You needed an article to extract this point of view? All of the hand-wringing misquotes of MLK during 2020 riots didn't cover that? It's more complex as I replied above - women oppressed for generations across the Middle East with no violence to show for it.
OK, another misunderstanding on the internet then. You have had a few opportunities to expound on "what you really meant". Absent that, all I have are your words. Have a great day.
There was nothing to expound on. My words were clear and concise. The Israelis are afraid of continued attacks, so they are excessive in their actions. The slave holders were afraid of more rebellions, so they were excessive in their actions. Steve's article in a nutshell. What is your issue? Do you think that the Israeli destruction of Gaza is not excessive?
Analogies are often not persuasive, but the action/reaction of violence in the two situations does have logical merit. Fear breeds excess.

What's that got to do with anything that I wrote?
"fear breeds excess" = "a riot is the language of the unheard". etc. hope that helps.
Doesn't help at all. You're two quoted phrases are not equal and don't have anything to do with what I wrote.
