The largest loss of Jewish lives in
a single day since the Holocaust
This comes during a rise in antisemitism worldwide. According to the Anti-Defamation League, following the terror attack, there has been a 388% increase in anti-Semitic incidents in the U.S compared to the same period a year ago. Unfortunately, this war is not over, as Hamas continues its atrocities, and it appears that the Iranian-backed terrorist group Hezbollah is attempting similar actions against civilians in the north of Israel.

Silence can be misinterpreted as indifference, or worse - complicity.
What followed the attack was astonishing: numerous global companies remained silent, refraining from condemning this horrifying act of terror against innocent civilians. These are the same companies that were previously vocal in their condemnation of various terror attacks, war crimes, and other instances of violent disregard of human life, issuing strong official statements and donating millions of dollars to aid local communities.
Public condemnation of terrorism is not just a matter of principle; it's a vital aspect of standing with these stakeholders and ensuring a mutually beneficial and enduring relationship.
At the 'When Silence Speaks Volumes' initiative, we firmly believe that companies must uphold ethical values and remain impartial in their responses to acts of terror against civilians. Israelis and Jews often hold pivotal positions within these companies, serving as C-level executives, employees, founders, investors, and, crucially, as customers. The global Jewish and Israeli community expects companies to publicly condemn acts of terror against civilians, recognizing that silence can be misinterpreted as indifference, or worse - complicity, speaking volumes.

condemn the hamas terror attack now
The 'When Silence Speaks Volumes' initiative collaborates with Jewish organizations and global business leaders. Together, we ask you to join chief executive officers of major global companies to condemn acts of terrorism publicly, allocate resources to support Israeli civilians, and offer dedicated outreach to assure Israeli and Jewish employees of their unwavering support.
WHAT ELSE CAN i do?
1
Issue a statement from your company that unequivocally condemns the terrorist activities of Hamas and its supporters targeting the Israeli people and clarifies your institution’s values and expectations of employees in terms of speech and conduct.
2
Ensure that your employees know exactly how and to whom they may report hate and/or bias incidents, including criminal activity.
3
Provide training to staff receiving these complaints on how to identify Israeli nationality and antisemitic discrimination and harassment, utilizing the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definition of antisemitism.
EMPLOYEE, Has your company yet to address the Hamas terror attack against Israel on October 7th?
