    You don’t like me, I’m Pro Palestinian. You’re also talking to someone that grew up in a border state reading all the history books the state told us not to read because they’re “embarrassing.” I’m keeping it simple for the foreigners. And hanging them, even if it was just the body made the noose an effective icon. So much so the the KKK took to leaving a noose in a nearby tree as a warning, and they still do it. Anyone who wants to be super literal can go look at Emmett Till’s face.
