She and her husband are second cousins, as so often is the case in that part of the world, both members of the infamous al-Tamimi clan from the village of Nabi Salih — near Ramallah in the West Bank — that has for several generations waged war, both kinetic and propaganda as opportunity and individual temperament require, against Israel’s Jews. Dear Ahlam al-Tamimi regularly worked as a scout and escape driver for Hamas, then moved in front of a TV camera to report on the exciting events she had just been involved in. She was serving sixteen life sentences for mistress-minding the Sbarro caper when she along with 999 others was traded for Gilad Shalit, the IDF sergeant kidnapped by Hamas. Possibly husband/cousin Nizar Tamimi is also a Hamasnik, but other relatives belong to Fatah or the PLO in general, so there are lots of possibilities.
