New Yorkers rally in solidarity with Ahed Tamimi
Through a bullhorn to cut through the hum of holiday shoppers, some forty people rallied in New York City's Union Square Friday night in support and solidarity for Ahed Tamimi, the 16-year-old Palestinian girl arrested by Israeli soldiers during a pre-dawn raid of her family’s home in the occupied West Bank village of Nabi Saleh. Mariah Tamimi called Ahed the best representative for her people, telling Mondoweiss, “she inspires me; and I think she inspires the rest of Palestine.”
Ahed’s detainment has sparked solidarity demonstrations across the globe, including a march in Istanbul, a protest in London and a strong statement of support from South African Parlimentarian Mandla Mandela, Nelson Mandela’s grandson.
