Malki, 15, our oldest daughter and the middle child, had gone out with her closest friend Michal for a day of teenage fun. Born, raised and educated in Jordan, Tamimi crossed into the West Bank in 2000 at age 20 to study journalism in a Ramallah-area university. (Though it does so in a disturbingly quiet voice, the United States has declared repeatedly since then that the treaty remains in effect.) The United States provides Jordan with generous annual aid — currently about $1.45 billion and rising. The United States has never even issued a public call for Jordan to stop violating the agreement and surrender Tamimi.
