Steve Q, brilliant connection between Nat Turner’s rebellion and Hamas’. Both then and now, a faction of the disenfranchised population, living in intolerable conditions, responds violently. And now as then, a ruling party responds murderously to murderous rebellion. I did not see this intersection of the two. Nice.

Ye old “Give me liberty, or give me death” of 1775 Rebel Virginia should have been in living memory of 1831 Slaver Virginia but, Alas! The purblind exercise of Confirmation Bias always relegates the other guy to having flawed character while I, myself, has no other choice but the obvious.
And tourists of “us and them” conflict don’t need to cross oceans for this benighted view. They can can simply look across the kitchen table at an ungenerous spouse or a river like the Rio Grande.
