Fab review of my book on FiLiA's history. Kay Green can see my admiration for FiLiA & that my invocation of Palestine was not intended to derail it but make it more inclusive . As she says, 'Rahila didn’t throw a dead cat, she threw a live elephant.' kaygreen.blog/2025/10/30/viv…

Again- genocide is not divisive , neither is it a personal agenda.
"It is incumbent on all of us to oppose genocide and apartheid, and to stand up for self-determination." Southall Black Sisters

SBS STATEMENT ON FILIA CONFERENCE: ‘It is in this environment that women felt empowered to attack SBS members on right-wing media platforms like GB News and UnHerd as anti-semites and Hamas apologists.’@SBSisters southallblacksisters.org.uk/…
For those of you have been following the fallout from the @FiLiA_charity conference, here is the SBS statement

I was late but glad to be in time for @RahilaG, stressing environmentalism, internat'lism - and the genocide in Palestine.
"I have fought against religious fundamentalism all my life so no one needs to lecture me on the evils of Hamas.'
Ending with 'Free Palestine!' #filia2025

I can't help but break my resolve never to use X again but Julie Spin-del strikes again to teach us all that we should never let facts stand in the way of a good story @maryam_dh

trying not to use X but felt compelled to say. The fall of #Assad government is bad news for the #Rojava women's revolution. The #Islamists taking over hate everything that Rojava stands for - grassroots democracy, womens' rights, ethnic/reigious inclusivity, equality, secularism
