We're not going to come to an agreement on this, but the Gospels are clear the Romans were just doing the will of the Jews, and tried multiple times to figure out a way not to crucify Jesus and were thwarted each time.


They went full bore torture, mockery, and literally the most painful, humiliating form of execution they had, but somehow they really didn't want to kill the guy?


Yes.


That's idiotic.


If you're wondering why some Christian's have animosity towards Jews, it's because they have the chutzpah to call millennia old widely held beliefs "idiotic"


Yeah, totally logical to slaughter people, lock them in ghettos, and destroy their lives. Totally proportional response.


If you get kicked out of 1 bar, it might be the bar's problem.

If you get kicked out of 100+ bars, it might be time for some soul searching.


Ah, yes, totally not the antisemitic groyper meme, right? Yeah, it's the Jews' fault for not becoming Christian. They deserved to be slaughtered periodically and used as scapegoats by rulers and the Church.


You can send the groypers to the salt mines for all I care, they give the Catholic right a terrible name.

I've already said that persecution is tautologically bad, and the Jews have been persecuted. However, the depth and breadth of the persecution point towards a penchant for antagonizing their host.

So we're doing the meme thing. Cool. Sanhedrin 57 is talking about the authority of the Sanhedrin to level punishment. It can't level a punishment when the matter involves a Jew and a non-Jew. It is not saying killing gentiles is permitted. There is a debate through the pages about the applicability of these rules using extreme examples.

More evidence that you're just quoting bull**** memes: Avodah Zarah doesn't have this quote and the actual quote is from a minor tractate, not the Talmud, referencing killing enemies in war. The rabbi in question is discussing the Egyptians who manned the chariots during the escape from slavery.

Meme is the best description of the Talmud I've heard. Well said

"A gentile who studies Torah is liable for death"

"If the ox of a Jew gores the ox of a canaanite there is no liability, but if an ox of a canaanite gores the ox of a Jew, he pays full damages"

"The offspring of a gentile is like that of a beast"

Quote:

For nearly all the European medieval era, Jewish people served as landlords, managers, and middlemen for foreign rulers of conquered people. If the Germans conquered the Baltics, for instance, the conquering lords would not move there themselves. They would empower the local Jews to govern the native Baltic peoples, and administer law in their stead. Sometimes this was done ruthlessly and brutally. It the equivalent of carpet baggers after the Civil War in the US.


This is largely not true, particularly the idea of Jews as landlords or middlemen. There were short periods in the High Middle Ages in Poland where something like this happened in some places at some times. Largely, Jews were forbidden from owning land and forced to live in ghettos. The Church tried to force the subjugation of Jews and limit their economic opportunities. A few were able to work as money lenders or middlemen because they were seen as not-beholden to local political and religious rivalries. But it was also because they owed their safety and security to local lords who could seize Jewish property and money if needed without consequence.



Landlord is the wrong word. On site administrator or enforcer would be more accurate. It's part of a time honored playbook. Conquer an area, put a disfavored minority in charge, and let them oppress the majority on your behalf. It's pretty standard for all of human history. Jews took part in this cycle as the disaffected minority that was put as middle men between the majority and the conquering ruling class, at least in Eastern Europe

Let's have a look at the text.

The paragraph that you seem to be referring to is:

Quote:

The Gemara challenges: But wherever there is liability for capital punishment, this tanna teaches it; as it is taught in the first clause: With regard to bloodshed, if a gentile murders another gentile, or a gentile murders a Jew, he is liable. If a Jew murders a gentile, he is exempt. Evidently, the term liable is used in the baraita.

First, a couple of notes about the context:

  • "The Gemara" is a complex legal discussion, which often states multiple opinions about a specific Torah law, some of which are later rejected.
  • The passage is part of a broader discussion about the Seven Laws of Noah, the universal laws that apply to non-Jews according to Jewish tradition.

It's not saying that Jews are allowed to kill non-Jews with impunity, just that such a case isn't prosecuted as a capital crime in a Jewish court. The passage doesn't address how a non-Jewish court should handle it.

The Torah has an absolute prohibition on murder. (Though, note that "murder" specifically means the killing of a person who is harmless to you, as opposed to warfare or self-defense.) This is stated most famously in Exodus 20:13, as one of the Ten Commandments. Also "Whoever destroys a single life, it is as if he destroyed an entire world" (Sanhedrin 37a), with no qualification on race or religion.

See also Where does the Torah prohibit the killing of non-Jews? on Judaism Stack Exchange.

Quo Vadis? said:

What about Avodah Zarah 26b? "The best of the non-Jews; kill him. The best of the snakes, crush their head

Avodah Zarah 26b says nothing about killing. Are you sure that's the correct citation?

A Google search attributes the statement to Rabbi Shimon bar Yohai, in Kiddushin.4.11.7 in the Jerusalem Talmud. But it's just his opinion (likely influenced by the cruel rule of Emperor Hadrian), not an actual law.

On the same page there's an argument from another rabbi that a gentile who engages in Torah study is equal to the High Priest. Funny how you don't quote that saying. Maybe it just says you don't know jack **** about the Talmud and are relying on antisemitic quote mining.

100 years ago if you heard about a terrorist attack in Jerusalem you would have assumed (rightly) it conducted by Zionists against Arabs or the British.

You don't have to support either side in this conflict. It's super easy.
Sorry... I support Israel in this conflict. I know it isn't politically correct to say it, but some cultures are just inferior to others. And in this case, the Muslim 'culture' is vastly inferior to the Judeo Christian Western culture. If after watching them celebrate the murder of babies and a person still can't see the difference.... I'm not sure they ever will.
Just another example of the highlighted section above....



There are other more graphic video clips out there about the recent atrocities, but this one makes the point adequately.

It's hard to prove a negative.

But, for example, how many campus protests did leftists have against Sudan when it was killing Dafuri people? Or against Ethiopia during the Tigray War?

I'm sure there were some, but as I recall, these genocides got nowhere near the condemnation that Russia (largely deservedly) or Israel is getting today, despite the high body count.

"A gentile who studies Torah is liable for death"

Sanhedrin 59a

The prohibition refers to in-depth study of Jewish law that is specific to Jews. A non-Jew following not required of them (such as Shabbat observance) is seen as improper (unless they're in the process of converting to Judaism or otherwise have a good reason for it).

Note that the very same passage says that a gentile who studies the Seven Laws of Noah "is considered like a High Priest".

And also that there is not a single recorded historical instance of a Jewish court actually killing a non-Jew for studying the wrong parts of the Torah. Jews generally treats the death penalty like the state of California does: Something that a lot of people theoretically deserve, but hardly anybody actually gets. The modern State of Israel (albeit a secular state and not a theocracy) has only put two criminals to death in its entire history.

Bava Kamma 37b

This is another one of those rules that applies when Jews and non-Jews have separate legal systems.

Quote:

"The offspring of a gentile is like that of a beast"
Yevamot 98a. At least, that's the closest thing I could find. "The offspring of a male gentile is considered no more related to him than the offspring of donkeys and horses."

The context is a discussion of the laws regarding inheritance, incest, intermarriage, paternity, and other family law stuff. A practical application is if a non-Jewish man has children and later converts to Judaism. In Jewish law, his non-Jewish children are not automatically considered his heirs.

And let's face it, there are cultures existing today where paternity is often in question, and where people breed "like animals".

It's not saying that the offspring of a gentile is like a beast in terms of lacking human rights and dignity.

BTW, how come you didn't cite any of your quotes?

I am a person who admires Judaism, but too lazy to convert.


What does that mean?


Converting to Judaism is a process that takes years of intense study supervised by a rabbi who agrees to support the person.


"Intense" is relative to the rabbi, and reform (as you know) has all types of rabbis.


Your hatred of Reform Judaism is repeatedly noted.


I have a relative that converted. I've got some insight you might not appreciate but nonetheless is true.


Cool. You've got one relative. There aren't very many people that convert to Judaism and of those, very few do conversions that don't meet a minimum standard. If they don't, those conversions are likely to not be recognized by anyone outside of that one synagogue. That goes for Reform congregations, Conservative, and certainly Orthodox. If they didn't go through study, have a formal Mikvah ceremony, a formal Beit Din of 3 rabbis, a Brit Milah or hatafat dam brit (if male), they won't be recognized as properly converted.
