The 10 Commandments: How to Read Them From a Tribalist
Perspective

(This is how the 10 Commandments read from a tribalist
perspective:)
If we apply the logic of the Book of Deuteronomy:
--- Quote ---
> "To a foreigner you may charge interest, but to your brother
you shall not charge interest, that the LORD your God may bless
you in all to which you set your hand in the land which you are
entering to possess." — Deuteronomy 23:20
--- End Quote ---
--- Quote ---
> Judaism condemns usury towards Jews, but allows it towards
non-Jews. See: Deut 23:19–20.

--- End Quote ---
(Never forget it was Jews who created the "non-Jew" distinction
in the first place!)
to the commandments they would read like this:
Thou shalt not kill your brother a Jew, but a foreigner
(non-Jew\Gentile) you may kill.
Thou shalt not steal from your brother a Jew, but from a
foreigner (non-Jew\Gentile) you may steal.
Thou shalt not covet your neighbors possessions, a fellow Jew,
but you may covet a foreigners (non-Jews) possessions.
etc....

What about the laws in the Torah concerning foreigners? There
are some laws that give amnesty and protection to foreigners.

Why is Israel barring Ethiopian Jews from immigrating?
--- Quote ---
> Thousands of Beta Israel Jews in the Ethiopian city of Gondar
are living in limbo while waiting to emigrate to Israel. Their
chances of leaving Ethiopia and joining relatives who have
already made the move to Israel are being complicated by
religious factors: Israel doesn't recognize them as true Jews
and won't let them immigrate into the country.

Just a few examples of how "foreigners" are treated in the
Jewish State of Israel in Occupied Palestine.....
"What about the laws in the Torah concerning foreigners? There
are some laws that give amnesty and protection to foreigners."
I don't know, what about them? You tell me? Perhaps you should
list them one by one and we can see how those Jewish laws apply
to the above examples?

deafening silence, harmonious discord, an open secret, and the

> Antithesis (Greek for "setting opposite", from
ἀντί "against" and
θέσις "placing") is used in writing or
speech either as a proposition that contrasts with or reverses
some previously mentioned proposition, or when two opposites are
introduced together for contrasting effect.

I wouldn't argue that The Book of Deuteronomy is an antithesis
to The Book of Leviticus and The book of Numbers....
For myself it is not too difficult to understand how Judaism can
make people schizophrenic.

You do not see the contradiction between these two ideas? Are
these ideas not in opposition to each other?

Ah, say no more. I ask because Jews, when accused of racism,
will be very quick to point out about the passages I just listed
in the Bible to make themselves look righteous even though they
willfully ignore those same passages.

I would argue that the Old Testament is one giant oxymoron at
best. At worst it's a racial doctrine masquerading as a
religious doctrine that creates a tribe in which it's own
survival is most important above all else, including being good.
Tribalists rarely care if they are good or evil, all they really
care about is the survival of the tribe. Deuteronomy 23:20
ensures the survival of the tribe, whilst Numbers 15:13 does
not. Which teaching does the Jewish tribe follow more closely,
Deuteronomy 23:20 or Numbers 15:13? Judging from the few images
and video I posted above, Jews act on the law given them by
Deuteronomy 23:20 above all else. Numbers 15:13 just becomes a
convenient smoke-screen for this fact and helps Jews confuse
non-Jews even further.
I would argue that Deuteronomy 23:20 is the primary law of the
Jewish State of Israel in Occupied Palestine, how could it not
be?

I figured it would be 'be fruitful and multiply', but I digress.
In your opinion, what is the most accurate English translation
of the Bible?
