2/3 Quietly, various commentators, politicians and government officials have claimed at various times that the Jordanians restrain @FBIMostWanted#AhlamTamimi (whom Jordan harbors) and have curtailed her terror-inciting activities. We understand why they say this. You should too.
3/3 As of October 20, 2022, Jordanian #AhlamTamimi has been a fugitive from US justice for 2,046 days. The terrorist bombing of a Jerusalem pizzeria thronged with children and spearheaded by Tamimi made her a celebrity. Why is Jordan permitted to keep her safe from justice?

The statement refers to two Americans killed. It ignores a third American, a young mother having lunch in the pizzeria with her toddler child. The mother remains unconscious today, years after Jordanian fugitive #AhlamTamimi executed what she publicly calls "the finest of deeds".
Another of those murdered was our daughter Malki, one of the two Americans mentioned in @TheJusticeDept statement. Jordanian fugitive #AhlamTamimi who masterminded the atrocity and carefully chose the site wanted a target filled with children. She got it.
1/6 Please share this thread to mark today's shameful milestone. The Jordanian woman who boasts of her key role in the massacre at Jerusalem's @Sbarro pizzeria was charged under US law 2,000 days ago today (September 4, 2022). And is still free in Jordan.
Oddly, of the 57 House Dems who just called for a US "probe" into the death of an @Aljazeera reporter, not one has joined our calls for the US to press Jordan, which harbors a *reporter* whose bomb murdered our American child, to hand her over for trial timesofisrael.com/57-house-dems-…
2/ For years, the US media avoid reporting about @TheJusticeDept efforts to get the indicted Jordanian woman (she boasts about the bombing she spearheaded) handed over to American law enforcement as required by the treaty.
Here's what they don't tell you: change.org/ExtraditeTamimi
3/ The only response this appeal of ours got was cold, stony silence...
After watching the @WhiteHouse once again roll out the red carpet and over-the-top praise for Jordan's king on Friday, we don't know if the bill currently in a committee of the Congress that sanctions Jordan for its trampling of the 1995 treaty with the Clinton administration...

stands a chance. What we can say is Jordan's illicit harboring of @Sbarro bomber #AhlamTamimi was unmentioned by @POTUS, his officials, @StateDept and US media. So...
❶ Is there quiet agreement to ignore the @FBIMostWanted bomber's freedom and her years of terror incitement?
3
❷ Has Jordan's demeaning of its 1995 treaty with the US now been accepted de facto by the Biden administration?
❸ Is it now US policy in specific cases to pragmatically ignore #PalArab terror and the murder of Jewish children including Americans like our daughter Malki?
The Jordanian government of @KingAbdullahII has shielded and sheltered the admitted bomber, #AhlamTamimi, in Jordan since the day the @FBI announced she faces federal charges and named her an @FBIMostWanted terrorist. His Majesty is an honored guest today in the @WhiteHouse.
2/ With Jordan's king hailed in Washington this week as America's "most loyal" friend, it's hard to describe the dismay overwhelming us. We're bereaved parents of a murdered American child. Seeking justice, we instead get the cynical mantras of politicians and officials.
3/ He rules over an impoverished realm but was recently exposed as having "spared no effort to conceal his real estate holdings" [icij.org/investigations…]. @KingAbdullahII get kid-gloves treatment in the Oval Office and the media hold their nose. A disgrace all round.
In Tampa FL Friday, Jordan's king met the commanders of US Central Command and US Special Operations Command to discuss "regional and international efforts to fight terrorism within a holistic approach." rhc.jo/en/media/news/…
This is troubling.

2/ Is a terror policy called "holistic" when it means harboring America's most wanted female fugitive terrorist #AhlamTamimi? That's what Jordan has done since 2017. The @StateDept admits (too quietly) that Jordan is breaching its 1995 extradition treaty obligation to the US.
/3
3/ For shabby political reasons, Jordan gets away with refusing to extradite the @Sbarro bomber who murdered 15 innocents and has became an Arab celebrity and icon. She's free because that's what @KingAbdullahII wants. US officials want him to be happy. And let justice be damned.
