It means if you don't do anything while someone or something is being let say hurt, you are really helping the person hurting that thing. You may not want to pick sides but by not picking a side and doing nothing, you are letting that thing get hurt, so in the end you are on the bully persons side.

Wiesel argues that it is necessary to stand up and intervene when human lives are at risk, even if it requires disrupting the status quo.
