It is with deep concern and an urgent call to action that we address you, citizens like us. Terrorism is a threat to EVERYONE. Its scourge is a constant threat to global peace and security, challenging the very foundations on which our humanitarian values rest.
RAQUEL SCHLOSSER, JESSICA FLEITMAN, TAMARA KOLANGUI, BETINA HAIAT
The seriousness of the existence of terrorism cannot be underestimated. Each terrorist act not only inflicts immense suffering on the communities directly affected. Terrorism is a direct affront to human dignity and the fundamental rights that we all deserve.

Isis, al Qaeda, boka haram, Islamic jihad, hezbollah (lowercase letters required), were responsible for the attack on the Twin Towers in the USA, the Atocha train station in Madrid, the kidnapping of hundreds of girls for the torture of child marriage in Africa, and from multiple attacks around the world, recently in Iran as well. They also have a presence in Latin America and links with cartels, as well as in Europe. They always attack the civilian population. From these attacks there are many families in permanent mourning, people crippled for life in soul and body. Among its civilian victims, the people we love may also be at risk.
The consequences of terrorism threats are vast and challenging; They range from the loss of innocent lives to the destabilization of entire regions. The foundations of society are shaken, and the possibility of a peaceful future is challenged.
As citizens of the world, we must be informed and actively engage in the fight against terrorism. Public awareness and global solidarity are essential to build a united front against this threat that knows no borders.
100 days ago, on October 7, the terrorist organization Hamas (lower case letters required), massacred the Israeli civilian population: babies, boys and girls, young people, women, the elderly, men; murdering, burning people alive, beheading, raping, kidnapping and torturing innocent people. They murdered 1,200 civilians face to face, with bloody hands, with their teeth; They injured 5,000 more, and those who fled witnessed the massacre of music festival youths, with the savage images recorded by themselves for posterity. They murdered babies in front of their mothers, and mothers and fathers in front of their children. Their smallest victim was a baby taken from its mother’s womb. They took babies, infants, adolescents, young people, adults and the elderly hostage. They were tortured, raped, malnourished, drugged…
By coming together as a global community, we can and must advocate for a world where terrorism has no place. The preservation of world peace and security is our responsibility as well. We are the first affected. We citizens deserve a better world.
We have lost trust in the institutions. United Nations leaders and representatives have undermined trust in our global institutions and weakened ties between nations. They have not taken decisive measures to end this danger to existence with an inoperative Security Council. It is we who must demand them and be leaders of our destiny of pacification. Institutions should protect and defend the society we want. We cannot allow terrorist movements to continue destroying our humanity.
Education and promotion of the values of tolerance and respect are powerful tools to counter propaganda and radicalization to build more just societies. The ones we deserve.
We invite you to make a commitment to address this pressing challenge, and we are confident that, together, we can build a more secure and peaceful future for generations to come.
Let’s raise our voices because silence makes us complicit.
Let’s raise our voices because we want to live in a dignified and safe world.
As a mother, fight for the human dignity of your sons and daughters. You have proof that Hamas terrorists transgressed the limits of private life, the zone that you believe is safe. Once installed, they have no limits. We have to unite. We do not want our children at risk.
As a father, I urge you to raise your voice and oppose attacks of sexual violence. You know what they are capable of! They abused the bodies of daughters and women without respect. Our offspring need a safer world, which is impossible with terrorism.
As a teacher, rebel against childhood education that promotes hatred, violence and prejudice. Promotes human dignity, tolerance and respect. It is deep prevention that we need. Invest in a future for the love of Us.
As a woman, raise your voice against the use and abuse of women’s bodies as spoils of war. Let us tirelessly demand that justice be done for Israeli women, girls and boys. Your voice will speak for those who were silenced. Support with your actions those who are at risk: us, our daughters and sons. Each one of those young women could have been your blood.
Like daughter and son, speak out for the protection of children’s rights. UNICEF did nothing for the kidnapped children. Shout and condemn immorality when depriving the freedom and torturing hostages. Terrorist groups have no place in free society.
As a young man, It’s your turn to raise your voice in memory of those who were ruthlessly silenced forever at the music festival for peace. The inhumanity against those your age has already been proven. Join groups that want a better world; Take care of your integrity and your future.
As a feminist, It is vital to defend Women’s Bodies. It condemns the silence and lukewarmness of many groups that did not speak out about the violations of Israeli women and girls. We transform language with a gender perspective to be inclusive so we cannot discriminate in our movement. Raise your voice to assert the struggle and achievements for ALL. Terrorism attacks and subjugates women, it has no borders, current history has shown it.
As a journalist, the management of the media that promotes misinformation and prejudice has been shameful and immoral. Investigate thoroughly before spreading a lie. Terrorism is strengthened when it creates division with falsifications of reality. If you want a more peaceful world, choose what unites us, not what separates us.
As a communicator of social networks, do not allow likes to outweigh the truth. Distinguish between hate speech and free expression. They are different. Hate language provokes inhumane actions. Defending the absence of anti-Semitic hate speech also means defending the free world. Use the word with respect to dignity.
As a mental health worker, you know the miserable long-term consequences of psychological and physical torture, of duels, disappearances, of sexual violence. When human integrity is transgressed, as we saw in each terrorist act, the consequences are multigenerational. We have to avoid a repetition at all costs. There is no psychology that is enough to heal the tattoo of evil.
Like people, We must be empathetic with the suffering of the victims, it is the minimum that would be expected from a compassionate and understanding society. Nothing justifies the indiscriminate attack against civilians. Let us open our hearts and remember that the ideology of terrorists devastates the civilian population without distinction.
Like grandmother or grandfather, You know from your life experience about the long-term consequences of violence. We need to shout it to protect future generations and condemn the evil planning of terrorists to leave open wounds draining pain for generations. Your voice counts because you want to see your offspring grow up.
As an activist I ask you to unite so that international organizations are placed on the right side of history, their complicity with terrorists leaves the entire free society at risk.
We must defend humanity and leave a different legacy
WE DEMAND YOU TO REPORT
EVERY TERRORIST ACT
AS A
CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY
We hope to build a peace where the voices of united citizens are raised and humanity is defended against the immoral actions of terrorism and hate speech.
Let us be the protagonists of the peace we long for,
of the justice we pursue and the respect we deserve, each person
