Among the anti-fascist tactics Cadbury condemned? Boycotts. He called them "war without bloodshed."pic.twitter.com/WrzLIMmpRQ
Astonishingly, Cadbury gave this speech to a conference of rabbis. It was not well-received.pic.twitter.com/ZR6UsYUxxP
Rabbi Stephen Wise (who would, ironically, himself be later criticized for equivocation on anti-Nazi topics) repudiated Cadbury's speech.pic.twitter.com/6Mko2b7IPE

That same rabbi on the moral and practical necessity for a diversity of tactics:pic.twitter.com/2zuIXxx3Vy

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 the original article on Cadbury's speech.https://timesmachine.nytimes.com/timesmachine/1934/06/15/110041420.html?pageNumber=15 …
And here's the follow-up article from the next day from which the rest of the above clippings were taken.https://timesmachine.nytimes.com/timesmachine/1934/06/16/94541107.html …
A nice summary of the blowup from a broader article on the conference that appeared a day later:pic.twitter.com/8rhZIxLphe
Here's to "a spirit of sterner resistance to Hitler"!
Just going to leave this here in case any of you can think of good uses for it.pic.twitter.com/LoAXCapLAn
Gonna have some more thoughts on these articles tomorrow. Stay tuned.
Here's my thread of musings on the above articles, as promised.https://twitter.com/studentactivism/status/1007669523011571712 …
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.
