<![CDATA[<p dir="ltr">This is not a typical episode. Nachi Gordon sits down in Yerushalayim with Arnold Roth, whose 15 year old daughter Malki was murdered in the Sbarro pizzeria bombing on August 9, 2001. Arnold shares who Malki was, the last "I love you" she exchanged with her mother, and the twelve hours the family spent searching for her before the 2 a.m. phone call from her brothers.</p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">But the story doesn't end there. Ahlam Tamimi, the woman who planned the attack, was sentenced to 16 life terms, freed in the 2011 Gilad Shalit deal, and has been living openly in Jordan ever since, where she even hosted her own TV show. She is the only woman on the FBI's Most Wanted Terrorists list, with a $5 million reward on her head, and Jordan still refuses to hand her over. Arnold explains why he calls the silence of governments and American Jewish leadership a betrayal, and what each of us can do about it.</p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">Sign the petition to extradite Ahlam Tamimi:</p> <p dir="ltr"><a href= "https://www.change.org/p/we-urge-the-president-and-secretary-of-state-of-the-united-states-to-do-everything-necessary-so-that-jordan-which-has-thwarted-this-process-for-years-finally-complies-with-its-treaty-obligation-and-with-fundamental-notions-of-justice"> https://www.change.org/p/we-urge-the-president-and-secretary-of-state-of-the-united-states-to-do-everything-necessary-so-that-jordan-which-has-thwarted-this-process-for-years-finally-complies-with-its-treaty-obligation-and-with-fundamental-notions-of-justice</a></p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">Learn more about the Malki Foundation:</p> <p dir="ltr"><a href= "https://www.kerenmalki.org/">https://www.kerenmalki.org</a></p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">This episode is sponsored by:</p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">► PZ Deals</p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">Never pay full price again when you download the PZ Deals app.</p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr"><a href= "https://app.pz.deals/install/mpp">https://app.pz.deals/install/mpp</a></p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">_________________</p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">► Colel Chabad Pushka App</p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">The easiest way to give Tzedaka.</p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr"><a href= "https://pushkapp.cc/meaningful">https://pushkapp.cc/meaningful</a></p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">_________________</p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">► Touro</p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">Serious about your education and your Torah learning?
