Yeah. All right. New heading. Sexual offenses. The sexual intercourse between a married Jewish woman and any man other than her husband is a capital offense for both parties, and one of the three most heinous sins. The status of Gentile women is very different. The Halakha presumes all Gentiles to be utterly promiscuous, and the verse, whose flesh is as the flesh of asses and whose issue of semen is like the issue of horses is applied. to them. Whether a Gentile woman is married or not makes no difference since as few, as far as Jews are

concerned, the very concept of matrimony does not apply to Gentiles. There is no matrimony for a heathen. Therefore, the concept of adultery also does not apply to intercourse between a Jewish man and a Gentile woman. Rather, the Talmud equates such intercourse to the sin of beastiality. For the same reason, Gentiles are generally presumed not to have certain paternity. According to the Talmudic Encyclopedia, he who has carnal knowledge of the wife of a Gentile is not liable to the death penalty, for it is written by Phelho's wife rather than the alien's wife, and even the precept that a man shall cleave unto his wife, which is addressed to the Gentiles, does not apply to a Jew. just there is no matrimony for a heathen, and although a married Gentile woman is forbidden to the Gentiles,

in any case, a Jew is exempted. This does not imply that sexual intercourse between a Jewish man and Gentile woman is permitted, quite the contrary, but the main punishment is inflicted on the Gentile woman. She must be executed, even if she was raped by the Jew. Quote, if a Jew has coitus with a Gentile woman, whether she is, she be a child of three or an adult, whether married or unmarried, or even if he is a minor aged only nine years in one day, because he had willful coitus with her, she must be killed, as is the case with a beast, because through her, a Jew got into trouble.

Unquote. The Jew, however, must be flogged, and if he is a Cohen, member of the priestly tribe, He must receive double the number of lashes because he has committed a double offense. A cone must not have intercourse with a prostitute, and all Gentile women are presumed to be prostitutes. For those just listening, all of this is footnoted. Status. New heading. According to the Halakha, Jews must not, if they can help it, allow a Gentile to be appointed to any position of authority, however small, over Jews. The two stock examples are commander over ten soldiers in the Jewish army and superintendent of an irrigation ditch.

Significantly, this particular rule applies also to converse to Judaism and to their descendants through the female line for ten generations or so long as the descent is known. Gentiles are presumed to be congenital liars and are disqualified from testifying in a rabbinical court. That's rich. In this respect, their position is, in theory the same as that of a Jewish woman, slaves, and minors, but in practice it is actually worse. A Jewish woman is nowadays admitted as a witness to certain matters of fact when the rabbinical court believes her, a Gentile, never. A problem therefore arises when a rabbinical court needs to establish a fact for which there are only Gentile witnesses. An important example of this

in cases concerning widows. By Jewish religious law, a woman can be declared a widow, and hence free to remarry, only if the death of her husband is proven with certainty by means of a witness who saw him die or identified his corpse. However, the rabbinical court will accept the hearsay evidence of a Jew who testifies to having heard the fact in question mentioned by a Gentile witness, provided the court is satisfied that the latter was speaking casually. rather than in reply to a direct question.

For a Gentile's direct answer to a Jew's direct question is presumed to be a lie. Another footnote. If necessary, a Jew, preferably a rabbi, will actually undertake to chat up the Gentile eyewitness and without asking direct question, extract from him a casual statement of the fact at issue. So a lot of presumptions here. all bad for you if you're a Gentile. Money and property, new heading. One.

Gifts. The Talmud bluntly forbids giving a gift to a Gentile. However, classical rabbinical authorities bent this rule because it is customary among businessmen to give gifts to business contacts. It was therefore laid down that a Jew may give a gift to a Gentile acquaintance, since this is regarded not as a true gift, but as a sort of investment. for which some return is expected. Gifts to unfamiliar Gentiles remain forbidden.

A broadly similar rule applies to alms giving. Giving alms to a Jewish beggar is an important religious duty. Alms to Gentile beggars are merely permitted for the sake of peace. However, there are numerous rabbinical warnings against allowing the Gentile poor to become accustomed to receiving alms from Jews so that it should be possible to withhold such alms without arousing undue hostility. Two, taking of interest. Anti-gentile discrimination in this matter

has become largely theoretical, in view of the dispensation explained in Chapter 3, which in effect allows interest to be extracted even from a Jewish borrower. However, it is still the case that granting an interest-free loan to a Jew is recommended as an act of charity, but from a Gentile borrower, it is mandatory to exact interest. In fact, many, though not all, rabbinical authorities, including

Mammonides, Mammonides, consider it mandatory to exact as much usury as possible and alone to a Gentile. You've already gone over that. Three, lost property. If a Jew finds property

whose probable owner is Jewish, the finder is strictly enjoined to make a positive effort to return his find by advertising it publicly. In contrast, the Talmud and all other early rabbinical authority, not only allow a Jewish finder to appropriate an article lost by a Gentile, but actually forbid him or her to return it.

Another footnote there. In more recent times, when laws were passed in most countries, making it mandatory to return lost articles to rabbinical authorities instructed Jews to do what these laws say as an act of civil obedience to the state, but not as a religious duty, that is, without making a positive effort to discover the owner if it is not probable that he is Jewish. Four. Deception and business. It is a grave sin to practice any kind of deception whatsoever against a Jew.

Against a Gentile, it is only forbidden to practice direct deception. Indirect deception is allowed, unless it is likely to cause hostility towards Jews or insult to the Jewish religion. The paradigmatic example is mistaken calculation of the price during per seigneur. If a Jew makes a mistake unfavorable to himself, it is one's religious duty to correct him. If a Gentile is spotted making such a mistake, one need not let him know about it, but say, I rely on your calculation. So as to forestall his hostility in case he subsequently discovers his own mistake.

Five, fraud. It is forbidden to defraud a Jew by selling or buying at an unreasonable price. However, fraud does not apply to Gentiles, for it is written, do not defraud each man his brother, but a Gentile who defrauds a Jew should be compelled to make good the fraud, but should not be punished more severely than a Jew in a similar case.

Theft and robbery. Stealing without violence is absolutely forbidden as the Shahan Aruk so nicely puts it, even from a Gentile. Robbery with violence is strictly forbidden if the victim is Jewish. However, robbery of a Gentile by a Jew is not forbidden outright, but only under certain circumstances, such as when the Gentiles are not under our rule, but is permitted when they are under our rule. Rabbinical authorities differ among themselves as to precise details of circumstances under which a Jew may rob a Gentile, but the whole debate is concerned only with the relative power of Jews and

Gentiles, rather than with universal considerations of justice and humanity. This may explain why so very few rabbis have protested against the robbery of Palestinian property in Palestinian property in Israel. It was backed by overwhelming Jewish power. There it is. All you need to do is current events. Current events back this up. One of the reasons I read this.

Gentiles in the land of Israel. New heading. In addition to the general anti-Gentile laws, the Halakha has special laws against Gentiles who live in the land of Israel, at ETSI Israel, or, in some cases, merely pass through it. These laws are designed to promote Jewish supremacy in that country. Literally have no problem with this at all. It's their country that can promote the laws, unless the, I mean,

I would just say, avoid that. fucking country. The exact geographical definition of the term land of Israel is much disputed in the Talmud and the Talmudic literature, and the debate has continued in modern times between the various shades of Zionist opinion. According to the maximalist view, the land of Israel includes, in addition to Palestine itself, not only the whole of Sinai, Jordan, Syria, and Lebanon, but also considerable parts of Turkey. The more prevalent minimalist interpretation posts the northern border only,

only about halfway through Syria and Lebanon at the latitude of Oms. This view was supported by Ben-Gurion. However, even those who thus exclude parts of Syria, Lebanon, agree that certain special discriminatory laws, though less oppressive than in the land of Israel proper, applied to the Gentiles of those parts because that territory was included in David's kingdom. And all Talmudic interpretations of the land of Israel include Cyprus. I shall now list a few of the special laws concerning Gentiles in the land of Israel. Their connection with actual Zionist practice will be quite apparent.

The Halakha forbids Jews to sell immovable property, fields and houses, in the land of Israel to Gentiles. In Syria, the sale of houses, but not of fields, is permitted. Leasing a house in the land of Israel to a Gentile is permitted under two conditions. First, if the house shall not be used for habitation, but for other purposes such as storage. Second, that three or more adjoining houses shall not be so least. These and several other rules are explained as follows. Quote, so that you shall not allow them to camp on the ground,

for if they do not possess land, their sojourn there will be temporary. End quote. Even temporary Gentile presence may only be tolerated, quote, when the Jews are in exile, or when the Gentile. are more powerful than the Jews, but, quoting, When the Jews are more powerful than the Gentiles, we are forbidden to let an idolater among us.

Even a temporary resident or itinerant traitor shall not be allowed to pass through our land unless he accepts the seven Noah Hyde precepts, for it is written, they shall not dwell in thy land. That is, not even temporarily. If he accepts the seven Noahide precepts, he becomes a resident alien, but it is forbidden to grant

the status of resident alien except at times when the Jubilee is held. That is when the temple stands and sacrifices are offered. However, during times when Jubilees are not held, it is forbidden to accept anyone who is not a full converts Judaism. It is therefore clear that, exactly as the leaders and sympathizers of Gush Eminum, Emunim, say, the whole question to how the Palestinians ought to be treated is, according to the halakha, simply a question of Jewish power. If Jews have sufficient power, then it is their religious duty to expel the Palestinians. Why haven't they done that? Why didn't they do that from this start? It's the question I ask all the time. Why didn't you just get rid of them? Right from the start, just throw them all out. You just say, you're not allowed here.

my take has always been that by having them there, they get to play the eternal victim status. Oh, look, look how nice we are to these people. And they just, they lot bottle rockets at us and throw rocks and stuff like that. It just gets to play their eternal victim. All these laws are often quoted by Israeli rabbis and their zealous followers. For example, the law forbidding the lease of three adjoining houses to Gentiles was solemnly quoted. by a rabbinical conference held in 1979 to discuss the Camp David treaties. The conference also declared that according to the halakha, even the autonomy that Began was ready

to offer to Palestinians is too liberal. Such pronouncements, which do in fact state correctly the position of the halukkah, are rarely contested by the Zionists left. In addition to laws such as those mentioned so far, which are directed at all Gentiles in the land of Israel, and even greater evil influence arises from special laws against the ancient Canaanites and other nations who lived in Palestine before its conquest by Joshua, as well as against the Amalekites. All those nations must be utterly exterminated, and the Talmud and Talmudic literature reiterate the genocidal biblical exhortations with even greater vehemence. influential rabbis who have a considerable following among Israeli army officers identify the Palestinians or even all Arabs with those ancient nations so that commands like thou shalt save alive nothing that breatheth acquire a topical meaning.

In fact, it is not uncommon for reserve soldiers called up to do a tour of duty in the Gaza Strip to be given an educational lecture in which they are told that the Palestinians of Gaza are like the Amalekites. Biblical verse is exhorting to genocide of the Midianites, were solemnly quoted by an important Israeli rabbi in justification of the Kibiya massacre. And this pronouncement has gained wide circulation in the Israeli army. There are many similar examples of bloodthirsty rabbinical pronouncements against the Palestinians based on these laws. So I did that episode with Lance Legion talking about the Chechens. and he's come to the conclusion, and it makes a lot of sense to me that even though they were exposed to orthodoxy

and they were exposed to other religions, that they chose Islam, because Islam is a warring religion, and they're a warring people by nature. When you read here that certain army officers are, go to influential rabbis, and they're going to rabbis who are more radical. Well, doesn't that make sense? If you're a soldier and you're in this ethno-religious, blood and soil, place, home, you know, country, and you're a soldier, and you're told that your enemy is right there,

and your enemy is Amalek, wouldn't you look for justification? If you're going to kill, if you know that you're, you're going in there to kill women and children, you would look for all the justification you can. You would seek out the most radical rabbis, because then they would be able to give you, they would give you the justification for what you're doing. I think that makes sense.

New heading, abuse. Under this heading, I would like to discuss examples of halakic laws whose most important effect is not so much to prescribe specific anti- Gentile discrimination as to inculcate an attitude of scorn and hatred towards Gentiles. Accordingly, in this section, I shall not confine myself to quoting from the most authoritative halakhic sources, as I have done so far, but include also less fundamental works, which are however widely used in religious instruction. Let us begin with a text of some common prayers.

Oh, this is going to upset somebody. In one of the first sections of the daily morning prayer, what about the, what about the the midday prayer? What about the evening prayer? In one of the first sections of the daily morning prayer, every devout Jew blesses God for not making him a Gentile. The concluding section of the daily prayer, which is also used in the most solemn part of the service on New Year's Day and on Yom Kippur, opens with the statement, we must praise the Lord of all, for not making us like the nations of all lands, for they bow down to vanity and nothingness and pray to a God that does not help. The last clause was censored out of the prayer books, but in Eastern Europe it was supplied

orally and has now been restored into many Israeli printed prayer books. In the most important section of the weekday prayer, the 18 blessings, there is a special curse originally directed against Christians, Jewish converse of Christianity, and other Jewish heretics. And may the apostates have no hope and all the Christians perish instantly. This formula dates from the end of the first century when Christianity was still a small persecuted sect. Sometime before the 14th century, it was softened into, and may the apostates have no hope and all the heretics perish instantly, and after additional pressure into, and may the informers have no hope and all the heretics perish instantly.

After the establishment of Israel, the process was reversed and many newly printed prayer books reverted to the second formula, which was also prescribed by many teachers in religious Israeli schools. After 1967, several congregations close to Gush and Munim have restored the first version, so far only verbally, not in print, and now pray daily that the Christians may perish instantly. This process of reversion happened in the period when the Catholic Church under Pope John the 23rd removed from its Good Friday service a prayer which asked the Lord to have mercy on Jews, heretics, etc. This prayer was thought by most Jewish leaders to be offensive and even anti-Semitic. But, yeah, I don't even have to say it. What am I going to say, what if the roles were reversed? Apart from the fixed daily prayers, a devout Jew must utter special short blessings on various occasions, both good and bad.

For example, while putting on a new piece of clothing, eaten a seasonal fruit for the first time that year, seeing powerful lightning, hearing bad news, etc. Some of these occasional prayers serve to inculcate hatred and scorn for all Gentiles. We have mentioned in Chapter 2 the rule according to which a pious Jew must utter a curse when passing near a Gentile Cemetery, whereas he must bless God when passing near a Jewish cemetery. A similar rule applies to the living. Thus, when seeing a large Jewish population, a devout Jew must praise God, while upon seeing a large Gentile population, he must utter a curse.

Nor are buildings exempt. The Talmud lays down that a Jew who passes near an inhabited non-Jewish dwelling must ask God to destroy it, whereas if the building is in ruins, he must thank God, he must thank the Lord of vengeance. Naturally, the rules are reversed for Jewish houses. This rule was easy to keep for Jewish peasants who lived in their own villages or for small urban communities living in all Jewish townships or quarters. Under the conditions of classical Judaism, however, it became impracticable and was therefore

confined to churches and places of worship and other religions except Islam. In this connection, the rule was further embroidered by custom. It became customary to spit, usually three times, upon seeing a church or a crucifix, as an embellishment to the obligatory formula of regret. Sometimes insulting biblical verses were also added. There is also a series of rules forbidding any expression of praise for Gentiles or for their deeds, except where such praise implies an even greater praise of Jews and things Jewish. This rule is still observed by Orthodox.

Jews. For example, the writer Agnon, when interviewed on the Israeli radio upon his return from Stockholm, where he received the Nobel Prize for Literature, praised the Swedish Academy, but hasten to add, I am not forgetting that it is forbidden to praise Gentiles, but here there is a special reason for my praise. That is, that they awarded the prize to a Jew. Similarly, it is forbidden to join any manifestation of popular Gentile rejoicing, except where failing to join in, might cause hostility towards Jews, in which case a minimal show of joy is allowed. In addition to the rules mentioned so far, there are many other whose effect is to inhibit human friendship between Jew and Gentile. I shall mention two examples. The rule on libation wine

and that on preparing food for a Gentile on Jewish holy days. A religious Jew must not drink any wine in whose preparation a Gentile had any part whatsoever. Wine and wine and wine in an open bottle, even if prepared wholly by Jews, becomes banned if a Gentile so much just touches the bottle or passes a hand over it. The reason given by the rabbis is that all Gentiles are not only idolaters, but must be presumed to be malicious to boot, so that they are likely to dedicate by a whisper gesture of thought, as libation to their idol, any wine which a Jew is about to drink. The law applies in full force to all Christians, and in slightly attenuated form, also to Muslims.

An open bottle of wine touched by a Christian must be poured away, but if touched by a Muslim, it can be sold or given away, although it must not be drunk by a Jew. The law applies equally to Gentile atheists. How can one be sure that they are not merely pretending to be atheists, but not to Jewish atheists? The laws against doing work on the Sabbath apply to a lesser extent on other holy days. In particular, on a holy day, which does not happen to fall on Saturday, it is permitted It is permitted to do any work required for preparing food to be eaten during the holy day or days.

Legally, this is defined as preparing a soul's food, but soul is interpreted to mean Jew, and Gentiles are dogs, and Gentiles and dogs are explicitly excluded. There is, however, a dispensation in favor of powerful Gentiles, whose hostility can be dangerous. It is permitted to cook food on a holy day for a visitor belonging to this category. provided he is not actively encouraged to come and eat. An important effect on all these laws, quite apart from their application and practice, is in the attitude created by their constant study, which, as a part of the study of the halakha, is regarded by classical Judaism as a supreme religious duty.

Thus, an Orthodox Jew learns from his earliest youth as part of his sacred studies, that Gentiles are compared to dogs, that it is a sin to praise them, and so on and so forth. As a matter of fact, in this respect, textbooks for beginners have a worse effect than the Talmud and the Great Talmudic codes. One reason for this is that such elementary texts give more detailed explanations, phrased so as to influence young and uneducated minds, out of a large number of such texts. I have chosen the one which is currently most popular in Israel, and has been reprinted in many cheap editions heavily subsidized by the Israeli government. It is the book of education, written by an anonymous rabbi in early 14th century Spain.

It explains the 613 religious obligations of Judaism in the order in which they are supposed to be found in the Pentateuch, according to the Talmudic interpretation, discussed in Chapter 3. It owes its lasting influence and popularity to the clear and easy Hebrew style in which it is written. A central didactic aim of this point is, book is to emphasize the correct meaning of the Bible with respect to such terms as fellow, friend, or man, which we have referred to in chapter three. Because fellow friends or man, they have to narrow that down so that it's not universal. Thus, 219 devoted to, is that page 219, devoted to the religious obligation, or no, 219 would be the rule. Number 219.

devoted to the religious obligation arising from the verse, Thou shalt love thy fellow as thyself is entitled, a religious obligation to love Jews and explains, quoting, To love every Jew strongly means that we should care for a Jew and his money, just as one cares for oneself and one's own money. For it is written, thou shalt love thy fellow as thyself, and our sages of blessed memory said, What is hateful to you, you do not do to your friend.

and many other religious obligations follow from this, because one who loves one's friend as oneself will not steal his money, or commit adultery with his wife, or defraud him of his money, or deceive him verbally, or steal his land, or harm him in any way. Also, many other religious obligations depend on this, as is known to any reasonable man. In 32, dealing with the duty to keep a Gentile slave enslaved forever, whereas a Jewish slave must be set to,

free after seven years, the following explanation is given. Quote, and at the root of this religious obligation is the fact that the Jewish people are the best of the human species, created to know their creator and worship him, and worthy of having slaves to serve them. And if they will not have slaves of other people, they would have to enslave their brothers, who would thus be unable to serve the Lord, blessed be he. Therefore, we are commanded to possess those for our service after they are prepared for this, and after idolatry is removed from their speech so that there should not be danger in our houses. And this is the intention of the verse. But over your brethren, the children of Israel, ye shall not rule one over another with rigor, so that you will not

have to enslave your brothers who are all ready to worship God. In 545, dealing with the religious obligation to exact interest on money lent to Gentiles, the law is stated as follows, that we are commanded to demand interest from Gentiles when we lend money to them, and we must not lend to them without interest. The explanation is, quoting, and at the root of this religious obligation is that we should not do any act of mercy except to the people who know God and worship him, and when we refrain from doing merciful deeds to the rest of mankind, and do so only to the former, we are being tested that the main part of love and mercy to them is because they follow the religion of God, blessed be he. Behold with this intention our reward from God when we withhold mercy

from the others as equal to that for doing merciful deeds to members of our own people. Similar distinctions are made in numerous other passages in explaining the ban against delaying a worker's wage. The author is careful to point out that the sin is less serious if the worker is a gentile. The prohibition against cursing is entitled not to curse any Jew whether man or woman, similarly, the prohibitions against giving misleading advice, hating other people, shaming them or taking revenge on them, applies only to fellow Jews. The ban against following Gentile customs mean that Jews must not only remove themselves from Gentiles, but also speak ill of all their behavior, even of their dress.

It must be emphasized that the explanations quoted above do represent correctly the teaching of the Halika. The rabbis, and even worse, the apologetic scholars of Judea, know this very well, and for this reason, they do not try to argue against such views inside the Jewish community, and of course they never mention them outside it. Instead, they vilify any Jew who raises these matters within earshot of Gentiles, and they issued deceitful denials in which the art of equivocation reaches its summit. For example, they state using general terms the importance which Judaism attaches to mercy, but what they forget to point out is that

according to the Holocaust mercy means mercy towards Jews. Anyone who lives in Israel knows how deep and widespread these attitudes of hatred and cruelty towards all Gentiles are among the majority of Israeli Jews. Normally, these attitudes are disguised from the outside world, but since the establishment of the state of Israel, the 1967 war and the rise of Began, a significant minority of Jews, both in Israel and abroad, have gradually become more open about such matters. In recent years, the inhuman precepts, according to which servitude is the natural lot of Gentiles have been publicly quoted in Israel, even on TV, by Jewish farmers exploiting Arab labor,

particularly child labor. Gush Eminum leaders have quoted religious precepts, which enjoin Jews to oppress Gentiles, as a justification of the attempt to assassination of Palestinian mayors, and as divine authority for their own plan to expel all the Arabs from Palestine. While many Zionists reject these positions politically, their standard counter-arguments are based on considerations of expediency and Jewish self-interest, rather than on universally valid principles of humanism and ethics. For example, they argue that the exploitation and oppression of Palestinians by Israelis

tends to corrupt Israeli society, or that the expulsion of the Palestinians is impracted. under present political conditions, or that Israeli acts of terror against the Palestinians tend to isolate Israel internationally. In principle, however, virtually all Zionists, and in particular, left Zionists, share the deep anti-Gentile attitudes, which Orthodox Judaism keenly promotes. So if they're making the arguments that, if they're coming out from practical arguments, hey, we shouldn't be doing this because, let's use, it tends to isolate Israel internationally.

what they're doing now, this is why they have to continually bring up October 7th and even exaggerate and completely fabricate laws. Baby baked an oven, up to 40 beheaded babies, all of these things. They have to do that because they understand that it can, it can isolate Israel internationally. Now, I've also heard arguments that that's what Israel wants. They want to be isolated internationally.

And by doing that, it brings Jewish people together. That if everybody hates them, then Jews are just going to come together and they'll, basically, they got them. even people who didn't talk about their Judaism before or rarely brought it up in passing before October 7.

In the foregoing several examples of the rabbinical attitudes to these two religions were given in passing, but it will be useful to summarize these attitudes here. Judaism is imbued with a very deep hatred towards Christianity, combined with ignorance about it. This attitude was clearly aggravated by the Christian persecution of Jews, but is largely independence of them. In fact, it dates from the time when Christianity was still weak and persecuted, not least by Jews, and it was shared by Jews who had never been persecuted by Christians or who were even helped by them.

Thus, Maimonides—Mimonides—why can't I remember that every single time? Thus, Maimonides was subjected to Muslim persecutions by the regime of the Almohads and escaped from them first to the Crusaders' kingdom of Jerusalem, but this did not change his views in the least. This deeply negative attitude is based on two main elements. First, on hatred and malicious slanders against Jesus. The traditional view of Judaism on Jesus must, of course, be sharply distinguished from the nonsensical controversy between anti-Semites and Jewish apologists concerning the responsibility for his execution.

Most modern scholars of that period admit that due to the lack of original and contemporary accounts, the late composition of the Gospels and the contradictions between them, accurate historical knowledge of the circumstances of Jesus' execution is not available. Okay, so he's just going at the later dates for this. Later dates for the Gospels. It's fine. I've taken courses, and I've studied all. He's having a good discussion yesterday with somebody about just all the stuff that I learned,

all the textual criticisms and everything, and they are out there, and they cause people in class to drop the class. even though it was required. I mean, like, literally that that class made them leave. In any case, the notion of collective and inherited guilt is both wicked and absurd. However, what is at issue here is not the actual facts about Jesus, but the inaccurate and even slanderous reports in the Talmud and post-Talmudic literature, which is what Jews believed until the 19th century,

and many, especially in Israel, still believe. For these reports certainly played an important role in forming the Jewish attitude to Christianity. According to the Talmud, Jesus was executed by a proper rabbinical court for idolatry and citing other Jews to idolatry and contempt of rabbinical authority. All classical Jewish sources,

which mention his execution, are quite happy to take responsibility for it. In the Talmudic account, the Romans are not even mentioned. So you're over there arguing on Twitter with Jews who are like, and people or other Christians or whatever and they're like oh the Jews and like in the Talmud they're just like yeah we did it okay what you're going to do about it the more popular

accounts which were nevertheless taken quite seriously such as the notorious told that Yeshua are even worse for in addition to the above crimes they accuse them of witchcraft the very name Jesus was for Jews a symbol of all that is abominable and this popular tradition still persists. What's interesting about the whole witchcraft thing is, is that because maybe miracles thing? If you read the text, there were other people doing miracles at the time. I mean, that's why he had to raise the dead. That's why he had to raise Lazarus after, I think, two days.

Because it was like, okay, somebody might be turning a clay pigeon into a bird, but no one's raising anyone from the dead. The gospels are equally detested, and they, are not allowed to be quoted, let alone taught, even in modern Israeli Jewish schools. Secondly, for theological reasons, mostly rooted in ignorance, Christianity as a religion, is classed by rabbinical teaching as idolatry. This is based on a crude interpretation of the Christian doctrines on the Trinity and incarnation. All the Christian emblems and pictorial representations are regarded as idols, even by those Jews who literally worships,

scrolls, stones, or personal belongings of holy men. The attitude of Judaism towards Islam is, in contrast, relatively mild. I will never, I swear, Bright-Bard Americans and Schofield Americans and people who live through 9-11, you just will not get this. You just, you don't get this. You're going to think this is a lie. you do not realize that Jews and Muslims live side by side over the conquered Spanish for six, seven hundred years? What was the problem?

Jews help them conquer Spain. They've always been treated nicer in Muslim countries than they've been treated in Christian countries. Why? I don't know. Let's hear what we got here. The attitude of Judaism towards Islam is, in contrast, relatively mild. Although the stock epithet given to Muhammad is madmen, Mashuga, this was not nearly as offensive as it may sound now, and in any case it pales before the abusive terms applied to Jesus.

Similarly, the Quran, unlike the New Testament, is not condemned to burning. It is not honored in the same way as Islamic law honors the Jewish sacred scrolls, but is treated as an ordinary book. Most rabbinical authorities agree that Islam is not idol, although some leaders of Gush Emunim now choose to ignore this. Therefore, the halakha decrees that Muslims should not be treated by Jews any worse than ordinary Gentiles, but also no better. Again, my mom and my, why, why? My mom and adies.

My mom and these? My mom in these? Can serve as an illustration. He explicitly states that Islam is not idolatry, and in his philosophical works, he quotes, with great respect. many Islamic philosophical authorities. He was, as I have mentioned before, personal physicians to Saladin and his family, and by Saladin's order, he was appointed chief over all Egypt's Jews. Yet the rules he lays down against saving a Gentile's life, except in order to avert danger to Jews, apply equally to Muslims. All right there. The next episode is going to be Chapter 6, which is only a few

pages. And then I think I'm going to go through some of the footnotes. I think I'm going to have two windows open and I'll scroll through and read some of the footnotes to some of the passages that maybe people, you know, roll their eyes at or like, huh, what? That doesn't make any sense. So I think that's what I'm going to do next. So, yeah, the next one will just be political consequences of what everything he's taught us.
