Biden and Democratic Rivals Exchange Attacks Over His Remarks on Segregationists

37. My high school history teacher once told us some of the staunchest supporters among white

politicians for civil rights had been Southern segregationists because, like converts once immersed in some evil religion, they had got an inside view.

Miko Peled, former IDF soldier, grandson of a state founder and son of a general, devotes his life
to pro-Palestinian activism. His father, disenchanted with Israel’s military policies, became a critic and a professor in Arabic literature.

One can argue about Peled’s thesis articulated in his book The General’s Son, but not with his
and his family’s sincere and passionate evolution from true believers to fierce dissenters.
History is rife with such examples.

Biden has changed too. Maybe that’s why he understands the capacity to.
