Elder of Ziyon
Al Jazeera – or at least Al Jazeera
contributor Shenila Khoja-Moolji – is desperately clueless, stumped by the question:
“Why is the West praising Malala, but ignoring Ahed?” So let’s help them out a
bit.
Malala
Yousafzai gained prominence as a teen blogger for BBC Urdu, where
she described her life under the harsh rule of the fundamentalist Islamist
Taliban. The Taliban eventually decided to target Malala. On October 9,
2012, “[a] masked gunman boards Malala’s school bus and asks for her by name. He
shoots Malala in the head, neck and shoulder.”
As far as Ahed Tamimi is concerned, masked gunmen are great.
In September, Ahed Tamimi posted a
picture of gunmen masked with Palestinian keffiyeh scarves on her Facebook page
and repeated the message written on the image in Arabic: “Tell the fighters all
over the world that they are my friends.”
So the masked gunman who shot Malala was someone Ahed would
consider a friend.
Sadly, Ahed was brought up to consider masked gunmen as her
“friends.”
Her father Bassem Tamimi has shared a propaganda video for the Lebanese
terror group Hezbollah, and his wife, i.e. Ahed’s mother Nariman, “liked” this
video glorifying Hezbollah. Ahed’s father also “likes” the Hamas-affiliated
jihadist Al-Qassam Brigades: as I documented
some two years ago, Bassem Tamimi responded with a “Like” when someone praised
a photo Ahed had posted on her Facebook page, showing her throwing rocks, with
the short comment “Good ahed” accompanied by an image glorifying the Al-Qassam
Brigades.
Then there’s the sad fact that Ahed has several relatives
who are convicted terrorist murderers – and who are greatly admired by her
family for the ruthless murders they perpetrated.
Here’s little Ahed back in 2012 when her uncle Nizar Tamimi
– the murderer
of Chaim Mizrahi – married
her aunt Ahlam Tamimi – the proud mastermind and facilitator of the 2001 Sbarro
massacre that claimed the lives of fifteen people, including seven children
and a pregnant woman; some 130 people suffered injuries; one young mother was
left in a permanent vegetative state.
Ahed’s mother Nariman Tamimi has surely taught her daughter
that ruthless terrorist murderers like her aunt Ahlam are admirable rebels.
When Malala was shot by the Taliban gunman in October 2012,
she was 15. She survived. Here you can read the
story of Malka Chana Roth, a 15 year-old girl who didn’t survive the terrorist
bombing Ahed’s aunt Ahlam Tamimi remains so proud of.
This is how the Facebook page of Ahed’s aunt Ahlam looked
before it was made private – it is adorned with images of the suicide bomber
who carried out the terrorist bombing of the Sbarro restaurant exactly as Ahlam
Tamimi had planned. Needless to say, Ahed and her parents and many other Tamimi
family members are Facebook friends with their murderous terrorist relative.
Ahed’s mother Nariman Tamimi has presumably also taught her
daughter that the murder of teen girls brings honor to the cause the Tamimis
are devoted to. In June 2016, Nariman Tamimi shared a Facebook post from another Tamimi family
member to honor the teenaged
Palestinian terrorist who had just killed the 13-year-old sleeping Hallel
Yaffa Ariel after breaking into her home. As far as the Tamimis are concerned,
the murder of Hallel Yaffa helped “to return to the homeland its
awe/reverence.”
If Malala was an Israeli Jewish girl and the gunman who shot
her was Palestinian, Ahed’s family would have cheered and considered him a hero
who brought honor to their cause.
