The world is a dangerous place to live; not because of the people who are evil,    but because of the people who don't do anything about it

Stop the March of Hate on Jerusalem Day! We will be standing in protest against racism on Safra Square, in Jerusalem`s Jaffa Street, at 5:00 pm on Sunday May 17, 2015. The Flag Dance Parade on Jerusalem Day has become a focus for extremist groups, disseminating hatred, racism and violence. The march through the streets of the Eastern city, particularly in the Muslim Quarter of the Old City, is routinely accompanied by racist slurs and insults, destruction of property and physical violence against the Palestinian residents of Jerusalem. Year after year, the Jerusalem police and municipality fail to take any real steps to stop the violence and incitement. In the past stormy summer, violence and racism threatened to completely dominate and overwhelm the public sphere. This year we say a loud and clear No to the violence, the hatred and the incitement which threaten the delicate fabric of daily life in Jerusalem. This year we will manifest a significant, nonviolent presence on the street. We will remind the inhabitants of Jerusalem that there is another way. We will not stand silent in the face of racism! No to the parade of violence and incitement passing through the Muslim and Palestinian neighborhoods! Yes to tolerance and coexistence in our city!
