Dear signatories,

Thank you for signing the petition we posted on the change.org platform in June. More than 4,200 of you have already signed and in this way given support to our efforts to see long-delayed justice done.

This past week, we were gratified by an announcement that some of the leading US Jewish organizations answered our call and have declared their support for our campaign. It's online here.

Like us, they want the United States, which is by far Jordan's most significant ally, to press the Jordanians to change their stand. Jordan still harbors Ahlam Tamimi, pointedly ignoring all questions and demands about their unjustifiable stance.  

The announcement received media coverage in the New York Times, Times of Israel, Breitbart and numerous other news platforms. It has gotten no coverage to date in the Arab world. But we think that will soon change. To stay in touch with developments, please visit our blog, This Ongoing War. And follow the This Ongoing War Twitter account 

On a painful note, we know some of the people signing our petition were asked to "chip in". That's the term change.org (the market-leading provider of petition services we chose to host ours) uses to describe donations. Frimet and I want to explain that none of those donations come to us. We certainly did not request them. And we have gotten no information about who donated. Or, of course, the donation money - which we do not need or want. (Several people made contact with us to ask if the money reached us. That's the only way we know.)

Nor have the change.org people answered any of our numerous emails. It's troubling.

If you are solicited by change.org, please ignore their requests. And if you did chip in at the time you signed, please let us know so that we can take this up with the authorities.

If you have any suggestions to share about the Extradite Tamimi campaign, please be in touch with us at thisongoingwar@gmail.com

Sincerely
Arnold Roth
Jerusalem
