I am going to mention an interesting pshat I heard in the name of the Debretziner Rav, Rav Shlomo Tzvi Strasser ztz’l. At Kablas Katorah, the nations came to Bilom complaining until he calmed them down by telling them that Hashem is giving the Jews the Torah. Why did they come? When people are in servitude and freed, they become like animals. The nations were afraid that when 600,000 Jews are freed, will turn the world over, so Bilom told them, don’t be afraid the Torah is going to calm them down. In the 60s, the civil rights given to the blacks created a revolution. Similarly when Gorbachev gave rights to the Soviets in the beginning of the 90’s giving them a finger, they wanted the whole hand. Over here it is different. They just asking for the same rights the others have and not more or less.
