At any rate, I did bookmark some very scholarly articles on the websites of prestigious universities, written by scholars who can read Hebrew and know the history of the time, and am satisfied that the allegations are baseless
The Talmud is a huge compilation of oral law that covers centuries, and it's even better than Scripture for picking quotes out of context, claiming that a reference to one person is really code for a reference to another, or even simpler, making stuff up, as only learned religious Jews can tell the difference.
As for Thomas M., I don't think he gives two straws for the PLO or the Palestinians, but he sure does hate Jews with a passion. He will bring up anything that sounds bad for Jews and does not limit himself to the fashionable cover of anti-Zionsim.
I'll be interested in your review of the movie. From what I saw in the promo, it sounds quite gruesome. The guy who played Jesus said that he had a board on his back when he was being flogged, but the flogger missed and hit him a couple of times, and he has the scars to prove it. |
