It's hard to convey the depths of the frustration. We're fighting to get public officials to do their duty, to prosecute an indicted, admitted bomber/terrorist. They don't say "stop" or "you're wrong". It's easier to just ignore us. Or to just say "We're doing it but..."

But what? Jordan doesn't want the headache of handing over a mass-murdering felon? One who happens to be an icon, a celebrity, widely adored and never publicly criticized over there? Has someone decided the Jordanian street's embrace of antisemitic terror can veto US justice?

If you know anything about the years-long struggle to get the @Sbarro bomber on trial in Washington, you know it from social media. On Jordan, America's major media long-ago opted to trample their own principles; to suppress the scandal; to ask no questions.

When senior US politicians, officials, diplomats, spokespersons at @StateDept, @WhiteHouse, deflect the occasional questions, the result is US justice gets trumped by the unspoken priority of concealing Jordan's breach of its US treaty and how Jordan shields #AhlamTamimi.

Tamimi was indicted in 2013 but the charges stayed sealed and secret till 2017 when @TheJusticeDept announced them. But Jordan refused to extradite. After a letter from us, the NSC said on the eve of a July 2022 @KingAbdullahII visit that "we continue to seek" the fugitive.

Without Congressional action, journalistic questions, outrage from human rights orgs, activism from America's Jewish leaders (Tamimi says the "operation" was about religion), justice won't be done. As parents of Malki, 15, killed by this savage, my wife and I beg you to help.
