"What we choose to emphasize in this complex history will determine our lives. If we see only the worst, it destroys our capacity to do something. If we remember those times and places — and there are so many — where people have behaved magnificently, it energizes us to act, and raises at least the possibility of sending this spinning top of a world in a different direction. And if we do act, in however small a way, we don’t have to wait for some grand utopian future. The future is an infinite succession of presents, and to live now as we think human beings should live, in defiance of all that is bad around us, is itself a marvelous victory."

In a time and place with suffering, conflict, and pain, there are hurt people who hurt people.
For those who think critically, the choice is clear: avoid standing with the ones doing the harm.

"The day will come when our silence will be more powerful than the voices you are throttling today."
The last words of August Spies, with a noose around his head.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/August_Spies
Note: Wikipedia says he was found guilty of throwing a bomb. Howard Zinn says it was a stick of dynamite and he was still on stage when it happened. It was a show trial.
