“The Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations sent a letter to Secretary of State Tony Blinken calling for the extradition from Jordan of convicted terrorist Ahlam Tamimi, who was a key figure in the 2001 Sbarro terror attack in Jerusalem.”…

We're hoping the Conf Of Presidents letter to the head of the Department of State creates awareness of how the Sbarro bomber and the Kingdom of #Jordan which keeps her safe have both been essentially untroubled all these years by US demands for extradition which they both simply flick away.

As a reminder of how politicians and government officials can sometimes seem totally committed to a principled course of action when in reality they do the exact opposite, the letter to Secretary Antony Blinken from Conf Of Presidents was announced on a depressing anniversary:

Eugene Kontorovich This Ongoing War Israel also helps Jordan get their water. People require water to live and for their agriculture. The King of Jordan had a self-interest in not biting the hand that feeds him, so to speak. Israel helps bring water to a drought-ridden world and many should remember that.

NEWSFLASH | Israel doesn't care if you like, or dislike, Netanyahu. Most of Israel, including Netanyahu himself, anticipate the PM will take the same historic exit Golda Meir's did when the time comes. The opposition you see on the streets of Jerusalem and Tel Aviv comprises a…

Zionist Federation of Australia Does any rational person anywhere think like this? That holding on to hostages, including aged folk and babies, will create this thing they call 'free palestine'? That 'Bring Them Home' about hostages is an idea they can't tolerate other people seeing, hearing, thinking about?

As I suggested yesterday, Jordan is not part of any “alliance” with Israel - they have an independent self-interest in not being the battle ground for an Iran-Israel missile war.

Eugene Kontorovich Asher Fredman אשר פרדמן But this reality - that Jordan unsurprisingly acts in accordance with its own interests as most countries do - will not stop starry-eyed Israelis and friends of Israel abroad from patting Jordan's royals on the shoulder.

Naftali, my son-in-law, was a quiet-spoken man of principle and achievement, devoted to family and country. And a reservist like so many of the young men who have fallen in fighting #Hamas and in pushing back against the unremitting evil of #Iran .

An extraordinary story about a man, husband, father and his country.
