Perspectives on the 2024 General Election (26)
Tanushka Marah is a distinguished theatre director based in Brighton where she is widely respected for her work fostering community engagement through the arts. She is a British Palestinian, a socialist and an independent parliamentary candidate in the UK general election. She’s been running a vibrant campaign in Hove and Portslade, standing against the incumbent MP Peter Kyle, a staunch member of Labour Friends of Israel. On Friday June 21, she appeared alongside fellow independent candidates Leanne Mohamad, who is also British Palestinian, and Andrew Feinstein who is Jewish, at a solidarity concert in London with Roger Waters, Yusuf Cat Stevens and Lowkey.

I’m sick to death of this anti semitic nonsense. It is propoganda. We should be concerning ourselves with freedoms and equal rights of Palestinians and to stop the hatred taught in jewish schools that Palestinians are human animals, snakes etc etc.
