Part 2 of our series investigating the case against Rasmieh Odeh, and
her supporters' efforts to get the case dropped, looks at the victims of
the 1969 Jerusalem supermarket bombing that led to Odeh's conviction in an
Israeli court.
Today's installment traces the life of Edward Joffe, one of the two
college students killed in the bombing. His brothers explain what prompted
the family's move from South Africa to Israel during the 1960s, and
describe Edward's hopes and dreams before his murder.
Rulings issued Monday mean that much of Odeh's
supporters' arguments – that Odeh's confession in the bombing was the
result of torture, that her case is a selective prosecution aimed at
hurting the Palestinian advocacy community – will not be allowed during her
immigration fraud scheduled to begin Nov. 4.
Her attorneys have asked for a continuance.
On Wednesday, we'll examine the immigration fraud case against Odeh. To
