In the name of God, the Most Gracious,

the Most Merciful, after our patience has run out and we are weary,

as the calamity has grown grave and immense

And in light of what our society is witnessing,

with the spread of the cancer of deadly violence that is reaping the lives of

the innocent and leaving torrents of blood, the time has come to say enough,

a thousand times enough

The time has come for our voice to be heard and to convey our society’s pain to the

decision- makers and to public opinion, affirming that our firm stance,

without fear or dread,

is against the violence that does not distinguish between one blood and another,

or between a person and his fellow human being

We call on you all to take a share of social responsibility

by participating in the protest vigil denouncing crime and violence,

which will be held tomorrow evening, Saturday, the thirty- first of December,

in Tel Aviv, attracting everyone

who believes in the importance of safety and the sanctity of life
