In 2008, I wrote this about the origins of the state of #Israel: “Like most Americans…I knew nothing of the politics behind the creation of the state of Israel. (But I took notice when) Angry far-right Stern Gang sorts with attitude and muscle took over the Israeli political scene and put an end to the dreaming of their socialist colleagues. One has to wonder if the underworld wasn't also involved in that transition…I had been working closely with the Rainbow Coalition in the early and mid-eighties on racial justice and the political campaigns of the Rev. Jesse Jackson. A colleague who was also involved with me in that process, Alex Odeh, was murdered in an explosion, caused by a bomb planted by a Jewish terrorist in his office in Santa Ana, California. Blew his legs off and he bled out, right there in his office on 17th Street. The Jewish Defense League member that was implicated…fled to Israel has never been returned to justice in the United States.” #IsraelTerroristState https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alex_Odeh?wprov=sfti1#
