Action Days countering Antisemitic Hate Speech

On the occasion of the Action Days countering Antisemitic Hate Speech, the No Hate Speech Movement is calling for civil society organisations, youth organisations and governmental institutions to join our efforts to counter the increasing antisemitic hate speech and to speak up for diversity and Human Rights as basic values of peaceful democratic culture.

Please join the Action Day by sharing this image on your social media channels and website.

No Hate Speech Movement

"Hate speech, as defined by the Council of Europe, covers all forms of expression which spread, incite, promote or justify racial hatred, xenophobia, anti-Semitism or other forms of hatred based on intolerance, including: intolerance expressed by aggressive nationalism and ethnocentrism, discrimination and hostility against minorities, migrants and people of immigrant origin."

(Don't read the comments to this on YouTube: they are of course mostly ignorant hate from the very bullies the movement seeks to reeducate).
