JUDAISM DISCOVERED 477 MICHAEL HOFFMAN
"Certain industrial products were not allowed to be sold to the goyim
because of the fear that a goy would sell them back to Judaics who would not
realize that these products were defective and unfit for use. The desire to
cheat the gentile is strong. The Tannatic rabbinic tradition allows for robbery
of a gentile. This also applies to the exploitation of the gentile's mistakes and
losses and his exploitation as an employee." The prohibition on defrauding a
worker of his wages by "delaying" payment of a laborer does not apply to the
gentile.
"Since it was forbidden for a Judaic to lend money to another Judaic at
interest, certain lender-borrower exploitation was permitted between Judaics
and gentiles."
Actually Talmudists have a loophole for charging interest on loans even
to their fellow Talmudists. Such loans violate Old Testament law, so the
rabbonim call the loans by another name — heter iska — a way of arranging
a loan to look like a "business deal that is not a loan," under the Talmudic
Halachos of Ribis (laws on interest). Under the provision of the heter iska, the
loan at interest is called an "investment."
A more efficient loophole is created by incorporating. In dealing with a
Judaic corporation rather than a Judaic individual, no pretense of heter iska
is necessary. The poskim have ruled that, "A loan must have an individual
who is responsible to pay for it. When a corporation borrows, no individual is
responsible to pay for the loan. Therefore, a loan to a corporation does not
incur the prohibition of ribis, provided that no individual personally
guarantees the loan." 560 It seems that the lawyers have managed to trick
God again! In Judaism this is known as eis la'asos leHashem heifeiru
Torasecha (a bending of the rules of the Torah in order to protect it.)
The Halachos of Manslaughter: "Lifting and Lowering"
"In the formative period of rabbinic law, murderous hatred for the
gentile was strong and very little value was attached to his life. But this
desire was regulated along with rulings regarding three classifications of
Jews who were to be killed: 1. converts to Christianity, 2. spies and 3.
Heretics and Karaites. These groups (gentiles and allegedly traitorous
Judaics) were divided and governed by two categories, designated by a play
