01-Apr-17: Ahlam Tamimi, Most Wanted Terrorist - now in Arabic

The Department of Justice in Washington, which added the Sbarro massacre mastermind Ahlam Tamimi to its Most Wanted Terrorists list on March 14, 2017, yesterday (Friday) published an Arabic-language version of the Most Wanted poster:

Ahlam Tamimi - Click the image to enlarge

The English-language version of the same poster is here.

Tamimi, who has boasted openly and gleefully of her key role as mastermind of the massacre at Jerusalem's Sbarro pizzeria in 2001, appears now to have changed her approach in the wake of the American efforts to bring her before a US court and says she "didn't do anything" and the "charges are untrue" ["31-Mar-17: Tamimi, our daughter's grinning, boasting murderer, now says she is innocent"]

We hope our friends in the Arabic-language media will circulate the poster so that it gets the widest possible exposure, especially in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan where she was born and lives as a free citizen. (On second thought, we're not really expecting the Jordanians to do much. Here's some background we wrote two years ago on how their media work: "13-Feb-15: Jordanian accuracy")

Jordan's highest court ruled two weeks ago that it would be a serious legal problem for Jordan to comply with its two-decades-old extradition treaty obligations and hand Tamimi over to the US authorities as they have formally requested. The process is ongoing.

About us

THIS ONGOING WAR is not part of the activity of the Malki Foundation which was founded by us, Frimet and Arnold Roth of Jerusalem, on September 11, 2001. But it is inspired by the same tragic circumstances. The Malki Foundation (also known by its Hebrew name: Keren Malki) is a memorial to the life of our daughter, Malki who was murdered at the age of 15 in a massacre in the centre of Jerusalem carried out by Hamas.

Beyond its function as a remembrance of a beautiful life, the foundation provides tangible, concrete, invaluable support daily to several thousand Israeli families from every part of the religious and socio-economic spectrum: Christian, Moslem, Jewish, Druze and others who care at home for a seriously disabled child.

Good for the soul | The Malki Foundation

If you care to make a positive and constructive contribution to the care of Israeli children with special needs - whether they're Christian, Moslem, Jewish, Druze or unconnected to any particular faith community - you can't do better than direct your donation to the work of the Malki Foundation.

It's the charitable organization we, the bloggers who produce This Ongoing War, established in 2001 in memory of our murdered daughter. Her name is Malki.

Keren Malki (in Hebrew, Keren means 'foundation' or 'fund') is efficient, effective, non-sectarian, non-political and unique in the good work it does. Thousands of families from every part of our richly diverse society here in Israel have benefited in concrete and meaningful ways. Donations to Keren Malki are tax-effective in Israel, Canada, UK and the United States.

There's also plenty of background at www.malkifoundation.org as well as on the Malki Foundation Blog.
