You had better not "rest" your case, because you force me to take it apart, first. Both versions, the Nazis and the original are crap. Some choose neither the mystics nor the atillas. (It's spelt "Attilas," by the way.) In any event, you are positing -- inadvertently, I think -- a "moral equivalency" between the Jews and the Nazis, in other words, between the victims and the victimizers. That is a logical fallacy, and an ethically unacceptable one to boot. The issue here is not whether the Talmud was "wrong" or not, but whether the Jews were "wicked" or not. You know that the original Nazis used forgeries like "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion," phony scholarship like "The Talmud Unmasked," various forms of eugenic nonsense, etc., etc., to "prove" that the Jews were indeed "wicked," and thus deserved to be wiped out. The neo-Nazis take the same approach. It is not a matter of making a choice between the "Attilas" and the "mystics," but between the "Attilas" and an ethnic group they had/have targeted for destruction (some members of which were/are indeed "mystics," as you define the term, and others of which were/are not). No decent person can really remain neutral in such a one-sided conflict. Unless, of course, you believe that the Jews really did and/or do have it in for "the Gentiles." Do you? jbe (neither Jewish nor "mystic," BTW) P.S. And if you are so anti-mystic, whatever are you doing on the Nostradamus thread? <gg>
