This story first broke over the weekend thanks to the Free Beacon and it is worth sharing widely.

You might recall that one of the women responsible for organizing the recent "women's strike" on March 8, is a convicted terrorist who claimed the lives of two Israeli students in the late 1960s. 

Now, Palestinian radical Rasmeah Odeh, along with her cohort Linda Sarsour, are slated to deliver speeches at an upcoming anti-Israel conference in Chicago. While this in and of itself comes as no surprise given the players involved, many are asking why the prestigious Hyatt Regency McCormick Place agreed to host a group of anti-Semites led by a murderer. 

Local Jewish community leaders have informed hotel heads about the checkered history of the conference participants and are calling on Hyatt to cancel the gathering. The Beacon's Adam Kredo expands: 

The Hyatt Regency McCormick Place, located in downtown Chicago, has agreed to host later this month a conference organized by Jewish Voice for Peace, or JVP, an anti-Zionist organization that has spearheaded efforts in favor of the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement, or BDS, which seeks to wage economic warfare on the Jewish state.

One of the featured speakers at the conference will be Rasmea Odeh, who was convicted by Israel of engaging in terrorist bombings that killed and injured many. Odeh is currently locked in a battle with the U.S. immigration system over allegations that she lied about her ties to terrorism on immigration forms.

Also scheduled to speak is Linda Sarsour, a prominent anti-Israel activist who has lashed out at the Jewish state’s leaders in derogatory terms and once appeared to praise child terrorists on social media.

The inclusions of these speakers, as well as JVP’s long record of anti-Israel activism—which includes allegations of anti-Semitism—has raised concern in the local Chicago Jewish community, where leaders have long faced protests and other efforts by JVP supporters.

Some in the Jewish community are pushing for the Hyatt hotel to cancel the event. Multiple requests to Hyatt hotel officials for comment on their decision to host JVP and a convicted terrorist went unanswered.

Jay Tcath, executive vice president of the Jewish United Fund of Metropolitan Chicago, told the Washington Free Beacon that many in the pro-Israel community have been victims of JVP’s anti-Israel campaign.

“We are all too aware of both players,” Tcath said, referring to JVP and Odeh.

According to Tcath, "the top leadership of Hyatt is both aware fully of JVP and Odeh and who they are" -- and that includes hotel heir J.B. Pritzker, who has remained deafeningly silent through it all. 

While Pritzker may not be involved in the day-to-day operations of the hotel chain, he is still a stakeholder and his voice could have lent weight to efforts to prevent terrorists and terrorist-sympathizers from being given a platform at the Hyatt Regency. 

Alas, it comes as no surprise though, considering the Democratic mega donor and aspiring gubernatorial candidate is classically self-loathing. As Tcath told the Beacon, Pritzker has long organized protests against pro-Israel efforts in the city. The hotel heir even organized "against a fundraiser to help the Jewish state during Hamas’s bombing campaign of Israeli citizens." 

Jewish or not Jewish. Man or woman. This is the true face of the Left. And as always, it proves ugly to the core.
