Loading ...Happy Birthday and Freedom to Imprisoned 14 Year Old, Ahmad Manasra!
We at Arab America planned to join activists who intended to light up 14 candles in front of the White House today in a peaceful demonstration for Ahmad Manasra who was alleged to carry a knife in Jerusalem.
He was shot, interrogated, brutally tortured, and thrown in Israeli jails to be sentenced when he turns 14.
We got snowed in because of the DC snow storm and never got to the birthday party for Ahmad in front of the White House. We weren’t even able to stop at a bakery and pick up a cake for Ahmad.
However, we are home and were able to salvage ingredients from our cupboard and make him a cake from scratch. We substituted milk for the almond milk; and when we ran out of the decorating icing, we used, with difficulty, Nutella and food color.
Dear Ahmad, 14 candles are lit for your happy birthday today and hope for freedom to you and to all the children of Palestine!
Our hearts are with you all!
