I never want to hear another word about “why ordinary Germans didn’t do anything to stop” what was being done to Jews in the 1930s, why there weren’t massive protests against people being rounded up into camps. 1/2 All of us can do something about this. Make a donation to an organization fighting these policies & helping people. Get connected to local orgs in your community & help your immigrant neighbors. At the very least, call/write your representatives weekly to say what you think. 2/3

Lots of Muslims (including those in major leadership positions) don’t really understand anti-semitism, and say things or act in ways (sometimes out of ignorance, sometimes intentionally) that are anti-semitic.
