Right so by the time 1943 Rabbis' March it wasn't an issue anymore.
Correct. Many nazis were long deported by then. Once we were attacked Germany became the enemy. Wasn’t anything going to fuel nazism. And 10 years earlier, Jews just being alive was enough to fuel the hatred.

There different viewpoints on this. Here’s one I’ve come across recently from a surprising (to me) source.

I think it’s called לב איברא or something else איברא

Somewhere else he writes that the capture of Eichman was a mistake as it was too ostentatious.

The secular Jews did not want to draw any attention to themselves from any gentiles, nothing to with Nazis, specifically.

Right. So it would be ridiculous to draw a parallel between their opposition and those worried about stoking the hatred of Palestinian supporters.

I don't understand any of this comparison conversation. This country is not the nearly the same as it was in the 40's, the Jewish demographics (size, religious affiliation, place in society) aren't anything alike, and the situations (Holocaust vs Hamas) are not even remotely similar.

In general, arguing hashkafa when we all follow our individual Daas Torah is stupid. We don't make the calls, we don't set the rationales, and we don't get to choose whose guidance anyone else decides to follow. There's no right or wrong. Consider it like rice on Pesach or tefilin on Chol Hamoed. Accept that there are other opinions that you don't follow and move on.

In other news, the live feeds from Gaza City are showing the city more blacked out than ever before, and extremely heavy bombardment in a bunch of places around the city.

Rav Yitzchok Sorotzkin implied that the very notion of a rally is treif as the message from Hashem is to focus spiritually.
Certainly fair to point out that they rallied Washington during the Holocaust.

Who is they and what does that have to do with him and his opinion?

Lots of big Rabbis check it up. It’s unlikely that he’d claim to disagree with them.

He's disagreeing with a lot of big rabbis right now. And as I said before:

As said before, there were no blue and white flags around the last time
And it will be very hard to compare this rally to what happened in 1940 in many ways
