Another Question About Rights

Published by

on

I have explained at great length why the formula “XYZ entity has a right to ABC action” is shallow and childish. I have explained that it holds no interest to me by virtue of its superficiality.

There are only two possibilities why you would want to keep trying to engage me in a conversation that I clearly and repeatedly dismissed as being too primitive for my liking:

A. You do not have the intellectual capacity to understand my explanations.

B. You are trolling.

You have my sympathy whatever the option closest to the truth.

To people who can understand, I want to propose an exercise. Whenever you start formulating a thought about rights, try to see if you can express your idea without using this word. “Rights” has become a lazy substitute for an amalgamation of concepts that nobody wants to untangle because there are inconvenient things hiding in there.

If you want to explore this further, you can’t do any better than reading Christopher Caldwell’s The Age of Entitlement. He talks about how the spread of invented “rights” eviscerated the US Constitution. Or at least, read this post from when I was talking about Caldwell incessantly. We do not need to invent the wheel when others have done it a long time ago.

    Who determines who does and does not have rights? LOL An absurd question. Each and every nation determines the “rights” that their people have. Just that simple.

        Learning to do mitzvot דאורייתא ודרבנן לשמה – Hearin defines Kabbalah.

        The key Kabbalah term of reference “Shekinah/Divine Presence” refers specifically to Jewish observance of “time oriented tohor commandments”. מעשה בראשית//the continual act of Creation … doing טהור זימן גרמא מצוות לשמה. Everything else, simply trivial commentary; swearing a Torah oath has the power to continually Create the Universe from Nothing, in all times and generations, which the Jewish people walk before our God, throughout the Ages. Some refer to this concept – as the mitzva of Moshiach.

        Hence the first word of the Torah בראשית, contains within its 6 letters (The Mishna has 6 Orders), ברית אש. The first Parsha of בראשית, followed by Parshat נח. False oaths created the Floods from nothing! Hence the opening blessing prior to doing tohor time oriented commandments like: just one example: kre’a shma, twice emphasizes: תמיד מעשה בראשית. Torah oaths breath the Spirit of the Shekinah Divine Name – this defines the extreme dangers to the אש/Fire of the ברית – sworn alliance. Moshe referred to this Brit responsibility as: Blessing or Curse – therefore (this term implies swearing an oath) choose Life rather than Death.

        The UN stands upon absolutely no foundation of merit. The morality of both Xtian new testament and Muslim koran – fundamentally cracked and worthless. Why the feminine form for Divine Presence? Because the כלל: זימן גרמא מצוות learns from the בנין אב specific “precedent” of תפילת ערבית … a רשות מצוה – as – the מצוה של קידושין or קריא שמע or תפילין or שבת וכו, all these Torah examples exist as tohor time-oriented commandments, which breath the Spirit Name, which the Kabbalah refers to as the Shakinah.

        These, רשות mitzvot, meaning: tohor time oriented commandments – include not only all the 613 Written Torah commandments, but inclusive likewise, all the Talmudic halachot. Both Written Torah commandments and Talmudic Halachot, they all have the רשות potential – of tohor time-oriented commandments. This most holy of holies of Torah commandments, absolutely require, the רשות, of doing this most holy of Holy Torah commandments – breathing the Spirit of k’vanna לשמה. Doing mitzvot with k’vanna לשמה, this unique most holy of Holies separates these t’rumah tohor time oriented commandments Torah commandments, specifically designated during a huge crisis, like Moshe going down to Egypt to bring up Israel from Egyptian slavery, as רשות מצוות. For women to do tohor time oriented commandments – a רשות and not a חיוב. Hence the key Kabbalah term: Shekinah.

        Post Shoah, guilty Xtians have no shame. Their Revisionist History, just a pile of shit stacked upon more stinky shit. Their repulsive new testament Revisionist History shares no portion with the T’NaCH prophetic mussar. Never once do these religious abominations of avoda zarah – new testament or koran – ever bring the revelation of the Name – revealed within the 1st Sinai commandment; the Greatest Commandment — in the whole of the Torah revelation at Sinai –which the Goyim never accepted and therefore they worship other Gods — the 2nd Sinai commandment — which the Goyim never accepted. Notions of some Universal God/Monotheism Creed theology belief system – this Av tumah avoda zarah – it defines the Av tumah practiced by the belief system driven theologies of both Xtian and Muslim barbarians.

        Tumah, expressed through the Muslim koran which absolutely forbids a Muslim to eat pork flesh but permits camel! Despite the Order of camel which precedes pig, in the forbidden foods listed within the Torah.

        The רוח הקודש\Holy Spirit/ which live eternally from within the language of Mussar prophetic משנה תורה\common law/ of the Hebrew T’NaCH. This tohor Spirit breathes and lives within the hearts of the Jewish people alone, in all generations. The Av tumah avoda zarah Nicene Creed theology, established in 325 CE, equal to tits on a boar hog when the piglets squeal from hunger for their mamma’s milk.

        The 1st Commandment Name – this Av tohor living Spirt – NOT – a word translation. Any more than does the word “Blue” define the quality or essence of any shade of colour category! Translating the Divine Spirit Name, revealed in the 1st Sinai Commandment, from this Divine Name Living Breathing Spirit, to a Word, which the lips of Man can easily frame or pronounce …. herein defines the substance – as opposed and contrasted by – the forms of faith, commonly known as the Sin of the Golden Calf. THE Torah definition for avoda zarah – the 2nd Sinai commandment.

        Goyim never accepted the revelation of the Torah at Sinai. They share no portion with the T’NaCH spirituality which determines לשמה the culture, customs, manners, ways, practices — in short the halacha and minchagim practiced by the Jewish people throughout all generations. Hence: תמיד מעשה בראשית. Herein defines the k’vanna of the revelation of Torah and Talmud Written and Oral Torah as one unique revelation of Torah faith.

    Consider the US Constitution vis a vis the illegal aliens pouring across the borders. Does the Bill of Rights apply to non-citizens? No. The innovation which rejected Feudal Lord/serf relationships unto Citizens of the United States (Americans rebelled over the issue of taxation without Representation), whereas serfs basically had no rights – citizens protected by the Bill of Rights.

    The Bill of Rights compares to Insurance. If a person does not pay for Insurance, that person cannot demand that some Insurance company pay his expenses after a car accident or his house burns down etc. Stateless refugees and illegal aliens, neither this nor that have rights.

      That would make sense. But in reality we see something very different. Illegal migrants get every possible protection in the courts of law, in their encounters with police, in access to free healthcare, and so on. Free lawyers are provided. Free medical care is provided. Food stamps, debit cards loaded with funds. Theoretically, it’s as you say but in practice, we all know it’s not. Americans can’t tolerate seeing women give birth in the streets, as an example, so Americans will provide.

        The Courts in the US as corrupt as the Federal bureaucracy. Nothing comes “free”. Universal State regulated and enforced insurance for healthcare results in a nation that suffers from poor health and pays a large portion of their wealth but receives little or nothing in return.

        Muslims- If I admit to the flaws and racism in Zionism, will you admit to the flaws of honor killings and misogyny?

        Zionism – Israeli nationalism. Humanity has its flaws and racism. Islam just flat out avoda zarah -worship of other Gods.

        Idolatry? I’m not a Muslim but I guess they could return the judgement back to you since most despise Zionism and Zionists.

        I don’t despise zionism ( most of my family is Jewish) however i recognize that israeli nationalism has problems. Although Israelis and Israel have the right to exist. What I disagree with is the jewish law of return to haaretz- prejudiced and outdated. I also disagree with the occupations that started in 1967 and I disagree with people who claim it is Jewish land first. It is Jewish and Christian and Muslim land. All deserve it equally.

        Idolatry a Xtian mistranslation (bad translation) for avoda zarah. The 2nd Sinai commandments which both Xtian and Islamic faiths rape … Monotheism explicitly violates the commandment against the worship of other Gods. Pesach approaches, the spilling of the 10 drops of wine a משל to the plagues. The נמשל of the plagues??? The Gods worshipped by Par’o and Egypt.

        The avoda zarah of Monotheism in its multiple facets: (Let’s Make a Deal) Curtain #1 Xtianity with its Trinity mystery. Curtain #2 Islam with its strict Monotheism of Allah. Curtain #3 Hinduism with its multiple and or multitude of Gods. All three options – avoda zarah Av Tumah death.

        The 30 year war which culminated in 1648, the same year as the Cossack pogroms in the Ukraine and Poland Catholics slaughtered Goyim & Jews living in Germany (cause they were there) because they called the cruxifics of JeZeus on the cross – an idol. And Germans slaughtered Goyim & Jews (cause they were there) in France, Spain and Italy because they adored “idols” of JeZeus on the cross and statues.

        The Torah defines the 2nd Sinai commandment as: A)) assimilation to the cultures and customs of Goyim (Like as did the Jews living in Spain during the ‘Golden Age’.) B)) intermarriage with Goyim who never accept to this day the Revelation of the Torah at Sinai. [Neither the Xtian bible abomination nor the Muslim koran abomination brings the שם השם. Translating the רוח הקודש שם השם to words, duplicates the sin of the Golden Calf!

        The so called 10 commandments, the Torah speaks in the language of Man. After the 2nd Commandment Israel (They ignored the warning of Moshe and had sex with their wives prior to the revelation of the Torah at Sinai. Hence they feared they would die.) demanded that Moshe rise up and receive the rest of the Torah! So why the 10 commandments in the 2nd and 5th Books of the Torah?

        Torah Law – Common Law. The Hebrew for Common Law: משנה תורה, the name for the 5th Book of the Book of דברים! Common Law stands upon a case comparison study of precedents. The Hebrew for precedents: בנין אב. A key set of middot in the 13 middot of Rabbi Yishmael’s logic. (After reading the korbanot in the Siddur you will see rabbi Yishmael’s 13 middot which include two references to בנין אב.) The Rambam code did not know the kabbalah of Rabbi Akiva’s פרדס. This logic system affixes to the loom of the Talmudic fabric – the warp/weft threads of halacha and aggada which intrinsically relies upon the 13 middot rules of rabbi Yishmael’s logic system/format.

        The Torah defines prophesy as mussar commanded by prophets. Tumah witchcraft predicts the future. Tohor prophetic mussar applies straight across the board to all generations of Israel. Prophets command mussar they do not predict the future as the gospel roman counterfeit declares. The koran avoda zarah, Muhammad wrote prophet about every 7th word! Yet that book of avoda zarah failed to know how the Torah defines “Prophet”.

        The mesechta of בבא קמא refers to religious rhetoric as a mountain hanging by a hair. Specifically, all the Torah commandments דאורייתא ודרבנן they all hang upon the first two opening commandments of Sinai which Israel accepted and thereafter demanded that Moshe rise up the Mount and receive the rest of the Torah. (עיין הבה’’ג, in his intro to the Torah commandments he includes 100 blessings, tefillah, ner shabbat, ner Channukka, Megilat Esther etc as mitzvot from the Torah! The Rambam condemned the B’hag in his introduction to his Sefer Ha’Mitzvot! This latter רשע failed to grasp that doing טהור זימן גרמא מצוות elevates not only קום ועושה ושב ולא תעשה commandments but all the halachot within the Talmud unto זימן גרמא מצוות דאורייתא!

        Assimilated Rambam did not understand the kabbalah of Rabbi Akiva’s פרדס. Hence he organized and prioritized his codification of the halachot learned from the Talmud based upon the logic of Aristotle as explained by the Arab scholars of Aristotle’s’ logic. His perversion of Talmudic common law unto Roman statute law caused a Jewish Civil War to destroy our g’lut refugee populations across Europe and Russia!

        Publication of the Rambam avoda zarah statute halachic code 1185. That רשע died in 1205. About 10 years later the Court of Rabbeinu Yonah condemned that רשע, placed him in נידוי, and burned his statute law perversion of T’NaCH and Talmudic common law. (The T’NaCH rabbi Akiva’s פרדס explanation of the Oral Torah revealed at Horev/Sinai equally interprets T’NaCH common law as it does Talmudic common law/משנה תורה.) The arrogance of the Rambam, that fool did not know that משנה תורה means “Common Law”!

        The flames of Jewish Civil War ie the burning of the books of Rambam in Spain in about 1230, spread to Paris France in 1242; the Goyim king of France and poop Pope burned all the hand written manuscripts of the Talmud (the printing press not invented for some 200 years into the future). In year 1290 culminated that king’s “taxation without representation” of all Jewish refugees in England. Having robbed “his” Jews of all income and wealth, the king expelled the Jewish paupers to other countries. In 1306 the king of France likewise did the same. The expulsion of the Jews of France destroyed the Rashi/Tosafot common law commentary/school which studied the Talmud as common law.

        Other than the Rosh common law commentary on the Talmud halachot, starting with his son who wrote the Tur, all Reshonim and Acharonim scholars learn the T’NaCH and Talmud unto this very day as assimilated Roman Statute Law!!!!

        The Germanic kingdoms copy-cat of Taxation without Representation likewise pauperized the Jewish refugee populations scattered across all the kingdoms of Germany. German kingdoms one after another then expel the Jewish refugees from their lands. 1492 all the Jews of Spain and Portugal expelled. In 1516 the poop Pope decreed the 3 Century ghetto war-crime! A huge population transfer immediately followed. Jews fled the oppression of Western Europe to the Ukraine and Poland lands. In 1648 the Cossack revolts slaughtered some 1.5 million Jews!

        Civil War the bain curse of avoda zarah imposed upon the kingdom of David following the murder of the husband of Bat Sheva by the command of the king. The first rule of Jewish governance of the lands of Israel: to prevent the outbreak of Civil War among our divided people.

        Common law has two basic rules which assimilated Statute law rapes and murders like as did Hamas on Oct 7th 2023.
        1) Never divorce a Gemarah (its halachot) from its Home Mishna. Gemara common law makes a Case/Rule study of precedents by which to interpret the intent/k’vanna of the language of its Home Mishna.
        2) Never divorce the Aggadic portions learned to the Home Mishna from its Halachic precedent Primary Sources to interpret the k’vanna of Mishnaic intent.

        Interesting. You are definitely a scholar of Judaism. I posted the question originally to Muslims, as I wish to find common ground of fault within both peoples. Jews are too dominant in Israel, and Muslims are too antagonistic. But I got mixed results in that people who hate Zionism (Muslims and leftists) will continue to do so, and people who support it are usually unwavering

        Israel the Jewish state. For what purpose does commandments, mitzvot, & halachot serve? The opening first two commandments define the whole of the Torah. A)) Following the pursuit of justice among our People לשמה. B)) Rejecting the cultures, customs, mannerisms and ways of all Goyim in all generations who reject the revelation of the Torah at Sinai; who establish culture, customs, ways, and mannerism which have nothing to do with the revelation of the Torah at Sinai.

        What defines the plague/Torah curse\ of antisemitism? Jewish worship of avoda zarah. The Golden Calf serves as the classic definition from the Torah of avoda zarah. Ignorant child like reading/translating of the prophetic mussar which the Torah commands throughout the generations “interprets” the Aggada story of the “Golden Calf”, based upon the Oral Torah revelation taught through the kabbalah of rabbi Akiva’s פרדס logic format. This logic system stands apart from Plato and Aristotle and Hegel’s logic formats as accepting the Torah at Sinai from not accepting the Torah at Sinai; bi-polar opposites, Yes-No.

        The Torah speaks in the language of Man. The metaphor of avoda zarah told through the aggada of the sin of the Golden Calf. This דרוש (comparison of Case/Law to similar but other Case/Law) known as בנין אב in Hebrew and understood in English as “precedents” which establish “Common law” judicial rulings, with the aim and purpose to resolve Jewish disputes of damages inflicted upon our people by our people.

        Goyim, people/nations which do not establish law through judicial courtroom rulings but rather through statute law – Legislative and/or Executive decrees. Goyim do not accept the revelation of the Torah at Sinai; not in the days of Moshe Rabbeinu and not today. Worlds of separation and distance distinguish living under the rule of our own Jewish people or living under the tyranny of Goyim who govern Jews as stateless refugee/dhimmi populations which have no rights.

        Zionism of Hertzl stands on the foundations of the antisemitic Alfred Dreyfus Affair of corrupt judicial injustice. And the Russian pogroms which made a forced population transfer of millions of Jews from the Pale of Russia to the Golden Medina of the United States in the early years of the 20th Century. The defining transformation of that Jewish refugee “assimilation” (Golden Calf) these Russian Jews became English speaking Americans within a generation!

        Jewish worship of the Golden Calf דרוש resulted in a Torah curse. A generation following WWI Adolf Hitler and the Nazis came to power. The English imposed the White Paper which made it illegal for Jews to flee to the Palestine Mandated territories — the opposite of the Balfour Declaration Promise made in 1917. And FDR closed the borders of America which likewise sealed the fate of 75% of European Jewry slaughtered in less than 3 years.

        The question why did the Allies refuse, a conscious Government decision made by the Allied Governments, not bomb the rail lines leading to the Death Camps??? By 1942 both Washington, London and Rome knew of the Nazi policy to exterminate the Jewish people.

        Viewed from the perspective of the Torah: the answer to this question simple. Jewish worship of the דרוש Golden Calf! A concrete precedent of the Golden Calf; neither the Xtian Bible nor the Muslim Koran ever once brings the שם השם revealed in the First Sinai commandment. (The Greatest commandment of the Torah. The “Mountain hanging by a hair” which explains this metaphor employed in mesechta בבא קמא.) The aggada story of the Golden Calf, Israel declared: “these Gods brought Israel up out of Egyptian bondage.”

        How does this clause explain avodah zarah for all generations of Man Kind upon this Earth? אלו אלהים/these Gods\, translating the שם השם a רוח הקודש (translated as Divine Presence Spirit) unto words which the lips of Man can easily frame and pronounce perverts/corrupts\defiles/rapes\humiliates/amputates etc the רוח הקודש שם השם like as does the Xtian Nicene Creed which transforms “Holy Spirit” into the Trinity God-Head. Never once do the Goyim (as expressed through the Universal God religions of Xtianity and Islam) bring within the pages of their bible and koran abominations of avoda zarah the שם השם Name revealed in the 1st Sinai commandment. Hence these Universal God of monotheism ipso-facto worship other Gods — the 2nd Sinai commandment.

        The Torah refers to antisemitism through the eternal דרוש commandment “remember Amalek”. The NaCH story of Purim, tells the story of Amalek. Antisemitism roars like a hungry lion whenever the Jewish people worship the Golden Calf — we assimilate and embrace the cultures, customs, manners and ways practiced by the Goyim who reject the revelation of the Torah at Sinai.

    Jewish worship of avoda zarah defined through assimilation and intermarriage with Goyim, who never accepted the revelation of the Torah at Sinai – the Prime First Cause which defines the k’vanna of the Torah curse known as the Amalek antisemitism. Which plagues Jews in all generations.

    Xtian & Muslim revisionist history/’Evil Eye’- I believe theology – sucks. Today, as it has for 2000+ years. God is not a Man, anymore than Muhammad a T’NaCH prophet. Justice does not depend upon what persons personally believe concerning speculation attempts to define the Gods. Just that simple. Throw your new-testament or koran revisionist history upon the dung heaps of false history.

    Xtian religious revisionist history as meritorious, as tits on a boar hog. The Genocide slander of Israel made by post-Apartheid South Africa, compares to the Xtian ‘Blood Libels, and follow-up Pogroms’, committed every Easter – throughout the Middle Ages of European criminal barbarism.

    The absolute and complete ignorance of Goyim living in faraway distant countries, coupled with their arrogant presumed superiority of Israeli politics – a bad joke. Why? Their disgraceful sophomoric biblical translations unto foreign languages, falsely assumes that translations possess the power to define key terms, from one language to the next.

    Alas, covenant does not define brit. The koran abomination never once refers to the “Brit Faith”. Their bible & koran idols, fail to discern the difference between translating words from language to language. To comprehending the prophetic mussar rebukes. The defining “k’vanna” which all tohor time-oriented commandment most fundamentally require.

    Scratch a Goy and expose the Satan barbarian that possesses their Souls; never in their entire lives has a single Goy ever contemplated the concept of Torah time-oriented commandments. Amazing! Because all other Torah commandments qualify as toldoth/off-spring\ of these Most Holy of Holies Av/Father Torah commandments.

    How could Goyim theology so horribly fail? How could the best alien Goyim minds, in Ages past to present fall?! In their inability to grasp the essential primacy of tohor time-oriented commandments which define not only the Book of בראשית but the Siddur as well?

    Answer: Flawed from the first word of the Torah; their translations of “tefillah to prayer”, totally fails to grasp that בראשית holds within its 6 letters: ברית אש, ראש בית, ב’ ראשית. These forever “outsiders” deny the existence of the פרדס Oral Torah revelation at Horev!

    Post WWII Shoah European guilt, expressed through the rebuke made against false prophets to their eternal condemnation as CURSED: “By their fruits you shall know them.”

    Their Evil Eye/I believe theology speculations of the Gods, abhors the Primacy – the pursuit of justice between Man & Man, as the definition of Torah faith. Their replacement theology: “I am saved”, belief in false Universal God(s), an utter total abomination; like unto the Oct 7th Abomination War.

    Muhammad falsely presumed that JeZeus qualifies, comparable to his bloated Ego-self, as a T’NaCH prophet. His pie in the sky koran avoda-zarah did not know how the T’NaCH defines the word “Prophet”.

    The avoda-zarah name: Allah, it profanes the 1st Sinai commandment. Therefore (A concealed sworn Torah oath implied by this legal language of Torah common law.), Allah just another “Sin of the Golden Calf”, abomination of avoda zarah – the k’vanna of the 2nd Sinai Commandment.
