and distortions

Much of anti-Semitism appears to have its origins in the supposed belief that Jews must intrinsically hate Christianity and humanity in general. Of course, this is not true, but it does not stop the production of vast amounts of anti-Semitic propaganda to this effect. This belief is often combined with the idea that Jews are somehow not human, but must have access to various subterfuges or even magic to give, at least, the appearance of being human and thus be able to "infiltrate" and "corrupt" normal society. Indeed, many societies have blamed "the Jews" for all their problems. It follows from these beliefs that Jews must therefore be exterminated in order for society to function normally, and sadly, this has been tried on more than one occasion. The types of fears and misconceptions at work in these cases are among the most ancient and primordial in existence. Perhaps if those that blamed "the Jews" for their problems had the same devotion to education, learning and personal advancement that Jews typically do, they wouldn't have whatever problems they are blaming Jews for.
This is a project to provide responses to the anti-Semites who post alleged quotes from the Talmud and other
anti-Jewish propaganda in a way intended to promote hatred of Jews. These "Talmud quotes" and other material
are either entire fabrications, mistranslations or out of context. This is a sample of the first small completed section. If you have any comments I would be happy to hear them. I would like to thank all the people who have contributed answers. Each contribution includes the author's name or initials. I would also like to thank Frances for starting this site and for ongoing support. There are also several other documents that I am working on. Most of the "Talmud quotes" come from the Russian anti-Semite Rev. I. B. Pranaitis, who had a criminal record and was "Master of Theology and Professor of the Hebrew Language at the Imperial Ecclesiastical Academy of the Roman Catholic Church" in Old St. Petersburg, Russia. He wrote this material around the turn of the century in a booklet in Latin with the English title of "The Talmud Unmasked". He was a self-identified Talmudic "scholar" who testified at the B. Mendel Beilis "Blood Libel" case and was laughed out of court when asked some very basic questions on the Talmud which he couldn't answer. Nevertheless, his legacy survives and it is about time there was a response to it. So here is the first part.
Note: This site will not attempt to deal with Holocaust denial. For those requiring proof that the Holocaust did occur, please visit http://www.nizkor.org or http://www.holocaust-history.org Please also visit Hatewatch http://hatewatch.org "An educational resource combatting online bigotry". Some of this material is also mirrored there. For Holocaust-denial resources in French please visit http://www.anti-rev.org/ and http://rafale.worldnet.net/~gilkarm/
Some falsified or mistranslated Talmud quotes and accusations that are cited here or elsewhere are discussed in great detail, complete with the original Aramaic or Hebrew at http://talmud.faithweb.com
Please let me know if there is specific material you would like me to address that is not already answered on these pages. Also, I still have a large amount of material that I have not yet put up. I may have already dealt with the claims. Please let me know if you are interested in translating any of this material into other languages, especially Eastern European ones...
