At what point does a thread get kicked down to Badlands?

Explain to me why Jews cannot charge interest on loans to other Jews; Today. Jesus didn't have a beef with capitalism because it hadn't been invented yet.

Oh it had been invented and was in wide use. It just wasn't called capitalism then. And it is true that orthodox Jewish law prohibits charging interest to other Jews but there is no prohibition to borrowing/charging to or from non Jews and paying or charging interest. But it was not interest perse' but rather cheating the worshipers at the Temple involved in that story.

I have been recently enlightened by an expert, that those Jewish interest laws were 1,000 years ago. Jewish people pay interest just like everyone else.

All Jewish people are not orthodox. But post clearly stated that Jewish people can pay interest or charge interest with no problem. They have always been able to. The orthodox do not charge interest to other Jews though.

The antisemites - with their talk of “Jew supremacy,” “Zionist tentacles,” and other atrocious terms - are descending on threads that have opened to discuss the horrible treatment of innocent American Jews, and seem to enjoy harassing Jewish posters.

Is it now the policy of USMB, given there is no more Zone 1 protections, to just allow the Jew-haters to turn threads into antisemitic propaganda tools? (I imagine some of the worst of the worst are paid by HAMAS-related organizations to spread the hate.)

Short of just advising Jews to ignore the antisemites, is there anything that can be done to make it more difficult for the Jew-haters to spread antisemitic attitudes? It’s bad enough on the streets, and liberal college campuses, but they’re invading here too.

Is he Jewish faith better than christianty since you support it sooooooo much.

Are you converting to it?

They claim to be chosen by god before your christianty…how does that work for you?

Jesus trashed the temple tables of the money lenders. That was his beef, and his crime. Should he return, he'd best not come here, or go to any other capitalist nation. Our whole system relies upon lending money, and charging interest.

Oddly, today Jews can only lend money to non-Jews. Muslims aren't supposed to at all, but apparently there are loopholes aplenty. Our whole economy is based upon usury. Jesus would not like that at all.

That is so not true. Jews lend money to whoever they want.

correction: I said I THOUGHT so, as I have never known a Jew to get a loan from anywhere other than a bank for a house, a car, whatever, and I’ve known a lot of Jews.

If there were some way for me to have borrowed money for condo #1, then the townhouse, and quite a few cars interest-free, I’m sure I would have been told about it, as would have my family members, and all my Jewish friends.

I think it’s a myth.

This is news to me, but maybe for private arrangements. I’m sure Orthodox Jews working for a bank charge the same interest rate regardless of whether their customers are Jewish or not.

That's NOT why He did what He did

People who criticize Israeli foreign policy are not Jew haters

In the thread about the brutal MURDER of the 6 hostages I looked for your post expressing sympathy or empathy. I couldn't find it. Could you direct us to your post

 

[Missourian]

In the particular incident you cited, I would say is anti-Semitic.

This is why I like you Bill.

We disagree on much...but you're honest...and that goes a looong way.

A leftist on this forum said it is Israel’s fault that the 6 hostages were murdered by HAMAS because the IDF was too slow in rescuing them.

She was warned not to put a Jew on the ticket because the Democrats have so many antisemites it could cost her the election.

Imagine….she thought a Communist would be preferable to a Jew.

Hey...that decision may keep her out of office.

Pennsylvania is a "must win" for Harris. Putting Shapiro on the ticket may have put her over the top there.

Wouldn't that be a poke in the eye for Democrats if she loses PA and the election due to the antisemitic politics of the Democrat party?

Would serve them right.

Yes, exactly what I was thinking! Her kowtowing to the antisemites in her Party by refusing to put the more logical person on the ticket because ….. no Jew boys!!…may very well cost her the election.

It is all about patterns.

When posters show a long history of ONLY demonizing the Jewish state, always supporting the terrorist acts against them, never giving them the benefit of the doubt, repeating every single Islamist lie against them and applying ridiculous one-way double standards, OF COURSE they are antisemites.

Good grief, there are ugly, ugly posters advocating killing them in one breath and denying there is anything the least bit antisemitic in such attitudes in the next.

 

[Dogmaphobe]

Whereas you see antisemitism as funny.

I do? The post you responded to--Foxy offering “good information”--made everyone crack up. There is no more intellectually dishonest poster on the internet who truly thinks her shit doesn’t stink.

 

[Dogmaphobe]

But they act like Nazis, that's kind of the point.

Somehow, I missed them loading people into cattle cars and sending them off to special facilities to exterminate them.

These sorts of outrageous, psychotic lies of yours say much about you, but nothing about Jews
