What If Silence Isn’t Indifference?

The message they typed… but never sent.

What if we’ve been getting silence wrong? When a friend says nothing about antisemitism, Israel, or the war, it’s easy to assume they don’t care. Silence feels like absence. It feels like distance. It feels like indifference. But what...
