(Jewish Group) Jewish history is repeating itself in Ukraine. This time, we must fight Putin back

2. From Rabbi Zwieback's article

In 1938, Hitler began his occupation of Czechoslovakia by first annexing the Sudetenland, claiming it as ancestral German territory. Russian president Vladimir Putin similarly set the stage for his invasion of Ukraine by backing the territorial claims of separatists in the country’s southeastern regions.

Because of yesterday’s events, the lives of more than 40 million Ukrainians — including 50,000 Jews, among them President Volodymyr Zelenskyy — are endangered.

In the days to come, we will learn more about this unfolding situation. As Jews, we have a special obligation to support members of our mishpacha, our own family. The Talmud teaches that kol Yisrael arevim zeh bazeh — all Jews are responsible for one another. (Shevuot 39a).

It's history repeating itself.
