If this message had been sent by an Arab to an Israeli Jew with the reference to ‘Muslim’ changed to ‘Jew’ there would rightly be action taken and an uproar from the media, politicians and professional organisations about the anti-semitism. Yet when such Islamophobic messages are sent to Muslims, there is a deafening silence.
When politicians demonise migrants, the far right listen.
When they say refugees should be “sent back to where they came from”, the far right listen.
When they complain about asylum seekers staying in hotels, the far right listen.
Let’s promote a message of unity instead.
One that tackles the issues facing us all: the housing crisis, the collapse of our NHS and the disaster of privatisation.
One that gives hope to all communities that a fairer society is possible.
Stand up to racism. Defend refugees. Inspire belief in a better world. That is how you defeat the far right once and for all.
