Didn’t we learn one of the avoraos for the churban was that the Jews did not keep Yovel? Instead of freeing the servants (jewish slaves) they set them free and right away they enslaved them again. Isn’t this slavery? While the Torah explicitily prohibits this type of slavery, the Jewish people did not fully follow the Torah.
