I’ve been to Morocco more times than I can count.

Every single time it does the same thing to me.

@SangitaMyska @zeteo_news This is the team the moment deserves. So glad Sangita is part of this.

@ShehabKhan Seven years interviewing Prime Ministers and you chose this. That is the most compelling endorsement Zeteo UK could have. The UK does not just need more journalism. It needs journalism that is allowed to be honest. Really looking forward to seeing what you build.

In 1962, Algeria’s Jewish and Muslim musicians were separated by exile. Decades later, elderly men reunited at the Barbican and wept.

Chaabi music held what politics couldn’t destroy.

I was in that audience. This is what I saw and why it still matters.

We all love David Attenborough’s voice, but are we actually listening to what he’s saying? This piece from @mumanize hits hard on the difference between admiring a legend and actually following his lead. 🌍🔥

[Deborah @DebbyUK]

When "leaders" finally acknowledge the displacement they have spent decades ignoring, it becomes clear that the only reliable compass is the testimony of those who survived.

Today marks Nakba Day, an annual day of remembrance to commemorate the expulsion of more than 700,000 Palestinians between 1947 and 1949 during the creation of the State of Israel and the year that followed.

Inea is a New Yorker and a Nakba survivor. She shared her story with us — one of home, tradition and memory over generations.

If the 'adults in the room' truly wanted to fix it, they would have."

We are told that caring too loudly is naïve. I’m here to argue that looking away is the real failure.

@caitoz I still don’t understand how one Semitic person can be anti-Semitic? I don’t get it how courts come to such rulings.

@VeronikaDannsk @MiGAZIN @KiarKini Sie hat Zivilcourage gezeigt, indem sie nicht weggeschaut hat und die Schaffnerin als Autoritätsperson einbeziehen wollte. Das ist mehr als die meisten Menschen tun würden.

In einem Regionalzug in Brandenburg bleidigt ein Mann zwei Frauen mit Kopftuch rassistisch – sie „sollen nach Auschwitz“. Eine Frau zeigt #Zivilcourage und will die Polizei rufen lassen. Die Zugbegleiterin weigert sich – das könne jetzt mindestens eine… https://t.co/jiMqj2yCT8

From DJs in London to tea in Cairo. The people who shared their cultures with me are now being dehumanised.

I write to remind: they’re still human. Caring about each other is never wrong.

I write because I do not forget.
The people who trusted me with their stories are being erased and dehumanised.
So I write. Even when the world doesn’t want to hear it. Especially then.

Zwei Angriffe, eine Woche. Schweinekopf, Tierabwehrspray, Einschüchterung.
Wann wird aus ‘Einzelfällen’ ein Muster? Wann wird Gewalt gegen Muslime in Deutschland ernst genommen, nicht als Randnotiz behandelt?
Die Frage ist nicht mehr ‘ob’, sondern ‘wie oft noch’

Ein Schweinekopf auf dem Halbmond, Tierabwehrspray im Gebetsraum: Zwei Vorfälle in Memmingen und Berlin stellen eine unbequeme Frage in den Raum: Wie sicher sind Muslime in Deutschland, wenn selbst ihre Gebetsräume zu Orten der Einschüchterung werden? https://t.co/uXeoTss5uZ
