CTlawyer., FYI, the Halacha sometimes requires us to discriminate. For example, a Jew who has his own business must prefer Jews in hiring. On the other hand, if the business must be open on Shabbat and Yom Tov he must seek a gentile partner. As foir neighborhoods, I personally do not understand why a Jew would want tol ive among anti-Semites. Besides, there was far less assimilation when people lived in tethnic neighborhoods. Even Jewish Communists married other Jews. Not to mention that “equal opportunity” laws gave rise to Affirmative Action – the exact opposite. So too, gay “rights” is giving way to government compulsion to participate in these “weddings”.
In any case, it is instructive to read the words of Ludwig von Mises, himself the victim of anti-Jewish discrimination:
Elsewhere he writes:
“The market does not directly prevent anybody from arbitrarily inflicting harm on his fellow citizens; it only puts a penalty upon such conduct. The shopkeeper is free to be rude to his customers provided he is ready to bear the consequences. The consumers are free to boycott a purveyor provided they are ready to pay the costs. What impels every man to the utmost exertion in the service of his fellow men and curbs innate tendencies toward arbitrariness and malice is, in the market, not compulsion and coercion on the part of gardeess, hangmen, and penal courts; it is self-interest.”
As for questionable business dealings, what about all of the Clintons’ dealings? Not to mention the fact that Hillary was fired from the Watergate committee for unethical behavior. was an accomplice to the murder of American diplomats, etc. edited
