Quote:

Does Jewish tradition say anything about stealing little black children from the poor in a foreign country?



Slightly ...

Exodus 21:16
And s/he who steals a person ... if this person is found in her/his possession, s/he shall surely be put to death.

Though I cannot retrieve the texts from memory and though, like all things in Judaism, there is disagreement on its application and meaning, there are admonitions against forcing a non-Jew into Jewish culture.

Unlike Christianity and Islam, you do not need to be a practitioner of Judaism to achieve salvation. The Rambam teaches that a Jew will be judged against a yardstick of 613 commandments. A non-Jew, only 7. [These 7, which are also part of the 613, were agreed to by Noah].

So it deemed wrong to assign a person this added burden that they did not inherit or choose of their own free will.
