They are in bondage to the law

God gave them the Law. They voluntarily chose to accept it. Are you "in bondage" to the Ten Commandments? Is it a heavy yoke to not murder or commit adultery?

which is even called a curse in the NT

That's not what its called in the Hebrew scriptures. David certainly had a different perception of the Law than did Paul. Psalm 119 illustrates the Jewish perspective on the Law.

Christianity is at liberty from the Law

Really? So adultery is okay, now? You are free to do anything you please?

For two weeks, until the peacekeeping forces can turn to law enforcement. ;-)

Very interesting. The law, all 635ish laws not just the 10 commandments, is called a curse in the NT. A person in the bible once told Jesus that he had kept the whole law, that unburdensome thing, and Jesus told him that he still lacked.
