Let's make this birthday one to remember.

70 years old (Born on April 01, 1955)

Happy Birthday, Daoud! Another year older and still bravely annoying politicians on both sides—truly an equal-opportunity critic. Your fearless journalism continues to inspire us all (and probably irritate a few leaders along the way). Keep speaking truth; someone's got to keep them honest!

From your insightful articles highlighting complex issues in Palestine-Israel relations, you've shown courage and integrity that never go out of style. May this birthday bring you as much joy as those moments when powerful figures nervously check their Twitter feeds after one of your sharp critiques.

Here's wishing you laughter, health—and plenty more political feathers ruffled ahead!
