A collective of radical Black Jews, Black non-Jews & non-Black Jews challenging bullshit, building solidarity and celebrating our cultures & histories.
Our solidarity is our strength. Our unity will win. βπΏβ‘οΈ π΅πΈ
Thank you to everyone who joined us outside the German embassy last night. It was an incredible evening of defiance and learning.
Over a thousand Jews on the Jewish bloc today, proudly in our kippot and kefiyeh. Some have brought olive branches. This is the biggest it's ever been.
On the streets of London today, Jews stand with Palestine. βπΏβ‘οΈ
Hello. We were at this protest, alongside other Jews and Jewish groups. We spent the entire time being thanked for our presence, and proudly held our banner alongside our Muslim family. We are building solidarity. You are providing ideological cover for a genocide.
London today, vast numbers of people in this crowd are there to celebrate murderous depravity & to incite the eradication of Jews from Israel.
And people (pretend to) wonder why Jewish people want a home of their own.
Police are attempting to arrest Jews in prayer.
We shout βlet us prayβ for Palestine.
The police have confiscated copies of our speeches.
GET YOUR COP HANDS OFF OUR JEWISH COMRADES
For those who aren't paying attention: there is a redefinition of Jewishness taking place - at the state, political and community level - where anti-Zionist Jews are being defined out of the category of Jew.
This is part of the redefinition of Jewishness that is taking place.
Jews who oppose Israel and/or are anti-Zionist are excluded from the category of Jew, and therefore excluded from Jewish spaces/institutions & protection against state violence, discrimination and antisemitism.
The Jewish bloc is over 3000 strong today. Several Jewish BJA members have brought their parents. The shift is no longer just among young Jews: the genocide is crystal clear for all to see. Free Palestine. βπΏβ‘οΈ
The scale of Jewish solidarity on the Palestine #CeasefireNOW march today is unprecedented.
This is what @SuellaBraverman doesn't want you to see. She will never divide us.

They were scheduled to host a fundraiser for Israeli army reservists, hosted by Douglas Murray. The event was cancelled after protest, with workers refusing to staff the event despite being offered triple pay.
Shocking and disgusting they tried to buy support for genocide.
"We know this language. When we hear the language human animals, and children of darkness, we as Jews must stand on the side of freedom".

Whilst trying to do our morning prayer, protesting peacefully for Palestinians, @metpoliceuk & @BTP attempted to violently break us up and arrest those leading the prayer. It's only when we, with support from commuters, chanted "let them pray" that they stopped.
Nico Froehlich, photographer & lecturer, assaulted a Black Jewish member of BJA at the East Finchley protest this week. As she was assembling our banner, he stamped her hand to the ground, trapping her and breaking our pole. These misogynist racists don't speak for our Judaism.
