.@BBC insisting on reporting racist rioters as 'protestors' and 'demonstrators' is a gross misrepresentation of the violence impacting communities of colour across the UK. Language matters.

“Protests”. You keep saying “protests” @BBCNews - do you mean white supremacists are on the streets terrorising Muslims? What exactly are they “protesting” against?

How they carry on in so much pain and grief I don't know. They are heroes beyond any I've ever known of.

Today is #EqualPayDay, the day when, because of the gender pay gap, women overall in the UK stop being paid compared to men.

That very London moment. Heading to the march. Run into my Somali neighbours, both carrying Palestine flags. We walk to the bus stop and the Ukranian lady who lives down the road is also heading there. Finally a woman almost in tears. She’s a Kosovan refugee and lost family there

I always have and always will stand against antisemitism. I'm so angry that I have to keep saying that every time I express my despair and grief at this genocide. I'm so angry at all these attempts to divide us. I am so angry and so sad. We have failed so badly.

The narrative people are pushing is that this is about Muslims vs. Jews. It is absolutely not. This is not a religious conflict. This is about colonisation, occupation, and genocide. Which is why there are various Jewish orgs and Jewish people protesting against Israel.
