Bar Kochba, my son called Zelensky, a hero to the Jewish people, even though his rebellion caused Judea to be – a Wikipedia calls it – “depopulated.”   In any case, we seem to be completely absorbed in his heroism and the devastation it is causing.  Kids like my granddaughter are not sleeping at night around here – afraid it will reach us somehow.  I used to have Hitler dreams when I was her age, sure he would enter our home and kill us all.    This situation is much more complex, however.  If we were to give the help Zelensky needs, we would be swiftly punished by Putin, who has missiles near our borders.  Yet how can we watch silently as masses of people are slaughtered?
