Text from youtube video

This is the text from my youtube video (at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-1tREjzpV6w )
Talmud Exposed Response. See the inside story from a Jewish Perspective on the Talmud- No more blunt lies against Judaism and the Talmud- Blood Libels is what they are doing!!! Visit my Chanel page for more information...
Jewish extensive literature contains hundreds of thousands of books.
To be a formal judge of Jewish law could take 40 years of study.
Now open a book and read a line... are you sure you got it right?
I would like to shed some truth on the things that are now being said on many websites and videos against Jews and the Talmud – the Jewish book of laws and customs.
Texts are being read out of context misinterpreted or words completely changed from our holy books.They “prove” that Jews are pedophiles, robbers, killers, cheaters and so on. They try to create a twisted image of a nation and only God knows its consequences...It is important to note that the idea of respect for others, and the values of a pluralistic society, form an old, integral part of Judaism and Jewish tradition. The rabbis taught that all men are equal in the eyes of G-d -- if they do the will of G-d: the Talmud says "Whether Jew or gentile, man or woman, rich or poor -- according to a man's deeds does G-d's presence rest on him."The
Accusations:When a Jew murders a Gentile ("Cuthean"), there will be no death penalty.
This is the saying of Rabbi Simon ben Yohai: Tob shebe goyyim harog ("Even the best of the gentiles should all be killed").The True Facts:
What they show is a part of a long full page:
From the above teaching we see that R. Shimon ben Yochai was discussing a case of war. The G-d-fearers among the Egyptians listened to Moses warning about the ten plagues and saved the life of their animals,this same Eguptians allowed their animals to be used in battle against the Jews. Presumably, these people went along with their animals and drove the chariots. We now see that the G-d-fearers, the "good" among the gentiles, were doing battle with the Jews. To this R. Shimon ben Yochai said that, when in battle, do not try to spare the lives of those opposing soldiers who appear to be fine, upstanding people. Kill any enemy soldier, regardless of their character. This contextual approach to understanding R. Shimon ben Yochai's statement is how the post-Talmudic literature has read this statement. Reading R. Shimon ben Yochai's teaching as a single-sentence imperative to kill all gentiles is simply wrong and is not how Jewish scholars have ever understood it.
Is this murder forbidden? Absolutely

Acusations:What a Jew steals from a Gentile he may keep.Minor Tractates. Soferim 15, Rule 10.
Jews May Steal from Non-Jews, Baba Mezia 24a. (Affirmed also in Baba Kamma 113b).
The True FActs:
Shulchan Aruch (Code of Jewish Law) Choshen Mishpat 348:2

Anyone who steals even a minor amount violates the prohibition of [Leviticus 19:11] "You shall not steal" and is required to repay [the amount stolen] whether one steals from a Jew or a gentile.
Shulchan Aruch Choshen Mishpat 359:1

It is forbidden to rob or to cheat even a minor amount from either a Jew or a gentile.
This is perhaps one of the worst lies stated. The Talmud and post-Talmudic literature absolutely and unequivocally forbid lying to anyone, whether Jew or gentile. It is forbidden to cheat or to profit from the Talmud Chullim 94a.:
As Shmuel said: It is forbidden to deceive anyone, even an idolatrous gentile
This statement is affirmed in Maimonides' famous legal work the Mishneh Torah (Hilchot Deiot 2:6) and in the Shulchan Aruch (code of law - Choshen Mishpat 228:6). The concept is evident throughout Jewish literature.
Maimonides: And similiarly, lies, tricks, subterfuges, cheatings, and circumventions of gentiles are forbidden. They said [as quoted above] 'It is forbidden to deceive anyone, even an idolatrous gentile' and even more so when it can lead to the desecration of G-d's name. For that is a great sin and imbues in a person bad traits. And all these wicked actions G-d explained that He will be disgusted with them and with those who perform them, as it says: (Deuteronomy 18:12) "For anyone who does these is an abomination of G-d."
What the Talmud DID refer was that a Jew is not obligated to correct a gentile's business mistakes. The Jew may not trick the gentile but if the gentile has been careless then the sale is nevertheless valid.This however is discouraged and even when some of those apparent unjust laws abided, even then we were are also expected to go beyond the law and give similar rights to non Jews alike in order to sanctify G-ds name and because of "the way of peace" many times quoted in the Gemorah
The Gemorah states that "the law of the country is the law" which means that as of today's exile Jews must abide to the laws of the nations.More Lies:
The Accusation:
Yevamot 11b: "sexual intercourse with a little girl is permitted if she is three years of age"-"A gentile girl who is three years old can be violated" (both misquoted)
The True Facts:Talmud Ketuvot 11b (The citation mentioned is evidently in error. Talmud Yevamot 11b has no relevant passage): Rav Yehudah said in the name of Rav: A male child who has relations with a female adult causes her to be like one who was injured with a stick
Rava said: This is what was meant - an adult male who has relations with a female child has not done anything because less than this [three years old] is like sticking a finger into an eyeball.While those unused to these Talmudic discussions might be taken aback by the use of euphemisms, the discussion here relates to the dowry for virgins and non-virgins. A virgin receives a higher dowry. While the tell-tale sign of virginity is the release of blood due to the breaking of the hyman on the wedding night, there are occasions when the hyman has already been broken such as when the woman suffered an injury. The Talmud here adds that a sexual act with a male minor is not considered to be a loss of virginity because one of the participants is not fully active. While the female's hyman may have been broken, she has not engaged in what can be classified as a sexual act (although it is certainly child abuse).
The Talmud continues that a sexual act between a male adult and a female under the age of three is also not considered a loss of virginity (although it is child abuse). Since the girl is too young for her hyman to be broken, she is still considered a virgin.
That non-marital sexual relations is prohibited is stated explicitly by Maimonides in the following passage from his ground-breaking legal code Mishneh Torah: Maimonides, Mishneh Torah, Hilchot Ishut 1:
Whoever has licentious relations with a woman without marriage bonds is lashed by biblical mandate
The claim that the Talmud, or normative Judaism, permits sexual relations with a minor is entirely incorrect. Judaism as a religion prohibits sexual relations, indeed even minor touching such as holding hands, outside of marriage.
-"The Akum (non-Jew) is like a dog. Yes, the scripture teaches to honour the the dog more than the non-Jew."Ereget Raschi Erod. 22 30 The Truth: What's in fact written is that non Jews can also benefit from Jews and receive non kosher (non ritual) meat (like the dog ...) like the dog would mean that the law is the same as that of the dog ...Scripture is actually favoring the gentile.Accusation:
"A pregnant non-Jew is no better than a pregnant animal."Coschen hamischpat 405 The Truth: The Talmud favors a gentile lady together with the owner of an animal over the Jewish pregnant lady which would not get covered for any damage done to her fetus by someone that injured her.Accusation:-Shulchan Aruch, Orach Chaim 539. "At the time of the Cholhamoed the transaction of any kind of business is forbidden. But it is permitted to cheat a goy, because cheating of goyim at any time pleases the Lord."What is in fact written:
It is allowed to receive money that a Jew lent to a non Jew even during the holiday because he may not get payed back later. This are just a few of the many lies...Where will it lead us to? May God protect us...
