Our ethics aren’t abstract principles discussed in comfortable podcast studios, but lived realities tested in history’s crucible.
ed note–another eye-opener that every war-weary Gentile with a vested interest in his/her own future survival needs to read, understand, and take deeply to heart.
Once again, the piece below underscores the nature and the extent of the danger that the entire world faces as a result of the mental illness and detachment from reality that afflicts these people. Whereas most other people of whatever Gentile variety see themselves as flawed human beings in need of constant improvement, the Jews however see themselves as perfect, chosen, and without need of any ‘adjustment’ to their moral condition.
It is with an accurate understanding of this mindset therefore that we, the Gentiles of the world, understand better how and why it is that ‘they’, the ‘children of Israel’, interact with the larger world around them in the fashion that they do and always have. This mindset, based upon their ‘superior’ morals and ethics, is what drives them not only to go into places like Gaza and mass murder FOR RELIGIOUS REASONS hundreds of thousands of innocent men, women and children, but then to deny afterwards that mass murder took place.
Nota bene what our deranged Hebraic author has to say in the following–
‘The Torah’s 613 mitzvot constitute the most comprehensive moral system ever revealed to humanity, addressing every aspect of human conduct from interpersonal relationships to business ethics, from family life to community responsibilities, and even ethics in war…’
And then consider just ONE of those ‘mitzvot’ which our deranged Joo claims is representative of the most ‘comprehensive moral system ever revealed to humanity’–
‘When the Lord your God brings you into the land you are to possess and drives out the many nations larger and stronger than you, and when the Lord your God has delivered them over to you and you have defeated them, then you must destroy them totally. Make no treaty with them, and show them no mercy. Do not save alive anything that breathes, for you are a people holy to the Lord your God who has chosen you out of all the peoples on the face of the earth to be his people, his treasured possession…’ –Book of Deuteronomy
And that is just ONE, ladies and Gentile-men, of those ‘mitzvot’ which our deranged Judah-ite describes as ‘the most comprehensive moral system ever revealed to humanity’.
Others, dealing with the rape and sexual enslavement of children, the theft of Gentiles’ property, lying, bribery, and every other evil act known to be such by the rational mind of man are also contained within that ‘most comprehensive moral system ever revealed to humanity’ which this diabolically-possessed creature proudly holds up as ‘holy’ within the deranged OpEd he has ‘scribed’ below.
Perhaps Jesus Christ was Himself at a loss for words when describing them in the manner that He did, or perhaps He was just telling the ugly truth for what it was (and is) when He stated in the plainest of language that they were–
‘CHILDREN OF THEIR FATHER THE DEVIL, WHO WAS A MURDERER FROM THE BEGINNING AND THE FATHER OF LIES…’

In a recent string of podcasts and public appearances, comedian and libertarian commentator Dave Smith has positioned himself as a moral ‘authority’ critiquing policies and passing judgment on complex ethical questions with the confidence of someone who believes he has discovered universal truths. However, Smith’s attempt to lecture on morality reveals a profound ignorance of history’s most enduring moral framework and the people, the Jewish nation, who have preserved it for millennia.
The Jewish people stand unique in human history as the receivers of divine moral instruction at Mount Sinai. This transformative moment—when God directly communicated moral law to an entire nation—established a covenant that has guided not just Jewish ethics, but has formed the moral foundation of Western civilization itself. The Ten Commandments, and the Torah’s 613 mitzvot, constitute the most comprehensive moral system ever revealed to humanity, addressing every aspect of human conduct from interpersonal relationships to business ethics, from family life to community responsibilities, and even ethics in war.
For over 3,000 years, the Jewish people have studied, interpreted, and lived by these divine instructions, producing volumes of ethical discourse unmatched in depth and breadth. The Talmud’s intricate moral reasoning, Maimonides’ systematic ethical codes, and the rich tradition of mussar (ethical contemplation) represent a moral tradition that has withstood the test of time, while other ethical systems have risen and fallen.
Against this backdrop, Smith’s libertarian moral pronouncements appear not just simplistic, but presumptuous. His political philosophy, barely two centuries old and derived primarily from secular Enlightenment thinking, cannot match the wisdom accumulated through millennia of engagement with divine instruction. When Smith speaks of non-aggression principles or sovereign individualism, he is merely recycling fragments of moral concepts that find their complete expression in Jewish ethical tradition.
The Jewish experience has uniquely positioned us to understand morality’s complexities. Having maintained ethical standards while enduring persecution, expulsion, and genocide, the Jewish people have demonstrated moral resilience that transcends theoretical pontification. Our ethics aren’t abstract principles discussed in comfortable podcast studios, but lived realities tested in history’s crucible.
Smith’s libertarianism, with its focus on individual liberty above communal responsibility, misses the balanced approach of Jewish ethics, which recognizes both individual dignity, and communal obligation. The Torah teaches that true morality exists not in isolation but in relationship with G-d. This nuanced understanding recognizes that sometimes individual desires must be subordinated to greater moral imperatives.
Moreover, Smith fails to appreciate that morality requires authority. The Jewish tradition understands that moral principles derive their power not from human reasoning alone, but from divine revelation. Without this transcendent foundation, morality becomes merely preference or convention—precisely the relativism that plagues modern discourse. The moral certainty Smith aspires to cannot be achieved through political philosophy alone; it requires acknowledgment of a higher source of moral truth.
This is not to say that the Jewish tradition is closed to dialogue or development. On the contrary, our moral tradition thrives on questioning, interpretation, and application to new circumstances. But this process occurs within a framework of reverence for revealed truth and accumulated wisdom—elements conspicuously absent from Smith’s approach.
For a people who have preserved divine moral instruction through exile and persecution, who have debated ethical minutiae with rigorous intellectual honesty, and who have produced moral giants in every generation, there is something almost comical about being lectured on morality by political commentators whose moral horizons extend no further than their libertarian podcasts. This, to a certain extent, was the point the distinguished author, Douglas Murray, who is not Jewish, was making against the comedian, Dave Smith, on the recent Joe Rogan podcast.
The Jewish people possess, through no merit of our own but by divine gift, the most complete moral system ever entrusted to humanity. This is not pride, but acknowledgment of responsibility.
So while Dave Smith and others may continue their moral pronouncements, those who stand in the shadow of Sinai know that true morality comes not from political philosophy, but from divine revelation, not from podcast musings, but from millennia of moral wisdom.
You simply cannot teach morals to the people who received them directly from God.
