Reply To: Just because it's ???? doesn't mean it's right

Well…

1) Of course, ???? ??????? is a compelling reason to reject slavery, like so many other activities that run counter to the law of the land.

2) Anti-semitism is a good practical consideration, but hardly the reason it would be rejected – I think it would be prohibited on more fundamental grounds – namely, that it runs against the basic principles of Torah morality, as explained above.

I think that although the ideal situation of slavery in the Torah is completely different from what slavery looked like in the United States, it seems from the ?????? that many slaveholders did not live up to their responsibilities.
