With the help of G-d

I would like to shed some true in to the things are now being said against Jews in Muslim and other websites. The defamation is against the Jews against the true and very hard to fight back and reveal the true in the mass communication world that the internet offers. My purpose is to enlighten the perplexed and to prevent less learned Jews or gentiles to believe their statements. As the Nazis did, anti-Semitic propaganda was used to make believe Jews are greedy, lewd, robbers and so on. Their ingenious idea convinced their nation we are exactly the opposite of what we are. For example the number of charity institutions amongst Jews far succeeds all of the world's charity institutions I believe.

I am concerned mainly with the lies that are being said based on our holy book, picturing us as killers, cheaters and gentiles-haters. Regarding the more baseless hatred propaganda they do I have no words to say, when from the crib at home and at TV and cartoons they learn to hate the Jews just because, there is no need to proof that if you search for anti-Semite in youtube you will find many of their own shows.

I can't believe how countless misquotations and lies I have read how many things are quoted out of context.

I could go for days explaining how they were quoted out of place, misinterpreted, nonexistent or just changed.

We do NOT hate gentiles.

The 7 Noahide laws that we are taught about in our law,( learn more at asknoah.org - which includes Believe in G-d's Unity ( not to worship idols) Respect and Praise G-d Respect Human Life Respect Family Respect the Rights of Others Respect All Creatures Pursue Justice (and to have court of law [which the Jews are also to abide to] ) offers a mean of convivial together in a world of peace wich is what we hope to attain.

Now watch this videos for example; please compare how we teach our children about peace and regarding gentiles and what the Arabs do:

I would like to clarify that whenever the word Akum is issued it is referring not always to a regular gentile but to an idol worshiper that could be a Jew or not. Many time the law is referring to the biblical times and when all the Jews lived in Israel, when it was forbidden to be settled by idol worshipers and when the land of Israel was ruled by Torah law. Today we are to follow the laws of the country where we live, as its written "The law of the country is the law" meaning the law of the country where we live is to be adhered to as our own law.

Many times there are laws that are taught in our books giving some sort of advantage over the non Jews and it is only valid when we were being unjustly judged or taxed. But when there is a just society these laws do not apply.

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.(Main source: Meiri on Bavah Kammah 113)

Now I will start to clarify some of their lies that are going around the internet, on blogs and videos. I hope to add more commentaries as I find then and look at their sources in our holy books:

-"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

Now...it really says that the gentiles can also receive non kosher meat like the dog ... like a dog means the same law as the dog ...Scripture is actually favoring the gentile.

-They quote its mutar to rape a gentile child... it really say at this source in Avoda Zarah, that a young gentile daughter is declared impure because it could happen that she would be found among man otherwise, therefore they made a fence and declared her impure so to avoid her company, the exact opposite meaning of what they write, and its strictly forbidden to have relations with a non.

"A pregnant non-Jew is no better than a pregnant animal."Coschen hamischpat 405

It really says she has more rights than the Jewish pregnant lady which do not get pay for a damage to her fetus, as would the owner of an animal get payment for damages to his animals fetus.

-Bammidber raba c 21 & jalkut 772: "Every Jew who spills the blood of the godless (non-Jews), is doing the same as making a sacrifice to God."

Now it really says someone that spills blood of evil people!!! It looks like someone else is trying to make a blood libel in 2008?!I fell like in the middle ages…Do you as well?

-Coschen Hamischpat, Hagah 425: "It is the law to kill anyone who denies the Torah. The Christians belong to the denying ones of the Torah."

It really "says the idol worships and denies of the torah FROM THE JEWS is to be killed".Nothing about christians...

-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."

It really says it is allowed to receive money that he lent to a non Jew because he is may not get pay back later

- Pesachis F. 113B. "When you go to war do not go as the First, but as the last, so that you may return as the first. Five things has Kanaan recommended to his sons: 'Love each other, love the robbery, hate your masters and never tell the truth.' "


Now Kannan were the non Jews that lived in Israel before us and this was the reason G-d gave us the land , because of their sinfulness.

-Cases where there were quotes like its permissible to cheat a gentile for example:

Regarding the statement that "Jews may use lies to circumvent a gentile". If you look in this Gemora Bava Kamma it is talking about a tax collector who is himself stilling from the Jews by over taxing then because they are Jews. And still our moral says: (still at the same page) that even if the law permits it someone that does it is compared to killing and not only that but also to idol worship and illicit relations. Now it looks like our sages know which kind of lies people would say about that law...


Please consult a Rabbi to know the true facts before making your mind… and think twice before perpetuating false hatred.
