I can’t stress enough how illuminating this is… basically, Israel has copied the French process of colonialization and violence used in Algeria. Basically, cities like Hebron and Jerusalem have been in a slo-mo Battle of Algiers for decades. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/l...

Western views of slavery in the Islamic world

Jonathan AC Brown @jonathanacbrown.bsky.social · Nov 21

Well, the easy and correct answer is that, prior to roughly 1700, there was essentially no objection to slavery as an institution. There was objection to mistreatment or enslaving the 'wrong' people, but not to slavery per se. So it was normal to condemn oppression or mistreatment but not slavery.
