I do not believe progress is possible if our desire to preserve our identities gives way to an impulse to dehumanize or dominate another group. If our religion leads us to persecute those of another faith, if we jail or beat people who are gay, if our traditions lead us to prevent girls from going to school, if we discriminate on the basis of race or tribe or ethnicity, then the fragile bonds of civilization will fray.

"Let me be clear. Sexual and gender-based violence in conflict is not only a horrendous and life-changing crime, most often perpetrated against women and girls. It is also used as a tactic of war, to terrorize families, dehumanize communities and destabilize societies, so that they struggle to recover for years or even decades after the guns fall silent," U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said.

"To kill Gazans in the thousands, the media need to dehumanize them. Once they're labeled as 'evil terrorists,' it becomes OK for everyone to see their houses indiscriminately bombed and their kids massacred." "Stop talking about that." "Instead of asking me to stop talking about that, why don't you just ask the 'civilized people' who massacre them to stop doing what they are doing?"
