that much is true yes, though it technically comes from the Mishnah. however Rabban Shimon ben Gamliel does also challenge that having no death penalty would increase the number of murderers as there would be no deterrent

סנהדרין נוהגת בארץ ובחוצה לארץ סנהדרין ההורגת אחד בשבוע נקראת חובלנית רבי אליעזר בן עזריה אומר אחד לשבעים שנה רבי טרפון ורבי עקיבא אומרים אילו היינו בסנהדרין לא נהרג אדם מעולם רבן שמעון בן גמליאל אומר אף הן מרבין שופכי דמים בישראל
The mishna continues: The mitzva to establish a Sanhedrin with the authority to administer capital punishments is in effect both in Eretz Yisrael and outside Eretz Yisrael. A Sanhedrin that executes a transgressor once in seven years is characterized as a destructive tribunal. Since the Sanhedrin would subject the testimony to exacting scrutiny, it was extremely rare for a defendant to be executed. Rabbi Elazar ben Azarya says: This categorization applies to a Sanhedrin that executes a transgressor once in seventy years. Rabbi Tarfon and Rabbi Akiva say: If we had been members of the Sanhedrin, we would have conducted trials in a manner whereby no person would have ever been executed. Rabban Shimon ben Gamliel says: In adopting that approach, they too would increase the number of murderers among the Jewish people. The death penalty would lose its deterrent value, as all potential murderers would know that no one is ever executed.

I did not even realize this specific factoid until recently

Jewish use of Arabic in Arabia predates Islam. There is evidence of a Jewish Arabic dialect, similar to general Arabic but including some Hebrew and Aramaic lexemes, called al-Yahūdiyya, predating Islam. Some of these Hebrew and Aramaic words may have passed into general usage, particularly in religion and culture, though this pre-Islamic Judeo-Arabic was not the basis of a literature.

if this is about my "antisemitic leftists" list, i assure you it is not passive-aggressive! it is when i encounter actual aggression and bigotry and so others are alerted to the expression of unacceptable behavior. it is for mine and others safety, so cry about that.

but the Jewish rationale on this is very clear cut especially at this point, as its not approaching it with the episteme of Platonic metaphysics. so the Christological debate comes off wholely absurd if dependent solely on fundamentals of the Torah. see this comment from the Jerusalem Talmud

"If Jesus was identical in nature with G-d, he could not have been created or born. If Jesus was similar in nature to G-d, his creation would contradict the thesis of unique creation of man. If Jesus was simply referring to himself as G-d's son in the meaning of Deuteronomy 11:1, he is no power in Heaven."

disgusting spam text i got ugh i hate Texas politics its full of evangelical nazis

Governor Abbott has spent his career keeping Texans safe from radical Islamists.

He rejected Barack Obama's attempt to move unvetted Syrian refugees to Texas, shut down the EPIC city compound in North Texas, and designated groups with terrorist ties such as CAIR and the Muslim Brotherhood as terrorist organizations.

Under his leadership, Texas will fully ban Sharia law.

Gina Hinojosa supports open border policies that let tens of thousands of radical Islamists into Texas every year and she has opposed all efforts to crack down on illegal Sharia compounds.

We cannot have her radical socialist policies wrecking our state. Texas cannot afford Gina Hinojosa.

Finally, theres this breathtaking one. as with the others, more description is in Alt text (from islamic-art.smb.museum/en/story/poe... )

At the center of the painting is a radiant sun motif, symbolizing the universe’s cosmic heart. This placement echoes the designs of "lion carpets" (gabba-ye shiri), where the sun dominates as a source of light and order, while lions in the corners embody earthly power and divine protection.

In Iranian cosmology, the sun is imbued with feminine qualities: nurturing, life-giving, and central to creation and renewal. This symbolism aligns with Mithraic traditions, an ancient Iranian religion centered on Mithra, the deity of light and cosmic order. In Mithraic thought, the sun represents a vital celestial force that governs life and ensures harmony in the cosmos. The feminine, often associated with light, embodies creation and cyclical rhythms, reflecting the natural and cosmic balance integral to this worldview.

The painting’s radiant sun mirrors these attributes, underscoring the shared cosmic roles of the surrounding figures as sources of vitality, balance, and harmony. This interplay between the earthly and the divine invites viewers to reflect on the interdependence of beauty, fertility, and transcendence within Iranian intellectual and artistic traditions.

specifically there is a lot of beautiful depictions of women, often playing instruments, like this one of a woman playing a tar(yes, etymologically related to what we know as a guitar. "tar" meaning "string" in Persian) that may be the earliest i remember and had stuck in my memory.

A LADY PLAYING A STRINGED INSTRUMENT QAJAR IRAN, EARLY 19TH CENTURY Oil on canvas, some restoration 50¼ x 40 1/8in. (127.5 x 102cm.) With their small pursed lips, long noses and elaborate costumes the figures in this painting bear some resemblance to the work of Muhammad Hassan, an accomplished portraitist active during the reign of Fath ‘Ali Shah Qajar (1798-1834). A painting by Muhammad Hassan sold at Sotheby’s, London, 27 April 1994, lot 107. Two other works by the artist, depicting princes, are in the Amery Collection, now in the Negaristan Museum, Tehran (S.J. Falk, Qajar Paintings, London, 1972, nos.26 and 27).

love this kind of Qajar art so much. one of my fav schools of art

A court musician playing the kamancheh. Oil on canvas painting from the Qajar Iran period. Painted in style or "School of Abuʾl-Qasim", dated 1816. Dimensions 55½ x 31 5/8in (140.8 x 80.4cm). Possibly part of a "series" of paintings.[1] Or, this was possibly part of a larger work by Abuʾl-Qasi, cut into pieces, of which four have been identified. That original was described as "a painting of Fath ‛Ali Shah seated in state attended by ten women. The composition extended around three sides of the room and the figures were almost life-size...."[2][3]

While the Zionists try to make the rest of the World believe that the national consciousness of the Jew finds its satisfaction in the creation of a Palestinian state, the Jews again slyly dupe the dumb Goyim. It doesn't even enter their heads to build up a Jewish state in Palestine for the purpose of living there; all they want is a central organisation for their international world swindler, endowed with its own sovereign rights and removed from the intervention of other states: a haven for convicted scoundrels and a university for budding crooks.

It is a sign of their rising confidence and sense of security that at a time when one section is still playing the German, French-man, or Englishman, the other with open effrontery comes out as the Jewish race.

"Today is a monumental day in the fight to stop the radical transgender movement. This historic settlement reflects an institutional and fundamental cultural shift away from radical ‘gender’ ideology. In addition to helping establish the first-ever Detransition Clinic and securing millions, this settlement will ensure that the deranged child mutilators who hurt our kids are fired and held accountable,” said Attorney General Paxton. “I applaud Texas Children’s Hospital for changing course and committing to being a part of the solution by agreeing to form a first-of-its kind Detransition Clinic that will help provide free care to those who have been victimized by twisted, morally bankrupt transgender ideology. Under my watch, I will investigate and bring the full force of the law against any Texas hospital that abuses children with harmful medical interventions to ‘transition’ kids.”

And you cut off one of the best parts, relevant to the original topic of this thread !

“This one shall be called Woman [isha], because this one was taken from Man [ish]” – from here we learn that the Torah was given in the sacred tongue [Hebrew]. Rabbi Pinḥas and Rabbi Ḥilkiya say in the name of Rabbi Simon: Just as the Torah was given in the sacred tongue, so, the world was created in the sacred tongue. Have you ever heard anyone saying: Gyne, gynea; anthropos, anthropa; gavra, gavreta? But ish and isha – one form corresponds to the other. *Hebrew is the only language in which it makes sense to say, “This one shall be called Woman [isha], because this was taken from Man [ish],” as isha is the feminine form of ish.
