Excellent point. It's like the double standard when they constantly whine about how "church leaders in Italy did not "speak out" against the Holocaust and condemn Hitler at the time he was in power. They want to "investigate" why that is, to see if we "covered up" anything.
Going by that standard, I have to wonder why leading Jewish Rabbis in the Roman Empire did not "speak out" against Christians being throw to the lions and loudly demand Nero and the rest of the Roman Emperors stop doing it.
What's that, you say? Doing so wouldn't have stopped any Christians from being executed, but it WOULD have caused the Roman Empire to promptly retaliate against the Jewish synagogues, close them down, expel their rabbis, and persecute THEM for questioning the regime?
Gosh, I still wonder why church leaders did not "speak out" against Hitler! It's a mystery!
Doing so wouldn't have stopped any Christians from being executed, but it WOULD have caused the Roman Empire to promptly retaliate against the Jewish synagogues, close them down, expel their rabbis, and persecute THEM for questioning the regime?
Jewish leaders weren't just silent.
According to the Acts of the Apostles, the rabbis and Jewish priests were trying to stir up Roman anger at Christians, goading the Romans into executing Paul, back when the Romans didn't care about Christians.
You should instead ask why many Jewish leaders in the West sent donations to the Bolsheviks all through the 1920s and into the 1930s.
Yes, even Orthodox synagogues in the West collected donations for the Bolsheviks.
Well, we know why. Jews considered the Tsar their greatest enemy, and believed the Bolsheviks would usher in a new age of universal brotherhood.
But just as any institution in the West -- Ford, IBM, etc. -- is made to apologize and donate to Jewish causes for having supported or done business with Germany during the 1930s, there are plenty of Jewish organizations that should publicly apologize and pay reparations to the victims of the Ukrainian genocide.
