Slain Israeli-American girl’s parents seek meeting with Biden during Jerusalem visit
[IsraelTimes] Malki Roth’s parents say they want president to ’look us in the eyes,’ explain how Jordan can be considered a trustworthy ally when it refuses to extradite terrorist Ahlam Tamimi
She and her husband are second cousins, as so often is the case in that part of the world, both members of the infamous al-Tamimi clan from the village of Nabi Salih — near Ramallah in the West Bank — that has for several generations waged war, both kinetic and propaganda as opportunity and individual temperament require, against Israel’s Jews. Dear Ahlam al-Tamimi regularly worked as a scout and escape driver for Hamas, then moved in front of a TV camera to report on the exciting events she had just been involved in. She was serving sixteen life sentences for mistress-minding the Sbarro caper when she along with 999 others was traded for Gilad Shalit, the IDF sergeant kidnapped by Hamas. Possibly husband/cousin Nizar Tamimi is also a Hamasnik, but other relatives belong to Fatah or the PLO in general, so there are lots of possibilities.
The family of an Israeli-American girl killed in a 2001 Paleostinian suicide kaboom in Jerusalem is seeking a meeting with US President Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. Former Senator-for-Life from Delaware, an example of the kind of top-notch Washington intellect hacked up by the World's Greatest Deliberative Body. The guy who single-handedly lost Afghanistan...
in hopes of forcing Jordan to extradite a woman convicted in the deadly attack.
I’m so sorry, Mr. and Mrs. Roth, but President Biden does not care, and he can’t be shamed into proper behaviour.
The parents of Malki Roth turned to Biden on Sunday asking to meet with the president when he comes to Jerusalem this week. They want the president to put pressure on Jordan, a close American ally, to send Ahlam Tamimi to the US for trial.

"We are bereaved parents as you are, sir. We have a burning sense that injustice in the wake of our child’s murder is winning," Frimet and Arnold Roth wrote in their letter. "We ask that you address this as only the leader of the United States can."

The Roths have been waging a campaign for the extradition of Ahlam Tamimi since she was released by Israel in a 2011 prisoner swap with the Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, murderous Moslem group. Under that deal, Tamimi was sent to her native Jordan, where she lives freely and has been a familiar face in the media. Jordanian authorities have rebuffed calls to extradite her.

On Aug. 9, 2001, a Paleostinian bomber walked into a Jerusalem pizzeria and went kaboom!, killing 15 people. Two American citizens, including 15-year-old Malki Roth, were among the dead.

Tamimi, who chose the target and guided the bomber there, was arrested weeks later and sentenced by Israel to 16 life sentences. Since her release, she has expressed no remorse and even boasted that she was pleased with the high corpse count. In a 2017 interview with The News Agency that Dare Not be Named, she said the Paleostinians have a right to resist Israel by any means, including deadly attacks.

The Roths have repeatedly called on US authorities to press Jordan, which has received billions of dollars in American assistance, to turn over Tamimi for trial.

The United States has charged Tamimi with conspiring to use a weapon of mass destruction against American nationals. The charge was filed under seal in 2013 and announced by the Justice Department four years later. Her name was added to the FBI
...Formerly one of the world's premier criminal investigation organizations, something for a nation to be proud of. Now it's a political arm of the Deep State oligarchy that is willing to trump up charges, suppress evidence, or take out insurance policies come election time...
’s list of Most Wanted Terrorists.

The US and Jordan signed an extradition treaty in 1995. But in 2017, Jordan’s high court blocked her extradition, reportedly claiming the treaty was never ratified. Two years ago, the Trump administration said it was considering withholding aid to Jordan over the case, but ultimately no action was taken.

Jordan is one of the United States’ closest partners in the Arab world, seen as a force of moderation and stability in the volatile Middle East. American officials appear to be wary of sparking a diplomatic crisis with a key ally.

"Something is obviously terribly wrong with how the pursuit of America’s most wanted female runaway is going," the Roths wrote in their letter, sent to Biden through the US Embassy.

"We want to explain this to you better in a face-to-face meeting," they added. "We want you to look us in the eyes, Mr. President, and tell us how Jordan’s king can be a praiseworthy ally."

Biden is scheduled to land in Israel on Wednesday before traveling to a Mideast summit in Saudi Arabia
...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. Fifteen of the nineteen WTC hijackers were Saudis, and most major jihadi commanders were Saudis, to include Osama bin Laden. Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman quietly folded that tent in 2016, doing terrible things to the guys running it, and has since been dragging the kingdom into the current century...
on Friday. He has no plans to be in Jordan, though Jordanian officials are expected at the summit.

There was no immediate comment from either the White House or the Jordanian Royal Hashemite Court.

The Roths’ letter was sent days after the family of a Paleostinian-American journalist killed while covering an IDF raid in Jenin lashed out at Biden over his administration’s response to her death.

Relatives of Al Jazeera news hound Shireen Abu Akleh expressed "grief, outrage and [a] sense of betrayal" in a letter accusing the US of trying to erase Israeli responsibility for her death. A US investigation concluded that Abu Akleh was likely killed by Israeli fire but that the bullet was too damaged to reach a definitive conclusion and that there was "no reason to believe" she was deliberately targeted. Israel says Abu Akleh was killed during a shootout with Paleostinian button men, and it is unclear who fired the deadly shot. The Paleostinians say Israel intentionally killed her.

The White House declined to comment on the Roths’ letter or the family’s request for a meeting during his visit.

In March, Interpol dropped an international warrant for the Jordanian terrorist who orchestrated the 2001 Sbarro pizzeria bombing in Jerusalem that killed 15 people.
