Anti-Israel progressive activist Calla Walsh skated by with a plea deal after helping lead an attack on the Elbit Systems facility in Merrimack. Now, however, there’s a call for federal investigators to take a closer look.
“The facts are clear that Ms. Walsh has an animosity towards America, Israel, and the Jewish people. Her involvement in organizations that condone and promote terrorist organizations and their actions brings a heavy weight to her and her co-conspirators’ illegal actions,” wrote Houston Keene, head of the activist group Democracy Restored.
Keene, a former Fox News reporter, made the plea to Erin Creegan, U.S. Attorney for the District of New Hampshire. He wants Creegan to open a federal investigation into Walsh and her associates, arguing the state prosecution did not go far enough. Walsh, Sophie Ross, Bridget Shergalis, and Page Belanger each served two months in jail on misdemeanor convictions under the plea deal resolving their cases.
