Remember that you don’t get Hitler without Martin Luther.
And Niemoller was a standard-issue Lutheran who wanted to see Jews eliminated, just not so much with mass murder, which was distasteful and would make Christians look bad.

It’s not about intent. It’s about effect. And this particular story is one whose effect is well documented as being deleterious towards Jews.

Why do you think lot is offered up as a role model? Did you notice Yitzach never talks to Avraham again?

Wait. So what god[s] do you believe in? Not the one Jews relate to?

Why don’t you think he’d “party” with the Pharisees. He seems to agree with Hillel a lot.
