If Humanity Watched One Man: The Justice of Privacy and Dignity

Living Under the Spotlight I Never Chose - My true story If Humanity Watched One Man The Justice of Privacy and Dignity By Ronen Kolton Yehuda (Messiah King RKY) 1. The Hypothesis: The “Truman-World” Scenario Imagine a world in which one human being — Ronen — is unwittingly placed at the center of a global spectacle. Everything he does, says, or suffers is publicly broadcast: every glance, every tear, every intimate act becomes collective property. Call this the Truman-World Hypothesis — a civilization that turns a single life into eternal entertainment. This is more than a thought experiment. It is the mirror of technological possibility: ubiquitous cameras, global distribution, algorithmic amplification. What if the boundary between private and public collapses completely? 2. The Moral Position In this world, Ronen is the victim — not because he did something wrong, but because his very being is stripped of its essential rights. Let us see how: Loss of consent : His im...

Parallel Relationships and Common-Law Partnerships in Israel Why an Israeli Man May Legally Have More Than One Partner By Ronen Kolton Yehuda (Messiah King RKY) 1. Introduction: The Legal and Cultural Reality Under Israeli law, polygamy —multiple formal marriages —is a criminal offense. However, parallel non-marital partnerships are not. An Israeli man may legally maintain relationships with multiple women simultaneously , provided that: He is not married to more than one woman (no second wedding ceremony); and Each relationship is genuine, stable, and conducted without formal marriage , fitting the legal definition of “common-law partnership” (ידועים בציבור) . This arrangement is entirely lawful under Israel’s civil framework and widely recognized across court rulings and administrative practice. 2. The Legal Distinction: Polygamy vs. Common-Law Partnership Polygamy (Illegal) Defined by Section 176 of the Israeli Penal Law (1977) : “A person who is married and marries anothe...

Is Polygamy Permitted Today Under Jewish Law? Why Rabbeinu Gershom’s Ban No Longer Holds in the Jewish State By Ronen Kolton Yehuda (Messiah King RKY) Introduction: From Exile to Restoration For nearly a thousand years, Jewish life was shaped by the limitations and moral adaptations of exile. Among these was the Ban of Rabbeinu Gershom , a decree from 11th-century Christian Europe that prohibited a man from marrying more than one woman and from divorcing his wife against her will. This decree, though meaningful in its time, was not divine law — it was a temporary social regulation created under foreign influence. Now that the Jewish people live again in their own land and within a Jewish State , the question arises: Is polygamy — multiple wives — still forbidden under Jewish law today? The answer, both halakhically and logically, is no . The ban was a product of exile and Christian moral pressure — not of the Torah itself. In a sovereign Jewish State, it no longer applies. ...

Jealousy Toward the Successful: Rivalry Between Family, Partners, and Society Against Those Who Could Rise By Ronen Kolton Yehuda (Messiah King RKY) Introduction: The Fear of Potential Jealousy is not random. It does not strike against the weak, nor waste itself on the unremarkable. Jealousy focuses — almost surgically — on those who could succeed, or already have. Throughout human history, jealousy has followed the trail of light — the musician with talent, the child with promise, the partner who shines too brightly, the citizen who stands taller than the crowd. The emotion itself is universal, but its direction reveals something profound about human nature: we are often threatened not by others’ failure, but by their possibility. Philosophers from Aristotle to Nietzsche and psychoanalysts from Freud to Jung have traced envy and rivalry as central to the drama of human relationships. Aristotle, in his Rhetoric , defined jealousy ( phthonos ) as pain caused by the good fortune of othe...
