This week, social media was filled with outrage aimed at Facebook, after a new hateful campaign was launched.
This week, thousands of Israeli Arabs and Palestinians “>but this past summer, and the 1930's have taught us that words lead to action.
We walk in a dangerous path, and we need to ask ourselves is we're willing take the risk of staying on course…Standing still is agreeing with the current situation, which is why we must fight this. Unlike 80 years ago, fighting hatred is just as easy as it is to spread it. We all have keyboards, and the “report” button is one click away. We don't need to fight hatred with hatred, for that never leads anywhere. We need to fight peacefully by letting Facebook know this cannot continue, and that the fine line between “Freedom of Speech” and “Hate Speech” has been crossed. This “Death to Jews” Facebook campaign must be a wake-up call for us. We've been waiting for “someone to do something” for too long, and now it is our turn.
We must show we are aware of the problem and that we are not willing to make it a part of our life. We must take a stand, and get our friends and family to take it with us. We must stand together and speak up. Together, united in our battle against anti-Semitism, we’ll wake up the world from a long-lasting coma and push hatred back in the shadows. We must stand our ground and fight for a better future for the next generation.
