From my understanding, finding loopholes against restrictions is a habit they justify due to their claimed lineage from prophet Israel (Jacob) who defeated god in a wrestling match (according to the Torah). The logic is: if Jacob can defeat god, and if we are children of Jacob, then we can also defeat god.Well if you are a well read Jew and well versed in Talmud, there is technically no contradiction. According to this certain clause and technicality, this thing is allowed according to Jewish law. You can even say I'm not disobeying this direct command from God himself coz of xxx technicality. Basically lawyer speak which is why you see a lot of Jews in law.
Some notable examples:
• drawing a wire (eruv) around Manhattan to bypass Sabbath restrictions outside your house (eruv is supposed to be the fence around your house).
• forbidden to kill a specific criminal, so they tied him to a tree until he died of starvation.
• forbidden to carry keys on Sabbath, but if you wear a belt, you can hang the keys on the belt.
Lol
I don't wanna talk religion indepth but loopholes have a strong association with this religion.
I'm pretty sure he's just secularizing the state (not the first time in the region) so there won't be any major opponents left for his government, and more importantly, for Israel. Muslim religious fervor is the greatest threat to Israel. That's why you never see any uprisings or anti-Israel groups in Saudi Arabia which is otherwise a very conservative society (fervor is nipped in the bud by the state).Well this is interesting. I remember when this guy took over, I saw this as a pro-Turkish/Israeli/US force taking over from a pro-Russian/Iranian force so when someone said that now the wartorn country will be ripe for Chinese investment and infrastructure building, I asked why the hell would China do that. I guess that's this new president's answer to that question. He's gone around and shaken a lot of hands but this would be a solid action if taken.
