21-Jul-20: Hope via realpolitik and how did the line between good and evil get so blurred? [AUDIO]

Over at the The Land of Israel Network where they focus on "broadcasting the truth and beauty of the land of Israel and the Jewish people", Eve Harow has her own program, Rejuvenation.

Eve is an Israeli radio personality of some distinction as well as a public speaker and - when tourists are more plentiful than in today's challenged times - a much-in-demand licensed tour guide.

On July 20, 2020, Eve's "Rejuvenation" program hosted Arnold Roth under the title "Morality and Money". The money part relates to recent steps taken by the US legislature to 'encourage' a racalcitrant Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan to finally, long after the US started requesting this, extradite the world's most wanted female fugitive, Ahlam Tamimi, to Washington.

Given the values exhibited by the Jordanians who, from the peak of their regimented and monarchical society to the most common of its people, embrace Tamimi as a hero, it's hard to know how the word "morality" got a mention.

These notes come from Eve's hosting page:

Arnold and Frimet Roth are at a critical juncture in their 19 year battle for justice. The terrorist who planned the murders of their daughter Malki and 14 others while wounding 130 at Jerusalem’s Sbarro’s pizza shop in August 2001, might now be extradited to the US from Jordan where she’s hailed as a hero. Arnold joins Eve to speak of hope via realpolitik, the disappointments and betrayals, pay for slay, the ongoing grief and the journey detailed here – thisongoingwar.blogspot.com How has the line between good and evil become so blurred? Can we help to redraw it?

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.
