Sbarro Massacre: When media turns a terrorist into a heroine

 

On August 9, 2001, Ahlam Tamimi, along with another Hamas operative, perpetrated the suicide bombing of the Sbarro pizzeria in Jerusalem, one of the deadliest attacks of the Second Palestinian Intifada.

Ahlam’s niece, Ahed Tamimi, has also gained notoriety, if not praise, for her violent attacks on Israeli soldiers. Yet much of the mainstream media has painted the Tamimis as “activists.”

President Donald Trump has applied heavy pressure on Jordanian King Abdullah II to extradite Ahlam — who is currently residing in the Hashemite Kingdom after having been released by Israel in a prisoner exchange deal with Hamas — to the US, as one of her victims was an American citizen.

Amman has to date refused the request.

It is time for justice to be served.
