Re: The situation in Israel and Gaza
Near the fall of the Roman Empire, Roman citizens were not willing to join the legions to defend Rome. The legions became largely composed of men from less civilized people. It didn't work out well. The Roman Senate was corrupt, with the senators concerned mainly with getting rich from bribes. The plebeians were kept entertained with free bread and 'circus' the Colosseum 'games'. It all ended in blood and fire. Knowing history can be frightening.
