dont be like the german obedient jews that were led to the slaughter & respected authorities because they said something, there is a time in place to be quiet & a time to scream & shout & DO. Now is time to take action in the most civilized way possible
That is not a clean comparison for many reasons:
1) The Jews during WWII could not have fought. Would not have helped. The Nazis Yimach Shemam didint ask nicely.
2) The more you try to be like the goyim the more they hate. Please read Divine Fury by Harav Avigdor Millet Zatzal.
3)this wasn't the most civilized way possible. It was done very low class.
4) our lives are not being threatened. There is no hatzolas nefashos. The fireworks are an annoyance.
5) Protesting like this is uncalled for for such a trivial issue. Based on watching videos and speaking to people who went many protested "for the fun of it." "Its a matziv"
Back to what you said about German jews: the Nazis were animals. No opportunity to fight. Those who originally asked the question - why didint they fight? - were not frum torahdik people. Those who were there do not ask the question.
I wouldn’t compare the 2
But there is a time and place for everything, back then, the rabbis marched in Washington DC. This time around it’s being led by young politicians and “askanim” while veteran askanim, politicians and rabbanim are quiet. I’d be a little wary of this movement, even though I agree with them
As you said "Dont compare the two" :
The Rabbis march on Washington was a revverved dignified Rabonim walking respectfully, saying tehillim, davening, respectful speeches.
Do you think [insert name of European Rosh Yeshiva Here] carried scribbled signs, tooted horns or screamed and chanted?
As you pointed out look at who organized that march vs who organized this one:
Do you think the guy giving a speech is soooooo impassioned by the fireworks issue that he spontaneously ran to Gracie Mansion and needed to give a speech? He is a want to be politician hoping to get famous. (Or as DDF would say ___Made It!")
There is a reason that no daas torah endorsed this.
