    Default Jewish law demands that everyone have adequate and permanent housing.

    A few Jewish sources explicitly speak of the provision of housing as a means of tzedakah (charity). Most famous among these texts is the exhortation in Isaiah to “take the poor into your homes,” read as the Haftarah on Yom Kippur. This prophetic cry defines the relief of homelessness as a religious duty, preferable to fasts, sacrifices, and other ritual observances.

    Other texts specifically define housing as one of the obligatory types of tzedakah. The Bible commands that a poor person be granted “sufficient for what lacks, according to what is lacking to him.” One talmud text understands each phrase in that command as referring to a specific type of assistance one might grant a poor person: “‘Sufficient for what he lacks’–this is a house. ‘What is lacking’–this is a bed and table.” Significantly, this text imagines the primary needs of a poor person as being related to housing.

    Jewish law offers a number of criteria for evaluating the condition of housing and a number of suggestions about the responsibility to ensure that the poor have adequate housing. Central to all of these laws is a concern that housing be safe, secure, and permanent, and that every home allow its inhabitants to live a full and dignified life.

    “If we have to have a choice between being dead and pitied, and being alive with a bad image, we’d rather be alive and have the bad image.”

    — Golda Meir

    Zionism is the movement for the self-determination and statehood for the Jewish people in their ancestral homeland, the land of Israel.

    Good excuse for Israel's settlements in Palestine.

    most religions start out all about loving your fellow man

    then they get organized and become a political entity

    that is why the founders banned them from government

    No I missed nothing. You responded to Guno's post about
    anonymoose's post of Israel's settlements in Palestine. What does Trump or his followers have to do with that? In other words that was nothing but a cheap shot.

    The OP is false, don't you morons know anything? There's nothing in the Talmud about giving charity to gentiles. On the contrary, the Jew's religion teach them to steal from gentiles. Gentiles are defined by Jews as non-human, so any passages about charity do not apply to gentiles. To know jews is to want to get rid of them. The Palestinians know Jews. The Jews destroy their homes, rather than give them homes.
    Ape lives matter. Stop putting them in zoos. Boycott businesses that don't hire apes.

    Then answered all the Jews, and said, Jesus' blood be on us, and on our children. So be it.
    Jews want to turn America into an atheistic, amoral, socialist farmyard.
