This is a long but incredibly important read by Sherele Moody which appeared in the Sunshine Coast Daily on Arnold Roth's quest to bring his daughter Malki's murderer to justice and have her extradited from Jordan to the United States. ZFA President Jeremy Leibler is also quoted extensively with his thoughts whether Australia has a role to play in assisting the Roth family: THE Roths are fully supported in their venture by multiple Jewish and justice organisations in America and here in Australia, but it seems the more backing they get, the further Tamimi is from their reach.Malki's family have looked to their home country for help, believing Australia's good standing with the US and exceptionally warm ties to Jordan give Canberra meaningful influence.Zionist Federation of Australia president Jeremy Leibler agrees, but he stresses that Australia doesn't have a "mechanism under law" to get Tamimi extradited.However, he has recently penned a letter to Scott Morrison, asking him to "speak out publicly" on the issue and to pressure Biden's administration to act. "We can and should take every opportunity to advise the Jordanian government that we have neither forgotten nor forgiven the murderer of an Australian child," Leibler says.His comments were made in the wake of the release of Australian academic Kylie Moore-Gilbert from an Iranian prison where she was held for two years on a trumped-up espionage charge."Australia's intervention would make a difference," he says."It would make it easier for Jordan to comply with America's request to extradite Tamimi, citing increased international pressure."It would also encourage the incoming Biden administration to maintain pressure from their end."Action by the Australian government to see her murderer tried and appropriately punished for what she did would bring them, and all who hear of it, a level of peace."And it would send a further message to regimes that encourage and protect terrorists that if our citizens are targeted, we will not rest until the perpetrators are held to account."Read the rest of the article here: www.zfa.com.au/malki-went-to-eat-pizza-with-a-friend-then-she-was-murdered/ ...
