I'm speaking at a @CAMERAorg Webinar Feb 11 at 1pm ET on terror and my family's quest for justice. Our daughter Malki was murdered at 15 in the #PalArab terror attack on a pizzeria. Appalling to me how the bomber's freedom and fame are ignored. To register us02web.zoom.us/webinar/regist…
This is her. Jordan's government and diplomats don't want you to know how widely #AhlamTamimi is adored by Jordanian society. The reason why has to do with dead Jewish children like mine. The media suppress this for reasons I think I can explain.
If only my wife and I could compel the many politicians, diplomats, editors, commentators, human rights 'champions' and #justice 'heroes' who suppress the shabby story of this woman's freedom to look her evil in the face: #AhlamTamimi, our child's free-as-a-bird killer
The start of that clip shows my child's killer working her night job hours after bombing a Jerusalem pizzeria. Probably the first TV newsreader ever to blandly report a mass-victim crime that she herself perpetrated. An @FBIMostWanted, Hashemite #Jordan keeps her safe today.

Like me, you may be offended or at least puzzled by views you sometimes see slipped into news reports. Could be spin; maybe bias. But only word captures how the mainstream news industry covers Jordan keeping a confessed bomber shielded from US justice.

The word is "silent".
This video clip has never been included in any mainstream news report: #AhlamTamimi, the Jordanian woman who says openly, for the record, that she bombed the Jerusalem #Sbarro pizzeria and calls it "my operation". Watch the smile as she tells it.
Hashemite Jordan could have denounced her, arrested her, tried her on terrorism charges, handed her to US law enforcement (as the treaty demands). Instead they did this: they let #AhlamTamimi host her own terror-promoting TV show, filmed weekly in Jordan's capital, for 5 years!

I sometimes need to say this to others so I can make sense of it to myself: This woman, alive, happy, protected in ways most people wouldn't believe by a government that's on fine terms with most countries, is famous because she murdered my 15 year old daughter and 14 others.

She will stay famous, free, upbeat and adored in #Jordan where she lives until my wife and I and our friends manage to find the way to have the US government raise its voice and tell Jordan this is sickening and under the treaty she has to be sent to Washington this afternoon

 We've pushed for this since the US unsealed terror charges against this woman (who is a Hamas agent) in March 2017. Few people ever argue back at bereaved parents like us. Instead, as the news industry and too many officials and lawmakers do, they just stare.

And do nothing.

The Sep'19 tweet below was just RTed by someone. I'm the father of a child murdered by this famed Jordanian terrorist. Every time I or friends reach out to Jordanian officials, they stay silent. The strategy makes sense for them since the news industry pays no attention.

That's a shabby thing. On one hand, for the US she's one of only two women on the @FBIMostWanted terrorist list with a $5M reward on her head since 2018. On the other, Jordan shelters her, lets her live a free, unrestricted life in its capital. She's never been in hiding.

And the news industry? Those unstoppable investigative journalists? All the moralizing about terror, justice, lives that matter? Did you ever see a mainstream news report about this confessed bomber? A celebrity with her own TV show for years? The incredible life she lives?

The dignity that comes from massacring a pizzeria filled with children.
Have just watched US Senate hearing into the appointment of an ambassador to Amman.

Guess how much attention the world's most wanted female fugitive living free in the capital of a strategic ally and Jordan's most important institutions shielding her from @TheJusticeDept got.
Simply beyond comprehension that the woman at the top of this thread, who boasts - boasts! - of killing many children including mine, evades US justice and lives like a queen in #Jordan because the US sees pursuing her as destabilizing its Jordanian ally.

With due respect to all the relevant parties, that doesn't strike me as the right approach. @TheJusticeDept and @StateDept have tried since 2013 to persuade @JordanGov, which is party to an active extradition treaty with the US, to honor its obligations. Jordan's highest court

 declared in March 2017, less than a week after the charges against #AhlamTamimi were unsealed in Washington, that the treaty signed by the present king's father and the Clinton Administration was invalid on constitutional grounds. And had been invalid since day one!

 The US says it doesn't agree [thisongoingwar.blogspot.com/2019/11/03-nov…]. The confessed #Sbarro bomber, meanwhile, instead of preparing herself to face federal charges in Washington, lives the life of a privileged celebrity in Jordan. The kingdom enabled her to host a terror-inciting TV show

 Things to know about #Jordan:
- Depends on US financial, security support
- Has extradited to US under 1995 treaty whenever asked
- Keeps the savage in clip below safe from the Feds on the unlikely grounds the treaty is unconstitutional.
- US says it's valid
Media? Crickets.
