    You know, I can see where you’re coming from there, but people have to resist with the tools they have at hand. I think it’s a lot more powerful sometimes to keep your resistance in the family, both literally and figuratively.

    Or Jewish friends who publicly denounce what is now clearly a genocide are to be protected and lauded, of course.

    But those who resist quietly among family and friends, also deserve our admiration. Sometimes quiet diplomacy is the most effective thing, and it’s perhaps even more brave when well meaning folk like yourself are creating these litmus tests requiring public resistance.
