Lee,
Thanks for commenting! If I can gently push back on your word “boldness.” We, me included, have internalized society’s attitudes to the extent that Jews speaking up for themselves in the way that they speak up for others is seen as exceptional or (cringe) “problematic.” What’s needed isn’t so much boldness as self-respect!

I am so heartbroken lately (and today especially) I can feel paralyzed. But somehow — drawing strength from intelligent voices of reason like yours— I will continue to speak up against the insidious creep of all kinds of anti-Semitic nonsense from the most unsuspecting places. Who would have thought international human rights law, born out of the recognition of the genocide of the Jewish people, would be turned on its head less than 100 years later? Am Yisrael Chai.
