I could have been Hamas. That was the person that they raised me to be. When October 7 happened, it was so traumatic for me, because it was not just seeing innocent beautiful people being slaughtered. My friends and co-workers, the Jewish people that I learned to love could have also been slaughtered. And more than that, it was the moment that I realized that the Holocaust was real. Because my entire life the only thing that I learned about the Holocaust was that it was ”Jewish propaganda” and it never happened. But then when I saw the slaughtering that happened, everybody clapping – people in New York, London, Malmö, celebrating the murder of Jews. That’s when it clicked for me. Suddenly all the brainwashing ended and I realized this deep antisemitism that lives not just where I come from but also in Europe and the West. I have visited Israel twice and I am in love with Israel, Jews and Israelis. I cannot tell you enough how much I love my Israeli and Jewish friends that I have made since October 7, and before. And I have promised to argue with my family and friends every day because they hate and don’t understand Israel. And even though I have lost many friends and family members, I have said that I will spend the rest of my life showing the truth of my Jewish and Israeli friends.

Coming soon 👀 If we want to end homelessness, we need to improve understanding, encourage empathy & inspire optimism that it’s possible to end it. That’s why #Homewards will launch an art exhibition at the Saatchi Gallery & will also be the subject of an @ITV documentary.
