Let's make this birthday one to remember.

53 years old (Born on December 29, 1971)

Happy Birthday, Ali Abunimah! Another year older and still causing trouble—sorry, I meant "raising awareness." Your fearless voice continues to inspire us all. Whether you're passionately tweeting truth bombs or eloquently dismantling misinformation on air, your dedication never goes unnoticed.

From serving as Vice President at the Arab American Action Network to tirelessly advocating for Palestinian rights through journalism and activism—you've certainly kept busy making headlines (and probably giving a few politicians headaches). May this birthday bring you plenty of cake, laughter, and perhaps even one day without having to explain geopolitics. Here's hoping—but we won't hold our breath!
