Chair @MalkiFoundation • Defeating terror demands saner strategies. @FrimetRoth and I honor our murdered child’s life by fighting for long-thwarted US justice.
@HarvelaHarvey@ThisOngoingWar Flawed and political, yes. But not a decision. The only status ever reported to my wife and me by @TheJusticeDept is that they really want Tamimi, they’re going to get her, it’s a priority for them. Years go by, we’re treated as idiots and the murderer lives a celebrity’s life.
Whoever signed this important petition from Japan, thank you.
Many years ago, I was involved in a similar fight, and its leader once wrote to me:
“Justice is not just a word; it is a feeling, a desire for those guilty to face up to their responsibility.
Too bad the rest of the world can’t see that people are just people after all. All have the same needs and feel the same pain. Thanks for making me a part of this great effort of living together.”
@DAGToddBlanche:
After years of silence by @TheJusticeDept, the questions below need answering.
It’s demeaning and cruel to treat the families of the victims of Jordanian savage Tamimi - the barbarian who calls the @Sbarro atrocity “a crown on my head” - this badly.
Let’s talk.
On This Day — June 3, 1948
Over half a million Arabs poured into Mandate Palestine in just 12 years to take advantage of the economic opportunities created by Jewish development — the only place in the entire Middle East with a growing Arab middle class.
Robert F. Kennedy, then only 22, made that striking observation in his reporting from British Mandate Palestine in April 1948 (just weeks before Israel’s independence). His dispatch was published this day in the Boston Post.
RFK wrote:
“The Jews point with pride to the fact that over 500,000 Arabs ... came into Palestine to take advantage of living conditions existing in no other Arab state. This is the only country in the Near and Middle East where an Arab middle class is in existence.”
He described how the Jews had transformed arid desert into flourishing orange groves through relentless labor and ingenuity. Tel Aviv had grown from a small village into a modern metropolis of over 200,000 in a single generation.
RFK noted that the Jews had already built a thriving community with its own institutions, language, and national characteristics — and were determined to reclaim their ancient homeland “as of right and not on sufferance.”
A young Bobby Kennedy saw the truth clearly: a people returning home, rebuilding their land with their own hands, and refusing to live as guests in their own country.
This is how it has been since the US federal charges against the @Sbarro bomber were finally, years after being issued in Washington, unsealed.
Shameful, self-damaging silence.
@HarvelaHarvey We've heard that for years - from the @WhiteHouse, the @StateDept, the National Security Council, two past US ambassadors to Jordan, today's acting head of @TheJusticeDept and numerous other Washington officials.
Since they have calendars too, what are they really saying?
Give us your voice and together we will ensure this Jordanian savage, kept unjustly safe from US prosecutors for years in Jordan and by Jordan, finally goes on trial in Washington:

Seriously, who decides that US justice takes a back seat to Jordan’s agenda in the disgracefully thwarted #AhlamTamimi prosecution?
Which of the bodies overseeing US justice are asleep at the wheel?
Are they comfortable with this ongoing fiasco?

“The pain of our bitter experience stems from the failures of US justice, Congress and the executive branch, reinforced by a depressing propensity for clear-cut issues to fall victim to politics both domestic and global... It’s time to change how America views the war against the terrorists and those who stand with them. Everything dear to us depends on getting that right.”

Just don’t say there was nothing you could have done. This travesty of justice, ongoing day after day for years, is driven by apathy, inaction, silence.
Give your voice to us as we battle for the Jordanian savage to finally be brought to US justice.

Is this true? Does this member of Carney's council tasked with combating antisemitism refuse to condemn Hamas and Hezbollah?
The same Hamas whose covenant calls for the killing of Jews -- not pesky Zionists, mind you, but Jews?
The same Hamas whose children's programming carries insane conspiracy theories about Jews? (Again, not Israelis. Jews.)
The same Hamas born of the Muslim Brotherhood and its Nazi-esque antisemitic discourse?
When can we just conclude that Carney isn't remotely interested in tackling antisemitism -- which in Canada's case is disproportionately a Muslim-community phenomenon -- but that he's actually covering for it?
