Utterly insane spite. It wasn't even some great boon to France; a year or two of the French government's income gouged out from Haiti over the course of 50 years. But it was crushing to Haiti.

That's just so sad and unnecessary. Some Netanyahu type level of spite.

Netanyahu would be celebrated if he was born 200 years ago as a European colonizer. Knowing that it probably part of what keeps him motivated to commit mass murder.
