"What in God’s name has happened to the Jewish community, that we can sit idly by and watch a minority population being targeted in this way: dehumanized, lied about, harassed, arrested, and shipped off to 'facilities' around the country?" asks @jaymichaelson.bsky.social.
Have we become the 'ordinary Germans' now?
How can American Jews stand by while thousands of innocent people are illegally arrested, imprisoned and tortured?

But when we crave power over life—endless wealth, unassailable safety, immortality—then desire becomes greed. And if knowledge allies itself to that greed, then comes evil. Then the balance of the world is swayed, and ruin weighs heavy in the scale.
