"On policy, there is no question that Donald Trump is the most pro-Israel, pro-Jewish candidate to ever run for the U.S. presidency. And this year’s Republican Party platform is the most pro-Israel political platform in the history of the United States, on either side of the political aisle. That is why when Jewish and pro-Israel voters learn about Donald Trump’s policies, they support Donald Trump."

Bill Hwang said these things. He may have been misguided, but I think if a god exists it would indeed make sure humans are eventually honest and prudent about finance. It might temporarily involve Catholics and Muslims being against interest rates, while Jews use interest rates when lending to non-Jewish groups, and periodically forgiving debts between Jews. But I think humans are in the long run capable of managing finances correctly.
If a Bible or Quran or Torah was written today it should have a commandment against the use of excessive leverage.
"He arose and permitted [vehittir] their money to the Jewish people, so that in certain cases Jews are not liable for damage caused to gentiles."
"From the time God came from Mount Paran, when giving the Torah, the money of the gentile nations appeared, i.e., it was revealed and granted to the Jewish people"
"From Paran their money appeared to the Jewish people"

"when one found a lost item in a city where both Jews and gentiles reside, if the city has a majority of Jews he is obligated to proclaim his find. If there is a majority of gentiles he is not obligated to proclaim his find"
"the item belongs to the finder, it is referring specifically to a place where there is a majority of gentiles, but in a place where there is a majority of Jews, no, it does not belong to the finder"
