I watched the original when it aired and even then as a teenager, I knew I was watching an extraordinary story well-written and well-acted. It remains one of my favorite original Star Trek episodes.

Credit Gene L. Coon for "well-written."

I have an old, old friend (practically a cousin) named Lisa Rich, who had some script credits on one of the later Star Trek spinoffs. one of hers was definitely based on the Israeli/Palestinian thing. it was GOOD.

I remember when Battlestar Galactica did one on the Iraqi resistance to the American invasion, with the BG people the resisters who even did a suicide bombing. Really upset the wingers.

It was. I'm going to update it and repost it on here (consider subscribing to my blog) and on Medium with a few extra notes.
