@SecBlinken, senior officials told us recently that @StateDept prioritizes getting Jordan to extradite @FBIMostWanted fugitive #AhlamTamimi to Wash DC as the treaty requires. Does no mention of it in the "great" @AymanHSafadi visit briefings signify progress? Or the opposite?
2/ The Jordanian woman is a confessed bomber who has taken to urging groups of youngsters to take pride, as she does, in the fate of the victims of the savage bombing she orchestrated. Our 15 year old daughter Malki, an American, was one of the "Zionists" she blew up that day.
3/ Tamimi's face has appeared on these @FBIMostWanted posters since March 2017. Oddly the posters have never appeared publicly in Jordan in all that time. This may be connected to how the bomber was then and still is an icon and a hero in Jordan, a US ally.
4/ If you're reading this and asking yourself how ordinary people can help bring this savage to justice, the answer is here:

Jordan's @RoyaTV deal with a German media giant has hit a wall over "concerns about anti-Israeli and antisemitic content... not consistent with the values of DW" [timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry…] Good for @DeutscheWelle: the dark side of Jordan's media gets a free pass too often.
2/
 In 2018, a popular @RoyaTV show showcased #AhlamTamimi, Jordan's celebrated jihadist and an @FBIMostWanted fugitive from US justice. In our blog, we highlighted what the confessed bomber's savagery did to the mood of the show's presenter: thisongoingwar.blogspot.com/2018/11/24-nov…

 The Roya Media Group's CEO in a media release today: "No one should expect us not to cover Israeli hostile actions that affect innocent civilians in fear of accusations of antisemitism."

Pause and think for a moment of the monstrosity of a woman, having just bombed a pizzeria filled with kids, rushing from the scene of the atrocity to the TV studio where she worked and blandly reporting it as the story of the day.

 @AhlamTamimi's incredible fame and obscene stature in today's Jordan was underscored by how Jordan's king escaped all probing questions in his Washington stay during July. No one pressed him - certainly not the many lawmakers who honored him in Congress.
3/
 Worse, official spokespersons for both @POTUS and @SecBlinken performed acrobatics to avoid answering attempts by two @AP reporters to have them answer the highly complicated question "Was the Tamimi issue raised?" So far, the same spox have avoided our questions too.

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:
2
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...
3
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?

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...
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...
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.

“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.

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?
