Barack Obama.

In his days as a rapper, Mamdani praised the heads of the so-called “Holy Land Five,” the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development, an infamous nonprofit convicted of funneling more than $12 million to the terror group Hamas.

Mamdani’s camp did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment.
