QOTD: Bret Stephens -- 'Tolerance' Is Not the Lesson of Kristallnacht

Bret Stephens in the WSJ:

So here we are, 70 years after Kristallnacht, as good an example as any of what happens when the evil of the few (or, perhaps, not-so-few) takes advantage of the cowardice of the many. [He mentions European capitulation to Islamo-fascism.] If there's a lesson here, it's in the need not for "tolerance," but for moral courage. Now as before, Europe finds it in short supply.
