Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelensky has a valid point

Ukraine's president, who's of Jewish descent, urges Jews worldwide to call out how nazism is born in silence:
In a Hebrew-language post to his Facebook page, Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky on Wednesday urged Jewish people around the world to speak up as he accused Russia of of seeking to “erase” Ukrainians, their country and their history.

“I am now addressing all the Jews of the world. Don’t you see what is happening? That is why it is very important that millions of Jews around the world not remain silent right now,” wrote Zelensky, who is Jewish.

“Nazism is born in silence. So shout about killings of civilians. Shout about the murders of Ukrainians.”

He also referred to a Russian missile strike the day before on a television broadcaster building that hit near the Babyn Yar Holocaust memorial site, causing damage to the surrounding area.

“We all were bombed last night in Kyiv, and we all died again at Babyn Yar from the missile attack, even though the world pledges ‘Never again,'” he wrote.
There's a lot of validity in Zelensky's recommendations, and we shouldn't be silent when non-Jewish life is in danger either. This is exactly why such disasters continue to happen, tragically.
