"While I can't claim to have read the Talmud (due to the fact that I am prevented from so doing) "

Someone ranted this inanity. The Talmud is available in 3 English translations. It is available in public libraries and some universities. Is this statement some kind of proclamation from the Spotlight? I have read the same rant dozens of times here on FR and on many other sites over the years. Is there an official talking points page? Usually they make claims from non-existent tractates or from page numbers in a tractate that are beyond the actual number of pages.

What do they think the Talmud is; the secret plans of the Jews to take over the world? The Talmud contains for the most part legal discussions and debates of Jewish law and some explanation of verses in the Bible to instruct proper conduct and the Torah outlook of the world. No secret decoder rings needed; no tin-foil inserts. Nothing hidden; no mysteries.

By the way, for a point of interest. The Introduction to the Medrash on Lamentations says that the Neturei Karta are the elementary and secondary school teachers. The Medrash says that without them being properly supported the city does not deserve to exist. Neturei Karta means Guardians of the City. Those who teach the children are the true guardians; not the police and not the army.

It's the same kind of stuff they always post. Their versions of our religion are often as bizarre as the Mullahs' who call us vampires who drink Arab blood and scare their children by telling them Jews will grind them up to make matzo. We can sit and give them facts 24/7, but as you see in this thread, no matter what you say, it gets twisted into something else when they *reply*. This wasn't an article any one of them wanted to know about. It was bait. But if no one answers, these things show up on google searches and G-d only knows where else. So if there is no rebuttal, stupid people will believe it. Van Guard, Storm Front, Christian Identity, Aryan Nations are all well represented in this crew. They change their screen names, but not their purpose, though why they would want to wreck Jim's site is well beyond me.
You are wise, rebdov. I appreciate your posts very much.
