Like many other nations, America places an enormous emphasis on freedom. We talk about its fundamentality, its enjoyment, the importance of its preservation. Special days are devoted to celebrating American freedom and language like "the land of the free" and "inalienable rights" is core to our national identity. Americans today, much more than the oppressed Jewish Palestinians of Jesus' time, can say, "We have never been slaves of anyone."
