Let us learn our lessons. Never, never, never believe any war will be smooth and easy, or that anyone who embarks on the strange voyage can measure the tides and hurricanes he will encounter. The statesman who yields to war fever must realise that once the signal is given, he is no longer the master of policy but the slave of unforeseeable and uncontrollable events. Antiquated War Offices, weak, incompetent, or arrogant Commanders, untrustworthy allies, hostile neutrals, malignant Fortune, ugly surprises, awful miscalculations — all take their seats at the Council Board on the morrow of a declaration of war. Always remember, however sure you are that you could easily win, that there would not be a war if the other man did not think he also had a chance.
Winston Churchill (1874-1965) British statesman and author

A quotation from La Rochefoucauld
Our readiness to think ill of people without sufficiently examining the matter is based on laziness and pride. We want to find people guilty, we don’t want the bother of studying their crimes.
[La promptitude à croire le mal, sans l’avoir assez examiné, est un effet de l’orgueil et de la paresse: on veut trouver des coupables, et on ne veut pas se donner la peine d’examiner les crimes.]François VI, duc de La Rochefoucauld (1613-1680) French epigrammatist, memoirist, noble
Réflexions ou sentences et maximes morales [Reflections; or Sentences and Moral Maxims], ¶267 (1665-1678) [tr. Kronenberger (1959)]More about (and translations of) this quote: wist.info/la-rochefoucauld-fra…

We must be content with the light that it may please the sun to shed upon us by his beams; and he who shall raise his eyes to bring a brighter beam into his very body, let him not think it strange if, for the punishment of his audacity, he thus lose his sight.
[Il se faut contenter de la lumiere qu’il plaist au Soleil nous communiquer par ses rayons, & qui eslevera ses yeux pour en prendre une plus grande dans son corps mesme, qu’il ne trouve pas estrange, si pour la peine de son outrecuidance il y perd la veuë.]Michel de Montaigne (1533-1592) French essayist
Essay (1572), “We Should Meddle Soberly with Judging Divine Ordinances [Qu’il faut sobrement se mesler de juger des ordonnances divines],” Essays, Book 1, ch. 31 (1.31) (1595) [tr. Ives (1925), 1.32]Sourcing, notes, other translations: wist.info/montaigne-michel-de/…

There is a multitude of #problems with Trump’s comments, from his #presumption that he has the expertise and jurisdiction to #judge someone else’s #identity to his argument that Harris lacks the #racialbonafides to merit the #Blackaudience members’ allegiance. But the former president’s #ramble offers another important conclusion: Trump simply doesn’t understand #race.

On #entitlement, #presumption, #fragility:
"For Jewish Zionists, the shock induced by Hamas’ breakout and attack is compounded by a sense of rage and indignation that Palestinian fighters momentarily turned the tables, piercing through Israel’s years of military siege and occupation. This [is] “the loss of the prerogative, only and always, to be the one who transgresses the sovereign boundaries of other states, but never to be in the position of having one’s own boundaries transgressed” — arguably explains why Israelis were so quick to describe Hamas’ attack as Israel’s 9/11. It explains why the reflexive response, like the U.S. after 9/11, was to exact revenge not only for the Israelis killed or held hostage but for the colonized and the occupied to dare to fight back against the oppression; to dare to transgress the besieged boundaries of Gaza and claim freedom and life."Randa Abdel-Fattah: https://mondoweiss.net/2023/12/on-zionist-feelings/ @israel

The people who most often presume to lecture me about racism are those who have absolutely no idea what it REALLY means to be a target and victim of it: White people.
To be Black in America is a daily exercise in remaining sane, patient, kind, and in repressing occasional temptations to go “Nat Turner” on ignorant, hateful people.
