"Kill the best Gentiles"

The above is a mis-quote this killer cherry-picked from the Talmud (and got wrong), and it appears to have been the source of much of his hatred against Jewish people.

That text refers to case of war (specifically, the war with Eqyptians during Exodus).

The G-d-fearers among the Egyptians allowed their animals to be used in battle against the Jews. Presumably, these people went along with their animals and drove the chariots. We now see that the G-d-fearers, the "good" among the gentiles, were doing battle with the Jews. To this R. Shimon ben Yochai said that, when in battle, do not try to spare the lives of those opposing soldiers who are fine, upstanding people.

Kill any enemy soldier, regardless of their character. This contextual approach to understanding R. Shimon ben Yochai's statement is how the post-Talmudic literature has read this statement [see Tosafot, Avodah Zarah 26b sv Velo; Maimonides, Mishneh Torah, Hilchot Avodah Zarah 10:1].

Reading R. Shimon ben Yochai's teaching as a single-sentence imperative to kill all gentiles is simply wrong and is not how Jewish scholars have ever understood it.

The Talmud is a very confusing book for Jews seeped in its tradition and learning, and, at least partially for this reason, non-Jews are encouraged to concentrate on the portions of the Talmud that apply to them and leave the portions that apply to Jews alone --- to prevent EXACTLY THIS KIND OF CONFUSION.
