Now in the interest in fairness, I want to emphasize that every culture has some shitbird crap like this going on and unlike everyone else, you could convert to judaism and thus become a non slave which was hella progressive compared to everyone else at the time.
I don't see anything about white plantations holders setting their black slaves free when they adopted Christianity for instance.
Slavery in the Hebrew Bible was limited; for example they were freed in 7 years or less. It was more like indentured servitude. The American slave trade was not justified by the Hebrew Bible. Of course, when Christians culturally appropriated it, they changed it.
Op said his mind was blown by the idea that they'd be ok with scamming people from outside the country but not other Israelis which I then drew a comparison to slavery which had a similar restriction. that was the joke.

TLDR: perfectly fine to keep non jews as slaves.
