Welcome to Diversity Lens.
Diversifying your news consumption.

Lockdown has meant an increased amount of time dedicated to social media, and with it, increased engagement in current events. From documenting instances of police brutality; to covering multiple causes of public protest, social media has magnified this coverage.

However has more coverage desensitised us to these events or has this increased visibility applied more pressure for our society to change?

In our featured story below, we touch on the most concerning story dominating public attention right now, spurred on by social media outrage - and rightly so. But what we mustn't forget is to educate and inform ourselves & others, and not stop at performative action through clicks alone.

We must put in the work and guard against all oppression - read on to make a start.

A common theme in the media reporting of the situation in Gaza comes with using the misnomer ‘conflict.’ What is happening to the people of Palestine is violent oppression, not conflict. There’s systemic military violence on one side, and civilian lives being lost on the other.

The nation-state of Israel and the Jewish people are not inseparable, significant numbersfrom the Jewish community condemn the actions of Israel and stand in solidarity with Palestine. The wave of antisemitism that coincided with the Palestinian solidarity protests in the UK is unconscionable. We stand in solidarity with Palestinian and Jewish people while condemning the violence perpetrated by Israel.

While the ceasefire agreed to overnight is a relief, it is not a solution to the long-term oppression of Palestinians.

Our featured article details ways in which you can be an ally against oppression and avoid the pitfalls of antisemitism and islamophobia.
