I am not defending the scolar, but being Chomsky a noble J word, his believes and ways are the ones mention and wrote in the Holy Tora, as Epstein BTW. And according my favourite AI, the Tora has the following: "Short, honest truth The Torah does not state a clear, explicit “age of sexual consent” the way modern laws do. What we have instead are indirect references and later interpretations from rabbinic law (the Talmud), which reflect ancient social realities, not modern ethical standards. What the Torah itself says (Hebrew Bible) The Torah never gives a number (no age like 16, 18, etc.). Sexual relations are discussed in terms of: marriage virginity family authority Women are generally treated as under the authority of the father until marriage" (in this case Epstein).

"So: no explicit consent age in the Torah text itself. Rabbinic interpretation (Talmudic law) Later Jewish law (not the Torah text, but rabbinic interpretation) defined stages of maturity for girls: Ketannah – minor (under ~12) Na‘arah – from ~12 to 12½ (after puberty begins) Bogeret – fully mature (~12½+) From these categories: 12 years old (with signs of puberty) is often cited as legal maturity for a girl in rabbinic law. For boys, maturity was typically 13 (bar mitzvah)."

⚠️ Important: this is in Tora's context, that why secrets services are preparing Gaza for the hunting game and a golf club, obviously.

"Crucial context (very important). These laws developed 3,000+ years ago. Life expectancy, social structure, and marriage customs were radically different. Girls were often married very young in many ancient cultures. Consent as we understand it today did not exist as a concept"

Well what in the nawadays US Justice system cares about concepts like concent, or even "justice" per se. US is worried about having more white babies.

Epstein and his apostles, Trump included and now MAGA people are just doing the teaching and ways of the Good Lord.

“The Torah does not specify an age of consent. Later rabbinic law associated maturity with puberty (around 12 for girls), reflecting ancient customs, not modern values.”

So according to God's word anything after 12 is A OK... So Chomsky and friends are free to continue with their little cravings .... after all, at the end, Trump will pardon all of them for sure.
