Anti-Gentile Statements in the Talmud
A great deal of conflict would be resolved in human relationships if both sides understood the proper context for the other sides words or behaviors.
There is a site, I won’t mention it’s name or link to it, that is rabidly anti-semitic. It pulls out quotes from the Talmud and Mishnah to “prove” how Jews hate gentiles and aim take over the world. Heaven forbid!
Such hatred lacks far more than proper context.
However, the wondering web surfer who stumbles on this filth need only lack proper context for this hatred to poison his views.
Here’s the proper context for seemingly anti-Gentile statements from the Talmud:
**
“The wise will understand on their own that the gentiles in whose lands we currently reside are not like those who were in the time of the Sages of the Talmud. The latter were idolators who worshiped the stars and the constellations, and were attached to all forms of abomination. They knew not God nor recognized His holy words. But the nations of our day fear God and honor His Torah; doing kindness and justice in their lands, and charity with the Jews who take refuge under their wings.
Heaven forbid that we should either say or write anything disrespectful about them. Thus, any reference [in this book] to nations, gentiles and people of the world and the like, refers only to those idolators that lived in the time of the Mishnah [and Talmud].”
**
Words in [brackets] were my own addition.
This statement is taken from the title page of a holy book I recently began studying, and it was written about 200 years ago - how much more so is this statement true today!
In the End of Days, Jews and Gentiles will have a God-centered relationship of peace and mutual cooperation toward bringing godlinesss into the world.
Of course, if you find the concept of God threatening, then you’ll find Jews threatening. Hence anti-semitism throughout the ages. But if you love God…then you should “love whom your Beloved loves“!

Goyim meaning non bnai brit peoples worship avodah zarah. They did in the times of the Talmud and they do today. What is avodah zarah? The term is a general term. Whereas idolatry describes specifics. Confusing a specific term for a general term - this is worse than sloppy scholarship, its outright deception and falsehood.
Defining avodah zarah makings the floating castles come down to earth. I so hate religious rhetoric! The ancient Greeks the Talmud considers as being worshippers of avodah zarah. Consider the 5th axiom of Euclidean geometry. “Given a line and a point not on the line, there is only one line through the point parallel to the given line”. This has no proof. Why? Because its not true. Hyperbolic geometry, the inverse of Spherical geometry has proven that infinite lines can be drawn through that “point” and still be parallel to the “given line”.
What does this mean in actuality? Simply this: The ancient Greeks employed their knowledge of geometry to explore the Heavens the kingdoms where their gods lived. There mathmatics limits the reality of their gods unto a 3 dimensional reality; the scientific method which limits its research unto empirical evidence makes the exact same error. Then as today the wise men/women among the goyim limit the rulership of HaShem unto a 3 dimensional reality.
Jews are not much better, as a Jew what the brit means and he/she thinks “circumcision”. Worlds of distinction separate a brit from a sign of this same brit! Loads of Jews cry Moshiach redeem your chosen people from galut blah blah. Before Rosh HaShanna we Jews read the Parsha of the Curses. The most bitter curse in the Torah, that Israel would return unto Egypt. Meaning we cease to be free people who have responsibility for the consequences of OUR choices. Instead we return unto being slaves, our masters being non bnai brit. This curse is so terrible b/c it negates the faith of blessing and curses life and death therefore choose life. A slave has no choice. A free man can perceive distress as the mercy of HaShem, like as found in the Book of Judges, which cause the Chosen People to turn unto t’shuva change our ways of forsaking the Torah “AS THE BNAI BRIT NATION” as opposed unto individualism of non bnai brit spirituality. and cause through our Torah observance the blessing to shower our nation like the rains in their due seasons. The galut Moshiach based upon a Torah curse has decieved and destroyed so many seduced by its ervah/nakedness.

I too would like to know where the qoute in the blog: Anti-Gentile Statements in the Talmud is found. If you can please let me know I would greatly appreciate it. If you can recommend some books on defending Talmud against the Anti-Semitic statements they “find” in the Talmud, I would greatly appreciate it.
