Gotta get that Adolph connection in ..

It's curious, the way that Jessica uses ideas. Because Hitler felt that a 300 year old passion play might be useful in turning people against the Jews, Jessica implies that the play was anti-semetic. See? It doesn't matter if the play was or wasn't, it was the use it was being put to by an evil man that, in her "mind", condemned it.

This is rather like the "logic" used by gun control fanatics - because a gun can be put to bad use by an evil man, the gun itself is bad. Think that old Jessica is a gun control freak? Yeah, I thought so too...

Now, let's extend Jessica's "logic" to it's logical extreme. Based on a little study I've done lately, there appear to be some passages in the Babylonian Talmud that are, shall we say, REALLY uncomplimentary to Christ and to Mary. (Note - anyone is free to believe anything they want, OK?). Suppose Adolf had published these rather "hateful" passages as a means of stiring up the population against Jews. According to Jessica's logic, this would demonstrate a Nazi connection to the Talmud, and brand the Talmud as ant-semetic!

Please keep in mind, this is not a criticism of the Talmud or anybody's religious beliefs. It is simply a demonstration of the vacuous nature of the criticisms being leveled by simpletons like Jessica.

Most of those passages are not referring to Jesus at all. Discussed more fully here.
