@alimanwer: 'Alien' is a misleading word. Biblical Jews were a tribal group related by family ties, so obviously a foreigner is not related to the tribe. It made logical sense in antiquity to have different business practice with someone not related to you. Is your implication that Jews hate strangers and this therefore implies modern day racism? Hardly the case, seeing as anyone can convert and become Jewish, thus joining that tribal group. None of this is relevant to Shakespeare, though.

@Aviva2121 : Please do quote a better translation...

@alimanwer: If you're quoting the Torah, I assume you're an expert in Biblical Hebrew? Because Shakespeare certainly wasn't. You're creating meaning out of (badly) translated words that suit your agenda, assuming that you know more about it than Jews do. Your motive is sheer malice, so why not just be honest about it.

@Aviva2121 : A Selected List of the 613 Mitzvot (Commandments)
57. To exact the debt of an alien (Deut. 15:3)
58. To lend to an alien at interest (Deut. 23:21) According to tradition, this is mandatory (affirmative).
171. Not to make a loan to an Israelite on interest (Lev. 25:37)
WHERE DOES THE RACISM BEGIN?

What, lending money "sucks the land dry?". Go and tell that to modern banks, you crude low-life racist! Jews were in ghettos because of a prejudice and racism that still exists amongst the clueless and ignorant. Jews practiced usery because no one else could, according to law.
