Biden: We Must Speak out; Silence Is Complicity
EXCERPT:
BIDEN: “And sadly, when we look around the world today, we cannot say that the specter of atrocity is behind us. We see today the patterns, the choices playing out around the world, even as we speak. The oppression and use of forced labor of the Uyghurs in Xinjiang. Treatment of the Rohingya by the military junta in Burma. The rampant abuses, including the use of starvation and sexual violence to terrorize civilian populations in northern Ethiopia. Whenever we hear that kind of poisonous hatred, wherever we see our fellow human beings being dehumanized, doesn’t mean we go to war, but we must speak out. Silence, as my dad would remind me, silence is complicity. Silence is complicity. That’s what Nuremberg said: your silence is complicity!"
