“Instead of engaging with us, the @StateDept issue statements where they say "in response to the #Tamimi extradition, the US is determined to see her brought to justice and we will not rest”" @arnoldroth told @DailyCaller. “It’s clearly untrue.” dailycaller.com/2021/07/20/bid…
We're parents of a child murdered in a massacre for which a Jordanian terrorist claims 'credit'. We seek to communicate our message during @KingAbdullahII's long current DC visit. @StateDept reacts mostly with mantras, derision, silence. Yet look at this
Give us a voice, ladies and gentlemen of the news industry. Let us be heard on this vital matter of moral responsibility, leaders of @StateDept. Hear us on accountability and core democratic values, @SecBlinken. We don't intend to let you keep silencing our calls for justice.
Sadly this the state of one of the media's most important segments. How truth to power works in today's Washington.

@Mediaite: The WH press corps failed to even ask @PressSec Psaki if @POTUS is pressing Jordan's king to extradite the Jordanian bomber [mailchi.mp/mediaite/live-…]

Jordan's @KingAbdullahII met with @POTUS on Monday, with @SecBlinken on Tuesday. Their spokespeople @jrpsaki and @nedprice were asked by @AssociatedPress reporters whether the #TamimiExtradition issue was mentioned. Neither one was able to answer this most basic of questions... Image
Jordan began shirking its treaty responsibility to the US in March 2017. It continues to shelter the world's most wanted fugitive female, the #Sbarro bomber, who remains free and famous despite Jordan's responsibility to hand her over for trial in DC as the treaty requires... Image
We're the parents of one of the Jordanian fugitive bomber's many victims. Our child, a US national, was murdered at the age of 15. And America's senior leadership isn't sure whether it raised the matter of the @FBIMostWanted terrorist's extradition with #Jordan's ruler. Image

Other than when Jordan militarily occupied it (1948-67), the Temple Mount has always attracted pilgrims, Jewish tourists, Israelis of all kinds to Judaism's most sacred place. So here's Jordan gov't TV now aping #PalArab hate language absurdly calling them "storming settlers".
Like most Israelis, we're looking forward to better relations between our country and Jordan. But that's no reason to allow Jordan's overt anti-Jewish bigotry to be ignored as the @JRTVmedia clip likely will be. Take their textbooks for example: adl.org/blog/antisemit…
Related issue: The stunning levels of antisemitic sentiment in the kingdom. @KingAbdullahII is now on a long visit to the US, heading to meetings in the Congress and @WhiteHouse. Isn't now the time for reporters to ask what #Jordan is doing to fix this?

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?"
