marion,

"Until that day comes [that I read the Talmud], I suggest you keep your mouth shut so as not to reveal your ignorance of the Jewish religion."

Have you ever read the entire constitution of the United States, The Declaration of Independence or the Interstate Commerce Act of the United States?

If you haven't, would it be equally ok for me to accuse you and some of the others who have been critical of the United States of ignorance about us, and suggest that none of you know what your talking about?

I do know that the five books of Moses (torah)is the single most sacred text in Judaism. It is the only text that is read in the synagogue during services. The Talmud was not divinely inspired. It was written by Rabbis and intended to explain rituals and other religous questions. As a human-written text Jews are not obliged to accept the Talmud as fact.

So I concede, I am not expert in the Talmud. However, I am pretty good at recognizing race hatred and when I see certain individuals pouncing on a writings of a document written 2000 years ago to advance an agenda of hate I perk up and take notice.

It's like accusing all white Americans of being guilty of race hatred because of the vile actions and statements made by white racists from 40 years ago. Except, in this case, the arguments being submitted now are even dumber since they are using statements that are a couple thousand years old.
