A national treasure who elevates the name of the kingdom of Jordan. A success model for some of the brightest young journalists in the land. Imagine what #AhlamTamimi must have done to get that kind of star-treatment.

Actually there's no need to imagine: justice.gov/opa/pr/individ…
Obama's second term had just started when @TheJusticeDept began its efforts to bring #Jordanian bomber @AhlamTamimi to US justice. Isn't it time for Congress to examine the truth behind all the shabby posturing?

Please share this thread and especially this video clip with the offices of your Senators and your Member of the US Congress. Outrageously #AhlamTamimi, the world's most wanted female fugitive, remains free today, still out of the reach of the US, #Jordan's strongest ally.

@Jtruzmah Everything here is surreal which can mislead: the slow motion of the fireflies, the gentle mid-air ballet. In reality, it's akin to the Battle of Britain: high drama, split-second decisions, lives threatened, even ruined. Hamas with its incomprehensibly-large armory is ruthless.
@Jtruzmah Though it's coming to us via video, TV, the web, this isn't reality TV. It's reality period. Almost none of the mainstream news reports (especially the Europeans) convey this. The adherence to their networks' corporate-sanctioned narratives is appalling. Image
@Jtruzmah A rising sense among Israeli commentators tonight that Hamas has been allowed to take the initiative, to set the pace of escalation, to define the timing. And that this isn't in Israel's interests. At a time of transition, the big questions center on Israel's political coherence.

At a time when justice-minded people are expressing outrage at lethally antisemitic violence, disingenuous judges, obstructive politicians, apathetic media - a sincere request from a murdered child's parents to please stand with us via our petition: change.org/ExtraditeTamimi
Please share. Tamimi, giggling in this video, is the world's most wanted female fugitive. She's sheltered from US law enforcement - which has pursued her since 2013 - by #Jordan, world's 3rd-largest recipient of US foreign aid and in breach of its Extradition Treaty with the US.
The extradition of admitted bomber #AhlamTamimi, sought since 2013 by @TheJusticeDept but thwarted by #Jordan and the inaction of most members of Congress and US officials, has few heroes as @TheDemocrats @HouseDemocrats @HouseGOP @SenateForeign @SenateGOP @SenateDems can confirm

Years after our child was murdered in the 2001 bombing of a child-filled pizzeria, we're urged to leave it alone, move on. The most persuasive ripost comes from @BBC which in October, recognizing #AhlamTamimi's status as a celebrity, depicted the boastful killer as a victim.
Care to know the last time the @BBC reported on our ongoing efforts to see #AhlamTamimi extradited by Jordan (which illicitly safeguards her) to Washington where she faces trial for terror offences under US law?

We do too.
But ask when @BBC last gave totally sympathetic coverage to the woman who claims credit for the Jerusalem pizzeria massacre and the targeting of the Jewish children there. That we can certainly tell you.

"Why does BBC promote my daughter’s murderer?"

To @BBC management:

Anyone with a sense of decency and respect for justice knows how inexcusable it is that @BBC gives vital oxygen to the demands and 'victimhood' of the #SbarroMonster [here: bbc.com/arabic/tv-and-…] while ignoring us and the other families of her victims.

Unless you speak Arabic, you're likely unaware that @YouTube's version of the same @BBC video clip had 275,000 views by Friday when it was turned private and thus unviewable. See the translation into English: palwatch.org/page/18280
/3
Whatever @BBC does now, 9 days after its @BBCArabic "Trending" TV show went to air and online, is largely irrelevant. In targeting Arabic-speaking audiences globally, they articulated a message of emphatic support for the "rights" of fugitive felons like #Tamimi. Disgraceful.

The clip of the most wanted female fugitive alive, Jordanian VIP/bomber #AhlamTamimi, is still up on @Facebook. The page belongs to an entity absurdly calling itself (in Arabic) "Prisoners of War". Remember this when @Facebook next boasts of its high-minded #CommunityStandards.
The #AhlamTamimi paean to Arab terrorists [thisongoingwar.blogspot.com/2020/09/21-sep…] is now the most popular post on this @Facebook 'prisoners of war' page. Tamimi, an @FBIMostWanted, is kept safe from @TheJusticeDept in flagrant breach of the Jordan/US extradition treaty... by Jordan. Image
It's now 09:00 EDT Wednesday and the speech by the most wanted female fugitive alive, an @FBIMostWanted who boasts of killing children in a pizzeria including our daughter, remains up and accessible on @Facebook as it has been since September 11. @Facebook's response? You know. Ahlam Tamimi, a Jordanian I...

Jordanian officials assert in off-the-record briefings that @FBIMostWanted fugitive #AhlamTamimi has no role in kingdom's public discourse. Has anyone told *her*? Celebrating 9/11 this week, she Zoom-lectured how media must do more to back #PalArab terror. archive.is/EHt4x Image
Calling all news reporters: What would get you to ask the embassy of Jordan in whatever country you're based (or @RHCJO in Jordan) for a reaction? How do they explain harboring a confessed killer of children on the run from their most important ally's criminal justice system?

Sure the Jordanians will squirm. The freedom and fame of this @FBIMostWanted killer is something they prefer to hide. But with #AhlamTamimi a celebrity in Jordan - hero, icon, inspiration to more terror - isn't this why we need an enquiring news industry?
