Only the episode is new. People have hated and killed people since Cain hated and killed Abel. We are mystified when one people hate another people for hundreds of years. Most of the world's enduring hatreds are centuries old. One wonders if anyone consumed by these hatreds knows why he or she hates.
Most enduring hatreds are older than our nation, culture, and society.
Not even our hatreds are that old. Hate exists in America just as it does anywhere else. Horrible images from Kosovo flow through our televisions. Villages bombarded and burned. Women, children, and the elderly fleeing.
