‘The love he gave’: Family vows to keep Sayfollah Musallet’s memory alive
Al Jazeera
Musallet, a US citizen who ran an ice cream shop in Florida, was killed by Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank.
Sayfollah Musallet was a brother, a son and an ambitious young man who was just at the beginning of his life.
That is the message his family has repeated since July 11, when the 20-year-old United States citizen was beaten to death by Israeli settlers in the village of Sinjil in the occupied West Bank.
That message, they hope, will prevent the Florida-born Sayfollah from becoming “just another number” in the growing list of Palestinian Americans whose killings never find justice.
That’s why his cousin, Fatmah Muhammad, took a moment amid her grief on Wednesday to remember the things she loved about Sayfollah.
The two united over a passion for food, and Muhammad, a professional baker, remembers how carefully Sayfollah would serve the delicate knafeh pastry she sold through the ice cream shop he ran in Tampa.
