#standuptohatred

Bystanders enable injustice. On October 7, thousands watched or celebrated as Hamas paraded hostages. Many hostages were held in plain sight of civilians, doctors, and aid workers—yet no one intervened. Even the Red Cross legitimized Hamas’s abuses.

Beyond Gaza, silence has echoed worldwide. Friends, acquaintances, and even family members have ignored the atrocities, the hostages' suffering, and rising antisemitism. Whether out of bias, fear, or indifference, inaction makes them complicit.

Silence is a choice. Speaking up is a responsibility.

My name is Mohammad, and I’m reaching out in a moment of desperate need. I’m a father of three young children living in Gaza, and we are caught in the midst of a catastrophic war. Our home is no longer a safe haven, and the future here seems increasingly uncertain. 💔

I’ve launched a fundraising campaign with the goal of raising $40,000 to relocate my family to a safer place where my children can grow up in peace and have a chance at a brighter future. 🕊️🇵🇸

Unfortunately, my previous fundraising efforts were abruptly halted when my account was terminated without explanation. However, I remain determined to keep fighting for my family’s safety and well-being. 🫶

If you could take a moment to read our story, consider donating, or simply share our campaign with others, it would make an incredible difference. Every act of kindness, no matter how small, brings us one step closer to safety and a new beginning. 🙏

Thank you for your time, compassion, and support. ❤

On August 4th, New York University (NYU) condemned the American Anthropological Association’s (AAA) discriminatory efforts to boycott Israeli academic institutions.

“It is regrettable that the AAA, a scholarly organization meant to promote the advancement of knowledge throughout the discipline, an organization that has reaffirmed its commitment to academic freedom, has taken a step seemingly at odds with those objectives.”

Thank you, NYU, for your concrete efforts to stand up to hate.

William, Prince of Wales strongly condemned antisemitism during a visit to the Western Marble Arch Synagogue in London today (February 29th).  NOW is the time for global leaders to unite in solidarity against all manifestations of hate, including anti-Jewish bigotry.

Record-high antisemitism in the US

A recent report from the Anti-Defamation League revealed a heart-wrenching 3,697 antisemitic incidents reported throughout the United States in 2022, a staggering 36% increase from the previous year and the highest number ever recorded. These figures are not just statistics, but represent a wave of anti-Jewish hatred and bigotry that threatens the very fabric of society.

Over the weekend, 2 California synagogues were evacuated during Shabbat due to ongoing online troll attacks involving fake bomb threats. This marks the fourth consecutive week of such incidents, with a total of 26 congregations across 12 states targeted.
