'My biggest fear is to be kicked from my house, I totally believe that what is happening in Shaikh Jarrah will also happen to every area in Palestine. I fear losing our identity and history.' Haneen Qawasmi, Hebron, West Bank, Palestine #Palestine#Israel
Yesterday evening we heard from colleagues in the West Bank, to the religious hate at protests they said:
'We don't need that, our cause is fair, our cause is just, we don't need that, don't bring your hateful agendas to our protests'
#Palestine#Israel#WestBank
Being passionate and mobilised to call out violence, injustice, occupation and insecurity is important, and a right. But it must be done without targeting Jews and Muslims, Israelis and Palestinians with antisemitic and anti-Muslim or anti-Palestinian hate speech or hate symbols.
Here's another image that won't go viral because so many people on social media seem more invested in #Jew/#Arab hatred and violence instead of mutually assured #Coexistence in #Israel#Palestine:
This week we will LISTEN to our friends in Palestine, to the youth living in the West Bank and Gaza. No baseless political grandstanding statements from us but instead a series of responses will be shared. A time to listen not push agendas. #palestine#israel
@AlanFournier4@CharlotteFLit Men and women should have the same opportunities but obviously, there are physical differences. There will naturally be things men are better at and women are better at and naturally areas where women are at risk where men aren't.
BTV is launching a new project -Refugee Voices - with the aim of challenging far right narratives and raising awareness of the plight of refugees. Have a LOOK:

We call on @PritiPatel to:
1️⃣ #CloseTheBarracks
2️⃣ House people seeking asylum in communities
3️⃣ Commit to a vision of a fair & compassionate asylum system
We will continue to support women, but it is time for everyone to join us. It is time for change. The time is NOW.
We need a world free of male violence against women & girls, and to achieve this, we must challenge #misogyny & inequality, wherever we see it.
#ReclaimTheStreets
The BTV team have been sharing their thoughts on #feminism. We will be continuing the discussion throughout the week. Do engage with us, what does feminism mean to you? #IWD2021
