"We opposed Judge Borman not because of his Jewish faith, but because of his decades of support for the state of Israel," said Abudayyeh in a statement. "Rasmea overcame vicious torture by Israeli authorities while imprisoned in Palestine in the 70s. She has committed no crime and the government has no case. We need a judge willing to listen to a defense that puts Israel on trial for its crimes against Rasmea, and against all Palestinians."
Borman eventually removed himself from the case, countering his own decision from two weeks ago. He stated in the order of recusal that he is stepping down after discovering that his family had "a passive financial investment connection" to SuperSol, an Israeli supermarket that was bombed in 1969.
