Why speak up now?

After the barbaric October 7th attack by Hamas on Israel, there was an initial outpouring of sympathy across the globe for the Israeli people. However, the tenor soon changed into hostility, with a proliferation of anti-Israel demonstrations featuring violent behavior and dangerous antisemitic rhetoric, and Jewish communities are now facing threat levels unprecedented in the post-World War II era.

The worldwide movement promoting the regressive values of the autocratic Iranian regime and its terror proxies, including Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis, is undermining the fabric of democratic societies everywhere and fomenting inter-communal strife, particularly between Muslims and Jews.

But there are other voices – voices rejecting this harmful discourse and advocating for solidarity and allyship between peoples of all faiths and backgrounds. These are the voices we must support as part of a collective effort to uphold and safeguard the core human principles of unity, mutual respect, and friendship.



How can we make these voices heard?

We must shine a spotlight on the inspiring stories of courageous activists like Anila, Ferhana, Soraya, and Zebunnesa, and so many others. Through a series of personal heartfelt videos, these women are sharing their life experiences, underscoring the values they hold dear and offering hope for a better and more inclusive global future.
