        Henry Cadbury was a Quaker, and I'm sure he was a lovely man. But wow, was he wrong in a very familiar way.pic.twitter.com/dfj4EiPAwq

        Among the anti-fascist tactics Cadbury condemned? Boycotts. He called them "war without bloodshed."pic.twitter.com/WrzLIMmpRQ

        The conference released a statement repudiating Cadbury's both-sidesism and insisting on the moral necessity of resistance to the Nazis.pic.twitter.com/DL7idZC6ep

        (Just a note: "Israel" in the above clip doesn't refer to the nation of Israel, which didn't exist in 1934, but to the Jewish community.)

        Here's my thread of musings on the above articles, as promised.https://twitter.com/studentactivism/status/1007669523011571712 …

        So I had someone say to me yesterday, in response to this thread, that it was a strawman because we all agree that being reaching out in dialogue to Nazis is bad. A couple things on that.

        Since this is blowing up again: I included links in the above thread, but if those don't work for you, the articles discussed are from the New York Times, June 15 through 17, 1934.
