Detroit – A federal judge with a history of service to the Jewish community won’t step down from a criminal case involving a Chicago Arab-American activist convicted of planting bombs at a Jerusalem market.

Judge Paul Borman says he’ll be fair in the case of Rasmieh Odeh, who’s charged with lying on immigration forms when she entered the U.S. She didn’t disclose that she was convicted for the 1969 bombing.
Defense attorney Michael Deutsch has questioned Borman’s ability to be impartial. In a 10-page response Thursday, the judge sharply criticized the effort as “irresponsible” and based on “careless and rank speculation.”
Borman says his Jewish heritage doesn’t interfere with his job.
Odeh is the 67-year-old associate director at the Arab American Action Network in Chicago. She’s also known as Rasmea Yousef.
The judge at the Nuremberg trials after WWII was also Jewish. The Nazi defense attorney tried the same garbage to have him recuse himself. He responded to the effect -its not about Jews but crimes against humanity. I didn’t hear it but heard about it from a teacher in 1968, so I don’t have the quote.
this is what thois country takes in,, future terror acts
Defense attorney Michael deutsch, sounds like a Jewish name, how can he be impartial in defending this poor innocent woman?
Why do they call her “activist”. She is a terrorist!!!
