Every day since March 2017 we have hoped to hear senior officials of the US @StateDept publicly call out Jordan and its leadership for failing to extradite the #SbarroBomber to Washington as the 1995 Jordan/US treaty requires. Instead through the years we get this sad mantra:

Though there's a $5M @StateDept reward on her head, none is needed to locate the fugitive. She's lived the life of a celebrity in Jordan since 2011, proudly taking credit for the bombing. Yet no senior US official challenged Jordan's failure during @KingAbdullah's July visit...

The fact that elected officials and civil servants are plainly reluctant to address the #AhlamTamimi scandal in public raises troubling questions about justice. And since they won't speak truth to power, what's become of the enquiring major media and their probing questions?

Sickening speeches from Jordanian lawmakers. Both a US ally and one of the most antisemitic states anywhere, Jordan gets massive US foreign aid (3rd largest recipient) even as it breaches the US/Jordan 1995 extradition treaty to keep the #SbarroBomber safe from US justice

In 1995 #Jordan's revered King Hussein signed a key extradition treaty with the US and then handed over Jordanian terrorists to the US on request. Now it illicitly refuses in the #AhlamTamimi case. Watch a Jordanian MP (at 1 min) insult "the Jews" for "disrespecting treaties".

Self-defeating US kid-gloves handling of #Jordan must change. @ADL's recent report on how Jordan teaches antisemitism to its children [adl.org/blog/antisemit…] got almost no media attention despite "Jordan’s importance as a pivotal state for Mideast security, stability".

Extradite Tamimi!
A July 2020 Request from Malki's Family
[Video]

Please share our call for #justice! Congress, senior US gov't officials, the media need to hear that years of inaction, of shielding #Jordan from its obligation to extradite the #SbarroBomber, are indefensible.
Extradite Tamimi!

Our petition urges Secretary of State @SecPompeo to apply all needed pressure now so that Jordan, after years of avoiding hard decisions, complies with its legal, moral and treaty obligations to the US in the #Tamimi extradition

The Jordanian fugitive whose latest @Twitter account we believe must be shut down Twitter-blocked us this morning. Not that we needed it but this makes clear the cryptic name of the account disguises the @FBIMostWanted killer behind it.

From Twitter, zero response to us so far.
Trying to shut down a child's killer's social media account is a small, maybe minor, step in a long, exhausting effort to see denied justice finally done. We're not cranks, extremists or fools. Please support us; we have powerful opponents.

Our thanks to @Twitter for this morning responding to requests and shutting down the latest iteration of the #SbarroBomber's social media presence.

Let's fix this. Jordan doesn't get enough credit for its promotion of one particular female, #SbarroBomber and @FBIMostWanted terrorist #AhlamTamimi. Her TV career and pan-Arab celebrity are all thanks to @JordanGov. (All three of the American lives she ended were female too.)
