Public Letter to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
Subject: A Call for Accountability and Ethical Leadership
Report:
Prime Minister Netanyahu,
I am writing to you with a deep concern for the words and actions you have chosen as the leader of Israel. In times of crisis, the power of language cannot be underestimated, especially when wielded by those in positions of influence. Your words reach millions, shaping perceptions, policies, and the actions of those who follow you. As a statesman, you hold the responsibility to speak in ways that foster peace, unity, and mutual respect. Yet, your rhetoric too often incites division, promotes fear, and appears to legitimize aggression—particularly in your references to Palestinians, whom you regularly label as collective threats, "terrorists," or existential dangers.
The language you use—vague yet powerful, and coded to imply the vilification of entire communities—is a form of incitement. When you use broad and dehumanizing terms to describe Palestinians, you strip them of their individual humanity, painting them as a monolithic entity aligned with violent groups like Hamas and Hezbollah. This rhetoric is more than just imprecise; it is dangerously inflammatory. When you equate an entire population with terrorist organizations, you give implicit permission to others to view them as enemies, fueling hostility that has real, devastating consequences.
The repercussions of such language are clear. By consistently portraying Palestinians as inherent threats to Israel's existence, you foster a culture where violent solutions appear justifiable, even necessary. This rhetoric alienates, divides, and dehumanizes. It undermines any pathway toward coexistence, making diplomatic and humane solutions to the Israel-Palestine conflict increasingly out of reach. You amplify fear and hatred among Israelis and legitimize hardline attitudes, all while pushing peace further away.
Moreover, this rhetoric damages Israel's standing in the international community. Organizations worldwide—from the United Nations to major human rights groups—condemn this language, recognizing its role in perpetuating human rights abuses. Allies and partners alike have raised concerns over how your words stoke a conflict that requires, instead, compassion, restraint, and visionary leadership.
Prime Minister Netanyahu, leadership of a nation should not be used to incite violence, whether directly or through veiled language. I urge you to consider the ethical weight of your words, to refrain from divisive and coded speech, and to use your platform to inspire peace and understanding. A true leader seeks to protect all people, both within their borders and beyond, from a language of harm.
History will remember those who sought to build bridges over those who burned them. Will you choose to be remembered as the leader who spoke for peace, inclusion, and security for all people, or as one who used his voice to foster division, aggression, and exclusion?
For the sake of the future, I implore you to choose wisely. The power of your words can change the course of this conflict—either toward enduring peace or continued suffering.
With firm expectation,
Marie
