1. While the US deports former terrorists
Sam ,   PT   (05.18.14)
they want Israel to release them from jail. Israel should release them from jail and send them off to Washington.
2. A bit of clarification
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (05.18.14)
A felony conviction in a foreign country is not necessarily a basis for denial of entry to the United States; nor is it necessarily a basis for denial of citizenship. LYING about it -- i.e., failing to disclose the fact -- is ALWAYS a bar to entry ergo, to citizenship. Odeh will be stripped of her United States citizenship and deported. If deported to Israel, despite her release in a prisoner swap, she could be made to finish the balance of her sentence. She will, in all likelihood, be deported to Jordan. She's a West Banker, which makes her a Jordanian citizen. Jordan cannot refuse. Personally, I could care less where she goes. Age and passage of time are not mitigation. The United States has cheerfully stripped of citizenship and deported Nazi war criminals who were far older than she. Not for what they did, but for having lied about it under oath. Lying by omission on your application for entry to the Untied States and, of course, for citizenship, by failing to correctly answer a direct question, and then subsequently signing that portion of the application whereby you are asked to affirm that you have answered all questions correctly constitutes lying under oath.
3. Deport her to Norway
David ,   On this planet   (05.18.14)
She will be given a Nobel peace price
4. To: Heather
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (05.18.14)
Only two choices (unless a third country steps up to offer to take her). Jordan, because she is a Jordanian citizen, and Israel, the country in which she committed her crime. Keep in mind that being released in a prisoner exchange is not a bar to re-arrest. She can be arrested in Israel and forced to serve the balance of her sentence. Probably not worth it, though. By the way, even if a third country offers to take her in, should Israel decide to re-arrest her for her crime, which was committed on Israeli soil, Israel would have the dominant claim.
5. Biden wants Israel to release more of those
ghostq   (05.18.14)
so they can immigrate to the USA. Forcing Israel to release terrorists for peace talks the palis try to anulled can hurt you amerikans in return.
6. The dream of any Palestinian refugee
Raphael ,   Netanya   (05.18.14)
Is to operate a kebab booth in Detroit while claiming "right of return".
7. lies
aaron ,   toronto,canada   (05.18.14)
She didn't do anything wrong, it's written in the quran that one should lie to infidels thus she honored the quran, what's wrong with that? One cannot be deported on religious grounds can they? NOW GET THE F**K OUT AND GO LIVE WITH YOUR MURDEROUS PIG BROTHERS IN GAZA.
8. Good! Back to the land of sand with ya, aging bomber babe
Cameron ,   USA   (05.18.14)
Don't need crap like that drifting in.
9. So evil-looking
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (05.19.14)
She could be Helen Thomas' daughter. The ugliness in her soul just comes shining through.
10. A Jordanian then
Jhan   (05.18.14)
Jews and Arabs are both Palestinians, if they are from Palestine. The use of the term "Palestinian" to designate an Arab only is incorrect.
11. To: Raphael at No. 6
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (05.18.14)
Or becoming a human rights activist, while cheerfully ignoring the fact that the Jews that one has murdered had human rights, too.
12. "Arab American Action Network"?Isn't she "Palestinian"?Speak
PETER SM ,   MELBOURNE AUSTRALIA   (05.18.14)
"Palestinian"?
13. Now we do see,
> Illuminates at work   (05.18.14)
what to think about the the "Intel'" NSA,CIA,FBI -clerks.. perfect in re-establishing fascism /not only in ukraine ,but europe, africa, arab countries/, preparing,arranging and making WARS iraq, spring...ukraine, killing,destroying and cooking all that mixtures to point a few;BUT NOT BEING ABLE to check a full record of criminals ;and more: they made it able that this criminal could get citizenship (as CIA did with the Nazis,what they needed against former allies! and against all other ideas of societies), that this criminal like other criminals got all rights,free acting,free going and even a "award". May be she was simply at the payroll of the above.. ?!
14. Of course she'll come to Israel
(05.18.14)
In Jordan, she'll be another dime-a-dozen woman wearing a veil. In Israel, she will be paid huge amounts of money to lecture to Leftists, Amos Oz will send her autographed copies of his books and Netanyahu will apologize for any inconvenience she suffers.
15. The legal brains!
(05.18.14)
Definately something for Sarah B. USA/Israel to shout about. Yea...she knows where to send them... Jordan.
16. You can run...
Ginette Golden ,   Toronto, Canada   (05.18.14)
But you can't hide BITCH! Icon or no icon, there are only two places she can be deported. 1) Jordan: where she crawled back from and 2) Israel: where she will finish her sentence. However the second option of moving back to "jail-house-Israel" makes me want to puke in advance thinking she will be released in another "freaking good will gesture"... I get physically sick when Israel makes concessions to terrorists while destroying Jewish homes in the process!
17. To: No. 10
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (05.19.14)
No, only the Jews are Palestinians. If you take a look at Ottoman census records going back hundreds of years, you will see that Jews are always exclusively referred to as "Palestinian." Arabs are referred to only as "Arab" or "Bedouin." The British maintained that distinction during the mandate era. The "Palestinians" co-opted that identity from the Jewish people in the mid-1960s. They are not indigenous to the region known as Palestine, the overwhelming majority having been herded westward from Saudi Arabia and Mesopotamia by the British in order to preserve British control over the vast quantities of petroleum that had been discovered. There were some Arabs who came to Palestine once the Jews of the First and Second Aliyot had started to reclaim the barren land and drain the malarial swamps, and to build cities and thriving communities. The Arabs were attracted by the prospect of theft. A lot of Jewish settlements fell victim to marauding Bedouins on quite a few occasions. Sad, but true. The only true Palestinians are the Jews. That's the bottom line. Stealing an identity, as the Arabs have done, does not make it yours.
18. To: No. 15
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (05.19.14)
Did you miss this? "Odeh, who is in her 60s, entered the US from Jordan in 1995 ..." She's a West Bank Arab, thus holds Jordanian citizenship. Jordan is very definitely an option; in point of fact, the country of citizenship of an individual cannot refuse to accept a deportee who holds that citizenship. Another possibility would be deporting her to Israel, where she can spend what remains of her miserable existence in an Israeli prison as a security prisoner. Frankly, the more I think about it, the more attractive the latter option becomes. She's pure, unadulterated filth.
19. Obama is very sorry that he cannot prevent this deportation
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (05.19.14)
20. Excuse me but, there is NO palestine
BUILD BABY BUILD !!!   (05.20.14)
