From the Holocaust to October 7:

The CyberWell organization and the Civil Advocacy Headquarters join together in an exciting campaign for the International Holocaust Day that will take place this Saturday.

Three children who were abducted to Gaza and released from Hamas captivity will participate in the campaign - Dafna Eliakim (15), Ella Eliakim (8) and Eitan Yahami (12), alongside Holocaust survivor Avigdor Neuman (92).

In the video, the two organizations will emphasize the phenomenon of denying the events of October 7 and create a comparison to the denial of the Holocaust.

During the video, the children who were kidnapped and released see a video in which a content creator from abroad claims that Israel is lying and that the events of October 7 did not happen.

Holocaust survivor, Avigdor Neuman, reacts to the sadness of the three children at the denial of the ordeal they went through, saying that "there are things that cannot be erased", while pointing to the number tattooed on him.

"The new anti-Semitic discourse"

Eliav Batito, the head of the civil information headquarters, said: "Since the beginning of the war and even more so as the fighting continues - we see more and more voices around the world trying to deny the terrible disaster we experienced. Each generation rises up against us to destroy us, and unfortunately also to deny our past. About the world Recognizing the fact that denying the events of Shiva in October is an anti-Semitic act just like denying the other disasters we have experienced throughout history. There is no suitable day other than International Holocaust Day to convey the important message."

Tal-Or Cohen Montemayor, CEO of CyberWell, said: "The current campaign illustrates the newest type of anti-Semitic discourse that continues to gain momentum on social networks - the denial of the events that happened on October 7. As an organization that launched the first open platform to monitor anti-Semitism on social networks, we call For those networks to update their community rules and handle content that denies the horrific events that happened on October 7th as their policy dictates - to handle and remove content that denies and distorts the memory of the Holocaust. However, it was important for us to clarify this message beyond our professional activity and reports and clearly refine - Denying violent events directed against Jews is promoting hatred of Jews."
