Those photos, from the same day as the law court event, are from the rapturous welcome the murderer was given at Amman's airport: http://archive.arabic.cnn.com/interactive/middle_east/2011/10/20/Ahlam.tamimi/This Ongoing Warhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00071059442104716833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29459499.post-750667539364105762016-05-30T11:59:55.965+03:002016-05-30T11:59:55.965+03:00I found a few images at Bing images by searching h...I found a few images at Bing images by searching her name:<br />http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=Ahlam+al-Tamimi&FORM=HDRSC2<br /><br />There were 2 on Getty images<br /><br />http://cache3.asset-cache.net/gc/129622840-jordanian-freed-prisoner-ahlam-tamimi-kisses-gettyimages.jpg?v=1&c=IWSAsset&k=2&d=CSIMBv%2faraCCLNLdbJQvXiCybFQW1%2bTluQTVve%2blio5kFQvXo4%2bgIPRbu%2byBbo7hAbozzMdjWMVyP1r4nkPouQ%3d%3d<br /><br />http://media.gettyimages.com/photos/jordanian-freed-prisoner-ahlam-tamimi-hugs-her-father-upon-her-at-picture-id129622837<br />Chanahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06431568308901211713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29459499.post-38015201787043524532016-05-30T08:06:23.493+03:002016-05-30T08:06:23.493+03:00David,
Thank you for articulating your rational,...David, <br /><br />Thank you for articulating your rational, warm and supportive views. We remain passionate about the land where we live by choice and where we have raised our family. <br /><br />But we remain cold-eyed about how public opinion gets shaped everywhere including here. The Shalit Deal was, as you say, awful - the wrong outcome for the worst reasons and with a heavy price that will continue to be paid by innocent people. <br /><br />But it would be a mistake to think that lessons have been learned here or anywhere else other than (mainly) by those who are invested in the process and its outcome. Lessons can't easily be taught to publics. Their views get shaped by a complex of things, some respectable, some deplorable, some foolish, some based on manipulation. That's probably been true everywhere and at all times. <br /><br />This does not exempt those who see the depth of the mistakes to suffer in silence. Our fate is to have to continue to speak up and hope some small changes for the better will follow. And even if not.<br /><br />TOWThis Ongoing Warhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00071059442104716833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29459499.post-37982351005709473302016-05-30T06:19:44.848+03:002016-05-30T06:19:44.848+03:00My heartfelt sympathy for the grief you have to en...My heartfelt sympathy for the grief you have to endure every day of your lives.<br /><br />That an evil murderer such as Ahlam al-Tamimi should be allowed to live the life she does in Jordan is an affront to all humanity.<br /><br />I don't know how King Abdullah can sleep at night - knowing such a despicable woman is roaming free in the kingdom he rules. I don't understand how President Obama can shake the King's hand and welcome him at the White House whilst Abdullah allows a convicted murderer like her to spruik her opinions on TV and travel throughout the Arab world to incite others to commit further violence against Jews.<br /><br />The release of those 1027 terrorists by Israel - including al-Tamimi - was one of the worst decisions made in Israel's history.<br /><br />One can only hope that it will never be repeated again.<br /><br />David Singer -https://www.blogger.com/profile/18281274914728257734noreply@blogger.com
