Many think that as parents of one of the many victims, we urge fury because of how much the #Sbarro atrocity devastated us. It did. But we have warned for years that the dead Jewish children made #AhlamTamimi a Jordanian heroine and the massacre an inspiration to more savagery.
Since we pay close attention to the Arabic media in general, and Jordan's in particular, we see (and relatively few Westerners do) how much support there is for #AhlamTamimi's "resistance" action and the utter absence of Jordanian criticism of what the kingdom has made of her.
The absence of Western media focus on how the orchestrator of a massacre targeting Jewish children has become a hero goes unreported, complicating efforts to urge the fugitive terrorist's extradition to Washington. How major media editors choose what's reported is an education.

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".
3/
 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".

@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.
@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...
