- The statement does not engage in cyberbullying, harassment, or hate speech, but it does generalize about a group (Hamas) in a way that could be seen as lacking respect for the dignity of individuals within that group.Principle 2:I will respect the privacy and dignity of others and will not engage in cyberbullying, harassment, or hate speech.
- The statement does not promote understanding, empathy, or compassion. Instead, it takes a firm stance that may polarize opinions rather than foster dialogue. [-1]Principle 3:I will use my words and actions to promote understanding, empathy, and compassion.
