Love thy neighbor does not include non-jews in their beliefs. Merchants were travelers who traded in goods. I like to think that is why trader and traitor sound similar. https://www.biblestudytools.com/dictionary/merchant/
"Neighbour" meant countryman, which for Ancient Israelites (who had a confederacy of tribes or "nation-states" stemming from the same genetic stock, with a single monarchy ruling them) meant kinsmen.
Deu 28:43 "The sojourner who is among you rises higher and higher above you, but you come down lower and lower." Deu 28:44 "He lends to you, but you do not lend to him. He is the head, and you are the tail." Deu 28:45 "And all these curses shall come upon you, and they shall pursue and overtake you, until you are destroyed, because you did not obey the voice of YHWH your Elohim, to guard His commands and His laws which He commanded you."
Yeah.... NO. What version are you reading from? Some dumbed down version meant to mislead and enslave you. This must be your trainer. https://www.bitchute.com/video/D14aootn606f/
What That just means they consider themselves Jews first anywhere on earth. Say a black guy moves to Germany is he now German?
You left out the most important context for those passages. If they do not keep Gods/Hashem Law those are the punishments/curses God/Hashem will cast upon them. What bible version are you using?

You are far too emotional, before jumping to conclusions and getting angry over those conclusions, and then shutting down any conversation before it even begins by insulting the other person, you should first ask questions to clarify any ambiguity. Those people are completely messed up in the head btw.
"You left out the most important context for those passages. If they do not keep Gods/Hashem Law those are the punishments/curses God/Hashem will cast upon them."
That context is there in the scripture where it says "to guard His commands and His laws which He commanded you." Why are you writing God/ Hashem?

I used the TS2009 (Stands for "The Scriptures"), since they are supposedly the most accurate for Hebrew translation. Although since we only have Jews as arbiters of Hebraic translation accuracy, I wouldn't put my money on it. I did change God's name into YHWH rather than the modern Hebrew letters. Kind of a weird messianic obsession to not translate it.
"What That just means they consider themselves Jews first anywhere on earth. Say a black guy moves to Germany is he now German?"
What? I don't even understand what you are saying here. The original Israelites were milk-drinking colonisers who developed the alphabet which was then used by Greeks and Romans, from Egyptian Hieroglyphics. The modern Jews are a nomadic merchant people who are from generic mixed-multitude MENA populations, they are mostly Lactose Intolerant.
If you interpret "curse" as the pagan conception of "curse," then it's like a magical, negative aura of bad luck or... something like that. I do not interpret it this way, I think "curse" was used to mean a negative consequence of a choice/ action. It's just like Canaan was cursed for being the product of severe incest, just like many who are the product of such a union are physically & 'spiritually' cursed.
I interpret the passage to mean that if you don't follow the Laws of God there will be inevitable consequences, one of the consequences listed is "sojourners" or foreigners becoming elevated over you, in your own lands. If the Israelites were living according to God's will, the foreigners would not be able to elevate themselves above God's people and practice usury against them, but because they don't live by God's laws, they suffer the consequences. Hope that makes sense.
It just so happens that Jews fit into the 'Sojourner' and 'Usurer' categories very well.
Love it, good insight!
