“King Abdullah might have a sad.”
Jerusalem, July 20 – Government insiders reminded the public today that upholding the values and morals of a society entails saying nothing to or about the heinous actions of brutal criminals and the organizations that use them.
Officials made the remarks as part of a press conference at which they explained the importance of refraining from pressure on, for example, the Kingdom of Jordan for not just harboring but celebrating a terrorist mastermind behind suicide bombings that killed children and US citizens, despite an extradition agreement with the US.
“Yes, Ahlam Tamimi is a monster and the injustice continues to grate on us,” acknowledged the officials. “But King Abdullah might have a sad if we pressure him to do the right thing.”
“It’s bad when King Abdullah has a sad,” they added. “Reminding him that his throne is secure and his country has enough drinking water only thanks to us, and that he should therefore reconsider his not-quite-tacit support for mass-murdering Jew-killers, would create an unsafe space for him. A safe space is very important. Look at the safe space Jordan provides Ahlam Tamimi, for example.”
Tamimi planned with and transported the suicide bomber who killed 15 civilians at a Jerusalem restaurant in 2001. Israeli authorities captured her and tried her as an accomplice. Imprisoned but released in a deal to free a captured Israeli soldier, she now lives as a hero in Jordan and has bragged on national television about her role in the attack. The Hashemite Kingdom signed an extradition treaty with Washington but has refused to ratify it – while Tamimi sits atop the FBI’s Most Wanted List. Successive US presidential administrations have also refrained from applying noticeable pressure to avoid upsetting delicate regional alignments. Antisemitic violence enjoys broad support in Jordan.
Destabilizing Jordan could create a host of new problems in a region already struggling with Iranian imperialist ambitions, fluctuating oil prices, several wars, failing states, ethnic tensions, galling human rights violations, and rampant corruption, officials also noted. “At the moment, Israel can’t afford to weaken Abdullah,” they explained. “That might force us to make decisive moves to guard our eastern frontier, which raises the potential of having to actually assert control of the territory we’ve claimed historically but have been perfectly willing to let Palestinians take over while we arrest Jews who defend themselves from them.”
“Sometimes you just have to do the morally egregious thing,” they concluded. “Whatever it takes not to upset a terrorist-harboring, repressive autocrat whom we could squash like a bug if necessary.”
