(Jerusalem Post) Benjamin Weinthal - The German government canceled an event on Friday with convicted Palestinian terrorist Rasmea Odeh, who had murdered two Israeli students, following a strongly worded protest from U.S. Ambassador Richard Grenell that was prominently featured in German newspapers. Berlin's Interior Department revoked Odeh's visa on Friday and barred her from speaking. Grenell told Fox News on Thursday, "Some people plant the seeds of anti-Semitism, while others water it and help it grow. Offering a public speaking role to a Palestinian terrorist convicted of murder, terrorism and immigration fraud legitimizes anti-Semitism at a time when we should be condemning it." The U.S. government deported Odeh in 2017 for immigration fraud.
