Quote of the Day | 1120

The truth is that, then as now, violence in the streets is inspired by key actors, who act knowingly, and who are informed and often linked up with privileged access to media. There are agents provocateurs — preachers, journalists, politicians — who endorse behaviour by those who respect their authority. So, rather than the product of ‘ignorance’ or ‘age-old hatred’, responsibility for violence ought to be identified along lines of communication and excitation.

Miri Rubin, as quoted in ‘Past Mistakes’
