Then there came to power in Egypt a new king .... ‘Look,’ he said to his subjects ‘these people, the sons of Israel, have become so numerous and strong that they are a threat to us.
We must be prudent and take steps against their increasing any further, or if war should break out, they might add to the number of our enemies. They might take arms against us and so escape out of the country.’
Accordingly they put slave-drivers over the Israelites to wear them down under heavy loads. ...

I draw no conclusions, I make no comparisons, I have no point.
These two tidbits of my day's reading just popped out at me, is all, so I'm just sayin'.....
