TIL that after Rome declared war on Carthage (3rd Punic War), the Carthaginians attempted to appease them and sent an embassy to negotiate. Rome demanded that they hand over all weaponry; which they did. Then, the Romans attacked anyway.

"We are birthing a scary political dystopia in this, the eighth decade of the Federal Republic, and that birth is not yet complete. The constitutional protectors and the AI-assisted speech monitors have not yet scaled to the point that can they pose an equal and pervasive menace to everyone. Their repressions are rather scattershot and opportunistic, with hints of strategy but also a great deal of randomness. If you’re lucky and you have the resources, you might find a sympathetic court and land on your feet in the end, like our professor. The repressive apparatus, however, is gaining strength everyday, and who is to say how long there will still be upstanding judges anybody can appeal to in the judiciary."

"A freier, in Israeli eyes, is a shopper who waits in line to pay retail. It is a driver who searches for legal parking rather than pulling onto the sidewalk with the other cars. And if he does this in a rush to file a tax return, he is the consummate freier.
"In short, a freier is anyone who cedes ground, plays completely by the rules or allows someone to get the better of him. The ideal Israeli is clever and tough, and a freier is the opposite. A pushover--in the way that Israelis often perceive Americans to be."

It's a Sin to Be a Sucker in Israel
Fear of being seen as a freier creates an unbending approach to life--from parking to peace talks. Israelis say the desire to be tough is rooted in history of survival.
