I followed a narrative dictated BY men FOR men for 7 years. I "chose it". I'd been fed lies + a body shaming narrative of covered = "virtue" vs. skin = "sinful". 2 years after taking it off, I'm still rediscovering myself, my confidence, my body. I'm 33

I used to be anti-Zionist. Whilst I meant no harm (+didn't think Israel should now cease to exist), I was ill informed+ignorant of Jewish history, the meaning of Zionism + the Israeli-Pal conflict. I now fully support Israel's right to exist + hope to visit one day

People are taught, "Zionism is evil and racist,” without being informed that people like me are Zionists because of the violent racism we have survived.

Palestinian extremists desecrate our Holy mosque and cause violent riots. Israel responds. THERE FIXED IT FOR YOU
Every Ramadan in Palestine, Israeli forces storm the most sacred mosque for Muslims in the holiest month of the year. Every year, they shoot to maim. They have specifically targeted worshippers’ eyes recently. 13 Palestinians lost eyes last year to Israeli bullets.

This is disgusting.
Three Muslim Youtubers with over 1.4M subscribers (Mohammed Hijab, Ali Dawah and Smile2Jannah) came to Golders Green (a Jewish neighbourhood) to demonise Israel.
They parked near the homes of Holocaust survivors and tormented them with this vile slideshow.
