Person of the Year 2025

Ahmed al-Ahmed

While everyone, everywhere was taking this side or that on one or more of the holier than thou debates surrounding politics, religion, war, ethnicity, morality, real-estate, and/or global oblivion, this 50-year-old Syrian Muslim man took it upon himself to disarm one of the terrorists who was on a murderous rampage at a Hanukkah celebration on Bondi Beach, Australia.  Fifteen people died and another 40, including Ahmed were wounded.  Wake up people! If you need to take sides, join Ahmed’s side.  It’s time we all started thinking about saving the world as opposed to our own little acre of righteous indignation (a.k.a. the wrong side).
