They should not only do this. They should also make all aid contingent upon governments not aiding jihad activity in any way.
“Trump Administration Weighs Cutting Aid to Pressure Jordan to Extradite Convicted Terrorist,” by Amir Tibon, Haaretz, June 16, 2020:
WASHINGTON – The Trump administration is increasing its pressure on Jordan to extradite a Palestinian-Jordanian involved in the murder of U.S. citizens who has been living in that country since her release from an Israeli prison nine years ago.
On Tuesday, The Associated Press reported that the White House is considering withholding or cutting military aid to Jordan if it continues to refuse to extradite Ahlam Tamimi, who the United States wants to try for her role in a 2001 suicide bombing in a Jerusalem pizza parlor.
Tamimi was convicted of being one of the organizers of that attack, which killed 15 people, including two U.S. citizens. She was sentenced to 16 life sentences by an Israeli court in 2003, but was released from prison in 2011 as part of a prisoner exchange deal in which the government released more than 1,000 Palestinian prisoners in exchange for Gilad Shalit, an Israeli soldier held hostage by Hamas.
After her early release from prison, Tamimi moved to Jordan, where most of her family resides. Over the past nine years, she has become a public persona there, appearing on television programs and giving media interviews. Throughout, the parents of Malki Roth, a 15-year-old Israeli and American dual citizen who was murdered in the Jerusalem attack, have waged a public campaign demanding that she face trial in the U.S.
Jordan and the U.S. have a joint extradition agreement, but Jordan’s reply to the growing pressure over the years to extradite Tamimi has been that the agreement is invalid. Last year, the State Department rejected the Jordanian claim and insisted in a written report that the extradition agreement was valid and applied to Tamimi’s case….

This reminds me of the way the Wild West was cleaned up! For Wyatt Earp, read Donald Trump! Time to send Islamic Jihad to Boot Hill! Praise the Lord and pass the ammo.

Hesham Shehab says
The U.S. should ban Jordanians like the other people in banned countries. 90% or more of Jordanians are Palestinians who hate America and work on destroying our freedoms and democracy.
R Thomasson says
@Hesham Shehab You are a very brave man who come out openly with his opinion. It’s true that most Jordanians are Palestinians. The Palestinian psychiatrist of Fort Hood, Nidal, Malik Hassan, gave the evidence how much Palestinians hate America. I assume not all of them are enemies of the State, but the ones who are, have to be kicked out of the country.

So true Hesham!
Alice W says
Wow!
Why did the Israelis give her freedom?
R Thomasson says
@Alice W. Good question: A better question is: why did they let her live? Why she and her buddies were not killed on the spot? Expensive lawyers, courts and jailing do not solve anything. It means in Israel (for terrorists) Dulce Vita life full of perks; otherwise will the Red Cross and UN be angry. Both organization the Israeli authorities are shitty scared of. When time comes (very soon) they go out of jail back to happiness and freedom.

Alice, Ahlam Tamimi received multiple life sentences for involvement in carrying out the Sbarro restaurant suicide bombing. She was released as part of the Gilad Shalit prisoner exchange–Shalit had been kidnapped and held by Jihad terrorists for years.

For the life of ONE Israeli soldier. That’s how much the Israelis love their own people. That’s how much the Americans OUGHT to love one American citizen.

Why is our American government in the aid business to begin with? Charity should come from the individual or organization not our TAX DOLLARS. The taxes we pay should go to provide education, law enforcement, infrastructure, military, and the cost of government operations not foreign projects or hand outs. The islamic/muslim countries don’t need our money we are supporting their wars not their people. The whole foreign aid political give away program needs to be looked at closely. Who is benefiting from the foreign aid both over seas and here at home. Are we the tax payer buying the right for big corporations to do business in foreign countries for their profits? Another question is how many of our political leaders and state department members/families are profiting from foreign aid i.e. Bidens?
Trillions of our TAX DOLLARS have flowed out of this country in the last 20 yrs. what do we the American people have to show for it? ans. NOT MUCH.
STOP the world welfare program it doesn’t work, and it won’t work, you can’t buy love or honor.
Linde Barrera says
I do not want my US tax dollars to fund terror of any kind. If you think this Muslima Tamimi should be extradited, please go to “whitehouse.gov” and send an email from that website.
I think many Jordanians want to be aligned with Israel so their country gets the tourist money (frequently, people who sign up for a tour to Israel get a few days to see top spots in Jordan too) but many, many Jordanians hate Israel and the US because they are devout and seething Islamists.

We should not be giving ANY aid to ANY Muslim-majority countries — ever. Our aim should be to weaken the Muslim world, not support it. That should be obvious to anyone who reads the Qur’an, or who listens to the anti-Western/anti-infidel vitriol pouring forth from the Muslim world.
