Can Israel really afford to keep these people as pets for much longer? Take them off the damn dole and make them work for a living!

Can't say I really have a dog in this fight, other than the observation that work is a blessing that keeps a man sane. The old rabbis had a saying, "The man who tries to interpret scripture while not having a job will distort its meaning." (sorry, this is a third-hand paraphrase of something I think I read once. Correction welcome.

It's strange though -- an atheist, or one of these fanatical and malignant cultists, can be a Jew in good standing. A Jew who discovers Yeshua, however, "goes out to an evil culture" (is excommunicated).

The more accurate view of work from the Historical Christian point of view is that it is one aspect of Adam's Curse. No?
