Please bear with me. This is not humor. Ever bought a hot dog at a major league ballpark? VERY expensive. In Jesus of Nazareth’s day, the Sadducees were the “Quislings” who paid the Romans for the “concessions” (changing “filthy” Roman money for “temple money” and selling sacrificial animals at inflated prices) at Herod’s Temple. Jesus and His disciples were all Jews. They were not Jew haters. Jesus roundly criticized the avarice and hypocrisy of the sects in power. Regarding John’s gospel, consider the eleventh chapter. Jesus raises Lazarus from the dead. The “establishment spies” sent to find fault in Jesus and manufacturing a criminal case against him (sounds like today’s news?) response was to add Lazarus to their hit list. It is not antisemitic to “speak to power” in this ancient case. By the way, Saul of Tarsus was a persecutor par excellence, and once he recognized Yeshua min Nazaret as Ha Meshiach, he was stoned and left for dead. These are historical documents, and we must deal with the good, the bad, and the ugly of history.

Not at all. Unclassified now. Glass ampule full of electrolyte smashed by “setback,” the tremendous Newton’s First Law of motion when the shell accelerates from zero to three or four times the speed of sound in an instant, powers up the battery.

Since when did the dictatorial Aussie government limit its decrees to the law of that land down under. “Lex Rex” made the West and “Rex Lex” is a step backward to serfdom.
