I think this thing called "halacha" is an important thing in the Jewish religion. And you quoted a source which said Halacha generally forbids a Jew - even if he is a doctor - to save the life of a goyim. You bolded this portion of the quote to draw attention to it so you must think it is a very important point. So if halacha is a major part of the Jewish religion and IF the quotation you chose to highlight is truthful (which I don't believe), that would mean the Jewish religion forbade saving non-Jews. Nothing misleading there. Obviously you were trying to slander that religion with this quotation. And now, I think, you're trying to weasel out of the position you foolishly took by posting that stuff by Shahak or whoever it was. OK, go ahead and weasel out - Thomas M is on record - the Jewish religion DOES NOT forbid saving non-Jews lives and those who say different are liars. Any problem with this, Thomas? Oh, moving on to another subject - on another thread (I think) you posted something about Iraq getting anthrax toxins and other toxic stuff from the US in the 1980's. I checked it out and you were right. There were some such shipments. For awhile I thought, Wow, Thomas M actually was right about something. We did apparently supply Iraq with biological weapon material. But then I read some more and think you were correct but a little misleading. The US destroyed their chemical and biological weapons stockpiles back in the '70's. But small quantities of anthrax and other things like botulism toxin is still found in private research labs here and around the world. It was and still is perfectly legal to sell this stuff to anybody (probably shouldn't be though) - there about 50 sources in the world where this can be bought. You or I could buy some if we wanted it. So I don't think American labs sold Iraq enough to make weapons from although they could have used what they purchased from America as starter material to grow their own weapons supplies. Of course, since anthrax and botulism are naturally occuring all over, they could have gotten their own from a natural source and cultured it too.
