Anti-goyimism in all its multifaceted ugliness and racist evil
www.revisionisthistory.org

Dear Michael,

Apart from you, I know few in this world who would appreciate the irony of my pastor's Sunday sermon yesterday.

His text was Luke 11:37-54, Luke's account of our Lord's excoriation of the lawyers, scribes and Pharisees.  The title of his sermon is referenced in the subject line.  The main point is that we all need to beware of being Pharisees, of course.

In one of the high points of the sermon, he warned that all the world religions and "isms"--all except Christianity--that lead to Pharisee-ism.  Of course, Islam and Buddhism were mentioned. Hinduism and even Roman Catholicism were mentioned.  In fact, I can't think of a major world philosophy or religion that was not mentioned except for one: Judaism!  The very heirs of the Pharisees according to their own literature! Yet like most Christians in our day, it is as if Judaism and Pharisees do not even exist, as if they disappeared in the first century.   But they do exist and they are as strong and corrupt as ever, per our Lord's prophecy in Matthew 12:43-45.

Need Americans, need Christians know about them? Might it have something to do with our culture, our churches, our nation?  I think so.

Thus, I was reminded to encourage you in your latest endeavor to start the center for the study of anti-goyism (The Hoffman Center for the Study of Anti-Goyimism).  I tremble to think that the skill of the lawyers, scribes and Pharisees for stoking hatred of disciples of Christ among the goy to accomplish their purposes indirectly is coming to a head more and more each and every day.  We feel it, the hatred of our culture.  The source needs to be exposed.

I plan to bring the Jewish Encyclopedia reference to the attention of my pastor.  Do you have the exact reference, where Judaism today is said to be descended from the Pharisees of old?

Sincerely,
Ryan G.

Dear Ryan

All of the technical information and citations from Judaic texts on the admission by the rabbinic powers that Orthodox Judaism is the continuation of Pharisaism will be found in the second edition of Judaism Discovered, which I am toiling on at present, in the hope that we will have the funds to publish it in September.

The only reason that the overwhelming and incessant detestation of goyim that is intrinsic to Orthodox Judaism is not better known, is due to the interdiction and suppression of this fact by the media, as for example by the Right wing empire headed by Rupert Murdoch.

(An article today in the Zionist press frets that if Murdoch falls, their propaganda reach will be diminished [“Amid Murdoch Scandal, Some Fear Pro-Israel Media Voice Will Be Muted,” http://www.forward.com/articles/140053/]. As usual, these fears are overblown since the whole of the western media with a few exceptions, are 98% kosher in their spin).

Every now and then a bit of intelligence leaks through the cracks, however. Here is one such instance:

The Limits of Multi-Culturalism
By Christina Patterson
 The Independent (UK)  28 July 2010

“...When I moved to Stamford Hill (a heavily Judaic area of London, England), 12 years ago, I didn't realize that goyim were about as welcome in the Hasidic Jewish shops as Martin Luther King at a Klu Klux Klan convention.

“I didn't realize that a purchase by a goy was a crime to be punished with monosyllabic terseness, or that bus seats were a potential source of contamination, or that road signs and parking restrictions were for people who hadn't been chosen by God.

“And while none of this is a source of anything much more than irritation, when I see an eight-year-old boy recoiling from a normal-looking woman (because, presumably, he has been taught that she is dirty or dangerous, or, heaven forbid, dripping with menstrual blood) it makes me sad.”

Christina Patterson doesn’t know that all female gentiles without exception are regarded in Orthodox Judaism as “menstrual filth, slaves, heathen and whores.” This disgusting litany is expressed by the alphabetic abbreviation NShGZ (“Niddah, Shifchah, Goyyah and Zonah”). You can’t get this information into the western media. They will print anything derogatory about Islam, both real and imagined, but they protect Judaism to the utmost of their ability.

If we had total Talmudic law supremacy in the West -- and we have not yet reached that point since people like this writer are not yet dead or in the gulag -- then even Israeli allies and friends of the Talmud among the goyim, i.e. even the “righteous gentiles” would be killed whenever a Zionist felt the need. I give evidence for this fact from their own texts in the new edition of Judaism Discovered.

The rabbinic texts also speak of the necessity to collectively inflict violence from time to time on the goyim, without regard to the innocent. In this way it is said that the goyim are spiritually corrected! A contemporary Zionist made the statement in a rabbinic periodical that Germans are peaceable today only because the “evil of the German people” was “bombed out of them” in World War II. 600,000 civilians were thereby “spiritually corrected.”

Even those who consider themselves experts in this field are unaware that Allied policy in the 1940s and the 21st century was and is driven by rabbinic injunction. Historians may puzzle forever over the doctrine of collective punishment. If they can’t trace its roots to the rabbinic texts, they will never have the ultimate key to the justification of mass murder of civilian populations, whether in the war on Baghdad that began on Purim, 2003, or the Ash Wednesday holocaust in Dresden in 1945.

In consideration of this reality, it seems to me that the lack of a formal institute for the study of anti-goyimism in all its multifaceted ugliness and racist evil, is a scandal. I soldier on in the fulfillment of this goal in spite of the fact that almost no one in what I gingerly refer to as “our ranks” has publicized it, with the exception of Jeff Rense and Deanna Spingola; any more than anyone other than Richard Widmann and the aforementioned Rense and Spingola has publicized or offered for sale the reprinted edition of the book The Great Holocaust Trial.

Meanwhile, Charles, a colleague in Florida, this week forwarded a letter circulating among young people in Europe which asks, what, if anything, has Ernst Zundel accomplished? This is an astonishingly ignorant question made possible by the fact that the story of Zundel’s heroic struggle is lost on the younger generation. Contrary to those omniscient futurists who have declared that the printed page is dead and the Internet alone is sufficient to educate the masses, there is no substitute for a book like The Great Holocaust Trial in bringing the Zundel saga to the next generation.

Furthermore, in spite of selling, with nearly no sustained advertising, nearly 4,000 copies of Judaism Discovered in hardcover in less than three years, the book received exactly one libelous review in the pages of a Catholic magazine. No other publication on earth could see fit to pay heed and review what was a publishing phenomenon in revisionist studies. It’s a bad joke.

The extent of the boycott in “our ranks” against almost anything I write or propose is so intense there is almost no point in pursuing the argument. All I can do is work harder than ever and hope and pray that with God miraculously sustaining my writing, some visionary millionaire will someday step forward to say, let’s give your books the funding and publicity they deserve, and let’s build The Hoffman Center for the Study of Anti-Goyimism. Until then I labor in the trenches, the beneficiary of encouragement and donations from “regular Joes” like Ryan G.

I am a fighter. I don’t know any other way to live. I can’t quit, retire or take a vacation. My inner being won’t allow it. I live by the Gospel and the words of Edmond Rostand in Cyrano de Bergerac, “The enemy has us surrounded. We shall not let him escape.”

Blinded by Misdirection

By Michael Hoffman ©2011

My book, Judaism Discovered, is sold out in hardcover, with the exception of a handful of autographed copies. There are no funds to reprint it in a costly hardcover edition, as much as we would like to do so. Nearly 4,000 copies were printed since 2008 and if you own one of those books, you have a collector’s item (as of July 14, Amazon.com is selling copies starting at $450).

We will endeavor to print Judaism Discovered in paperback with smaller type and in a more compact edition that will allow us to ship it overseas for a lower air mail rate than the $42.00 the US Post Office was charging us to mail the $45 hardcover (how’s that for economy of scale!). Readers in Europe, Canada and Australia accounted for about one-quarter of the book’s sales. We would have undoubtedly sold more if we could have charged less for shipping (the Post Office abolished the slow but affordable sea mail shipping rates a few years ago). We have not yet raised the funds for the paperback but we will go into debt if necessary to get Judaism Discovered back into print.

I am reorganizing the text so that all subjects covered are contiguous. I am also tweaking the text and updating some sections with new research. I am currently at work on the anti-goyim section, proving the contempt for gentiles from the rabbinic texts themselves. A few days ago I added a new section showing that goyim are considered lower than dogs. To make that case, it is not enough to read the Babylonian Talmud and cite a relevant section. It is a matter of cross-referencing parashas derived from the Talmud, as well as successor texts that have the force of law. By collating that corpus one can prove that in Judaism the dog is way above the goy.

Another section I will be adding to the hoped-for new edition concerns the Israeli book Torat Hamelech (“Laws of the King”), by Rabbis Yitzhak Shapira and Yosef Elitzur, which was published in Israeli-Hebrew last year. It is intended as a guidebook for the Israeli military and its soldiers. It advocates killing Arab children and bombing civilians. Torat Hamelech has received a stamp of approval from the prestigious and influential Israeli Rabbi Dov Lior as well as Rabbi Yakov Yosef, son of Rabbi Ovadia Yosef, spiritual head of the Israeli Shas party and former Sephardic Chief Rabbi, who has called for the extermination of the Palestinians.

I have difficulty believing my own words as I write about this book and the rabbis who authored or approved it. Even I am incredulous because I have to ask myself, if this were really true, then alarm bells would surely be ringing from the White House to Congress, from the studios of FOX News to the editorial offices New York Times.

Well, it is really true and none of that is transpiring because we live in anation suffused with the Talmudic mentality – if not yet entirely under Talmudic halacha (law). If you asked me to name a prime characteristic of Talmudic Judaism, I would respond: one law for the Judaics and another for everyone else.

Consequently, when rabbis issue texts calling on the Israeli army to kill Arab children with impunity and flatten their neighborhoods with artillery shells, missiles and bombs, it is barely a blip on the outrage screen of our government and media. Under the Talmudic mentality, Judaics, and even their dogs, are superior to non-Judaics. This superior/inferior distinction privately resonates with America’s leaders and media executives. Therefore, who cares if rabbis are publishing religious rationales for mass murder? In fact hardly any American is even aware of it.

THE MISDIRECTION MACHINE

One of the reasons I have been fascinated since childhood with stage magic and will attend any magic show in my vicinity which I have the time to attend, is in order to study the magician’s misdirection, which is the basis for the successful execution of his illusions.

As on stage, so too in the national theatre that is criminal politics. Two mechanisms of misdirection have been carefully and craftily employed to obscure and impede any serious attention and protest over Orthodox Judaism’s advocacy of mass murder and oppression of Palestinians. 1. The rigged agitation over “Sharia law” – other than in Detroit and Berkeley, the likelihood of Sharia law being imposed on America is about the same as Lady Gaga landing on Mars. Meanwhile Talmudic law, in the form of the misnamed “Noahide Law” (which has nothing to do with the Biblical Noah, who the rabbinic texts malign and mock), is already Public Law 102-14.

Furthermore, American attorneys and judges, as part of their professional continuing education, are regularly solicited to attend accredited legal seminars operated by Talmudic rabbis. These are in fact well-attended by gentile law professors, lawyers and magistrates. The seminars are convened by the Cardozo School of Law in New York City and endorsed by Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, as well as being sponsored by bar associations across the U.S. For example, in Missouri last June, Chabad-Lubavitch (whose rabbis have applauded the Torat Hamelech book), convened the “17th Conference on Talmud and Contemporary Law,” sponsored by the Missouri Bar and approved for Continuing Legal Education (CLE) credit. (See: http://revisionistreview.blogspot.com/2011/05/talmudic-chabad-offers-continuing.html).

America is increasingly coming under Talmudic law, not Sharia law, but this fact cannot be mentioned at any large Tea Party or Christian conservative gathering, or by Ron Paul or Rand Paul, much less by Israeli agents such as Palin, Pawlenty and Bachmann.

How then, if Sharia law is a phantom and Talmudic law a growing reality, is the Right wing focused on the one and not the other? Through the magic of misdirection.

2. A second misdirection is centered on the issue of Palestinian civilian casualties. Try this test: walk up to a Fox News-loving Right-winger and ask him or her, “What about Palestinian casualties?” Nine times out of ten the response will be, “The Israelis can’t help it; the Arabs use their own people as human shields.”

The fact that the targeting of Arab civilians is mandated by the rabbinic texts is not acknowledged and will not be considered. Muslim and Arab goyim are too low on the scale of humanity to merit any concern whatsoever about their well-being or welfare. One mechanism for dismissing their humanity is this misdirection about “human shields.”

The rabbinic book Torat Hamelech and its sister text Mishnah Torat Hamelech, are not outside Judaism. They are not an aberration or extremist exaggeration. Orthodox Judaism believes in collective guilt and collective punishment. It teaches that any person (man, woman or child) in a country that is against Judaics and supports war against Judaics, is a rodef (homicidal “pursuer”) and should be killed. Any non-Judaic who violates one of the Seven Noahide laws (laws considered binding on all human beings), is subject to the death penalty. The majority of Judaism’s sacred texts teach these views.

Orthodox Judaism, being built on deception and founded by lawyers, is however, riddled with loopholes and escape clauses for every occasion, intended to misdirect the goyim. If Judaism Discovered offers any service to humanity it is in its elucidation of how these loopholes and escape clauses function, where they are to be found, and how and when they are employed.

Zionism is at a crossroads in history as it obtains ever more control over the minds of Europeans (in reaction to Muslim immigration), and in America, where Talmudic Judaism is linked to family values and identified as God’s genetic race.

The Talmud teaches that in times of Judaic supremacy its doctrine of contempt for gentiles need not be hidden. It teaches that in all other times it must be concealed. “Religious-Zionist” rabbis among the Israeli settlers believe that Zionist power has reached a sufficiently high level to justify the candor of a book like Torat Hamelech. Other more cautious rabbis strongly disagree and counsel a resumption of the usual cover story, that Orthodox Judaism is a religion of universal love.

Rabbi Barry Leff is one of the latter. He is charged with maintaining the cover story and condemning Torat Hamelech by quoting a handful of escape clauses by obscure rabbis which look as though they contradict Torat Hamelech. This game has been played before by operatives such as Shmuley Boteach, Michael Jackson’s rabbi.

Rabbi Leff argues that, “Underlying Torat Hamelech is a philosophy that demeans the value of the non-Jew as a human being. Yes, there are sources in the Torah that support this approach, but they are all referring to idol worshipers. This clearly does not apply to monotheists such as Christians and Muslims.”

Rabbi Leff is correct about the rabbinic halacha on Muslims. They are not hated as idol-worshippers. Tthis is one reason why rabbis allied with Muslims for centuries in Spain and the Middle East against Christians; a history almost never mentioned today. The rabbis despise contemporary Muslims because many of them will not acknowledge the legitimacy of the Israeli land grab in Palestine, or submit to the Israeli claims to religious and racial superiority. In using the same armed resistance methods of the anti-Nazi partisans of World War II, the Palestinians and Lebanese become rodef in the eyes of the Orthodox rabbis.

Where Leff is being less than truthful is in his claim that Judaism does not consider Christians to be idol-worshippers. Christianity is judged to be idol worship by every major halachic authority from Maimonides to the Chafetz Chaim. Idol worship is a death penalty offense under the “Noahide” laws. Jesus himself is frequently referred to as an “idol” in popular Orthodox Judaic literature. Rabbi Leff insults our intelligence with his farcical claim.

As it turns out, the discovery of what Judaism really is and really teaches is more than ever relevant, pertaining as it does to the direction of our foreign policy and national destiny, as well as the Faith of Jesus Christ as presented to us in our churches, where too often a false Christ and a false gospel are proffered. The Noahide law proscribes the worship of Jesus, it does not oppose a church that fakes such worship.

Which side does history favor, the coverup rabbis like Leff, talking with a forked tongue in the age-old pattern? Or the new, Revelation-of-the-Method rabbis who publish Torat Hamelech, with its upfront advocacy of how their troops should behave when they’ve got the goyim in their sights?

If I were a betting man, I’d put a fat wager on the Revelation-of-the-Method, the operating principle of which is: we tell you what we’re going to do to you, and if you do nothing about it, our power over your mind will be increased exponentially.

That’s the state of the affairs in our time, when almost everyone is chasing after one side issue after another, blinded by every manner of illusion. In the kingdom of misdirection, the magician is king.

Introducing The Hoffman Center for the Study of Anti-Goyimism

By Michael Hoffman  
www.revisionisthistory.org


"A dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight, and his punishment is that he sees the dawn before the rest of the world."  Oscar Wilde 

Perhaps some of you have wondered about the debut of The Hoffman Center for the Study of Anti-Goyimism and desire more details concerning it.

It bears mentioning that The Vidal Sassoon International Center for the Study of AntiSemitism (http://sicsa.huji.ac.il/) was established "as an interdisciplinary research center dedicated to accumulation and dissemination of knowledge necessary for understanding the phenomenon of antisemitism. The Center engages in research on antisemitism throughout the ages, focusing on relations between Jews and non-Jews, particularly in situations of tension and crisis."  

The Center is based at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem and funded in part by the multi-millionaire cosmetics' baron Vidal Sassoon, CBE (Commander of the Order of the British Empire).

The purpose of the Sassoon Center is two-fold: to gather active intelligence on the movements and personnel around the world stigmatized as "antisemitic," and to paralyze any leader or movement that exposes Judaism, Talmudism or the Israeli state by tarring them with the career-ending "antisemitic" label.

Turning the Tables

I have never been interested in being confined to a category or placed on the defensive.  As far as categories go, I have always sought to turn the tables by thinking completely outside the box and crafting a new epistemology. Toward that end I coined the term "Judaic" to replace the appellation "Jew" as a description of rabbis and Zionists who lay claim to an awe-inspiring self-description with little or no evidence to substantiate their presumption.

Judaism offers race-based divinity to those of whom it is said are the descendants of the Old Testament patriarchs. We see echoes of this in Judeo-Churchianity, where the insinuation that “Jews” are saved by their racial prestige is a powerful undercurrent. 

What salvation is there for impostors, however? For those who reject Jesus Christ and think they are Jews, but in genetic reality they are not Jews? (Rev. 2:9; 3:9). This dilemma is almost never considered. There is a snare wrapped within it –  the huge superstructure of fraud, demonic pride and misdirection built upon the notion that many or most of the followers of the religion of Judaism and the inhabitants of the Israeli state, are “Jews” descended from Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and thereby saved, or at the very least, ennobled, by virtue of their supposedly exalted genealogy, and entitled to certain immunities and prerogatives. 

There was a quasi-magical awe in which self-described “Jews” were viewed in medieval Europe, one of the few “Ace” cards they held at that time, and one which they exploited masterfully and to great effect, no less than now among the Republican Right wing. The whole thing is as absurd as a band of Calabrians in Italy claiming to be owed deference, or rulership over Rome, because they insist they are genetic descendants of the Caesars. 

Why do we take anything the rabbis and their cronies say at face value, absent collaborating data? We can talk about this until we are blue in the face or we can act to withdraw the mechanism whereby this fraud is maintained and substitute the word Judaic for the word Jew. In addition to being a dispassionate, generic description of those who have an ethnic attachment to renascent Phariseeism ("Orthodox Judaism"), and Zionism, "Judaic" disarms the familiar accusation of Jew hate and the special aura of victimhood surrounding that term, which is mined to maximum effect by those who claim its mantle.

Not everyone agrees with my strategy and this is to be expected. Anything new is often attacked and can make those who are stuck in a rut very uncomfortable. They are accustomed to their rut, it is cozy and familiar. They cannot envision a significant advance unless it involves the coming to power of a charismatic national leader of their persuasion. If that scenario isn't realized, they are stranded in limbo while the enemies of truth take command.

To what extent are antisemitism accusations a mask for anti-goyimism? 

The Hoffman Center for the Study of Anti-Goyimism approaches these problems in an entirely new way. First, the Center directs a vigorous offense, rather than a retreating defense. Second, it possesses the energy of an original idea made concrete: how do we account for Judaism's hatred for the goyim (i.e. the non-Judaic nations)? How does this hatred manifest in politics, society, culture, education, business and world affairs? 

The Hoffman Center studies a pivotal question: to what extent are antisemitism accusations a mask for anti-goyimism? 

In playwright David Mamet's new book announcing his conversion to the Right wing, The Secret Knowledge: On the Dismantling of American Culture (http://t.co/2GK08VE), the English people are besmirched as possessing an almost genetic strain of antisemitism. Years ago, Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir declared that Polish people imbibe antisemitism in their mother's breast milk. These hateful characterizations of the English and the Poles reflect the general contempt and bigotry of the Gemara, Mishnah Torah, Shulchan Aruch and Mishnah Berurah for the goyim, yet they are put forth and gain legitimacy as part of an alleged fight against bigotry.

The Hoffman Center aims to expose this hoodwink with facts and documents, not just generalized rhetoric about the Talmud. When the Hoffman Center states that the rabbinic texts teach that goyim are lower than dogs, we will prove our contention chapter and verse. Of course it will be said that we took the texts "out of context." We are prepared to deflate that Pavlovian defense and show with massive documentation that goyim have a status beneath that of dogs in Orthodox Judaism -- and that's far from the only racist dehumanization to which goyim are subjected in the holy books of Chazal (the founding "sages" of Judaism).

Here is the one-way prerogative of the Talmudic mentality: entitlement to bash our eminent authors with the "anti-semite" cudgel, while we respond on the defensive. Our defensive response has been a failure. I'm sick of failure!

Anthony Julius was Deborah Lipstadt's lawyer in historian David Irving's libel suit against her. Mr. Julius is the author of a recent book, Trials of the Diaspora: A History of Anti-Semitism (http://tinyurl.com/3u6qp2l). In its pages he defames Chaucer, Shakespeare and Dickens, among others. His book was reviewed with fulsome praise by the Yale University literary critic Harold Bloom, who wrote: "Julius links anti-Semitism to sadism. He might have done even more with this, since sado-masochism is something of an English vice, and is so much a school-experience of the upper social class." 

An English vice. To say that Shylock's usury or Fagin's fencing of stolen goods are "Judaic vices" is nothing less than rabid Shakespearean and Dickensian antisemitism according to Julius, yet Bloom feels entitled to stigmatize the English as sadomasochist, as a nation which derives pleasure from extreme cruelty. 

As one of the Holy People, Mr. Bloom can libel the English nation with impunity, while the profound insights of Chaucer, Shakespeare and Dickens constitute an "immemorial stench" (Bloom), out of a "sewer" (Julius). 

In his chapter on "The Mentality of Modern English Anti-Semitism," Mr. Julius presents what Prof. Bloom terms, "the puzzle of what appears to be an incessant prejudice, never to be dispelled." 

The concept of goyim harboring never-to-be-dispelled prejudice toward Judaics is a troglodyte dogma taught to bochurim (yeshiva boys). They are indoctrinated from an early age to believe that any opposition to the religion of Judaism is irrational (based on no legitimate grievance) and ineradicable, the assumption being that all opposition to Judaism reflects a hereditary gentile predisposition toward hatred of the Holy People. 

This traditional rabbinic brainwash is expressed as follows: "Halacha hi beyoduah she'Eisav soneh l'Yaakov" ("It is a given law: it is known that Esau hates Jacob;" cf. Judaism Discovered, pp. 463-466). 

Despite their morally superior liberal pretensions, Julius and Bloom are steeped in 2,000 years of Talmudic anti-gentile darkness.

The purpose of The Hoffman Center for the Study of Anti-Goyimism is to elucidate this stream in western académe and media and track the tail of the serpent of hatred and prejudice to its clandestine root in Judaism.

Resources

Personnel: one (so far).

Resources: letterhead printed with the name The Hoffman Center for the Study of Anti-Goyimism.

That's it, for now, at least in material terms.

I can dream, can't I?

The Vision

Our starting point: planting the seed of this vision. 

At present, to be honest, there is little chance that my Center will become a brick and mortar institute in the near future, yet I didn't want to live my life without at least sowing in as many minds as I could, this idea whose time has come; one that has incubated in my soul for many years.

So there you have it: merely a letterhead entity envisioned by a dreamer.


Someday, perhaps sooner rather than later, God will see fit to attract support for this dream. If not in my lifetime then in that of the next generation, this Center will become a truly realized venture  -- the axis upon which the most virulent racism that ever arose in the annals of time, will finally have its human rights mask torn away, heralding a new birth of freedom for the people of the West.

Rabbi Lior's racism is not his fault

By Salman Masalha

Haaretz (Israeli newspaper) | July 4, 2011

(Michael Hoffman’s commentary follows this report)

First, let me say this: As a descendant of one of the Sons of Noah who has violated all manners of prohibitions, I am doomed to any number of odd and sundry deaths. The choice offered to those of my ilk is one of the following three: death by sword, death by stoning or death by strangulation. In his Law of Kings, Moses Maimonides (the Rambam) specifies that for violating the Noahide laws I am sentenced to death by the sword, unless I have sex with a Jewish maiden who is engaged to be married, in which case I shall be stoned to death; alternatively, if she is already married, then I am to be strangled to death.

I am addressing this matter in light of the tempest over the detention for police questioning of the recalcitrant Rabbi Dov Lior, who did not report for an interview despite repeated supplications from law enforcement authorities.

I don't understand what all the fuss is about. None of the racist things attributed to one rabbi or another...are new....The naked truth must be told.

There are some good-intentioned, if entirely naive, souls who are quick to quote verses such as "Love your neighbor as yourself." They seek to coat the bitter pill by presenting some positive side of religion. But they forget that "your neighbor" refers solely to another Jew.

Not to mention "Haviv adam shenivra b’tzelem" ("Beloved is man who is created in the image"), which is cited incessantly as supposed proof of humanity of any kind in humanism in general and in Judaism in particular. Here, too, the reference is to Jews only.

According to the sages, only Israel, Jews, are called "adam," "and not the nations of the world."

Rabbi Avraham Yitzhak Hacohen Kook (“Haro’eh"), providing a persuasive explanation to his flock: "The difference between the Israeli soul, its independence, its inner yearning, its aspiration, its characteristics and disposition, and the soul of all the other nations, is greater and deeper than the difference between the soul of a human being and the soul of a beast."

What could we possibly add to these warm sentiments?

All the greatest experts in halakha (Jewish law) follow this concept. For the sake of example, here's the explanation of Rabbi Judah Loew ben Bezalel (the Maharal): "The perfection of creation, which relates to the human in particular, applies to Israel and not to the nations."

He added that the gradation of Israel in comparison to the other nations is comparable to the gradation of the human being in comparison to non-speaking animals.

If this is the situation, then why are so many politicians and self-declared defenders of the law picking on the respected rabbi of the national religious movement? The "enlightened" rabbi did not invent the wheel, after all. He only hung the...dirty laundry out in public. The populist politicians show off their dirty clothes in their media-blanketed appearances at every available opportunity (see under: Jewish democracy ), and in their eyes the rabbi is guilty of slander...

MICHAEL HOFFMAN'S AFTERWORD

The author of this article is beginning to refute in detail, line by line, the rabbinic propaganda about Judaism's alleged equality and love for all. Deconstructing rabbinic doubletalk, decoy texts and the complex hermeneutic of evasion and deception which undergirds it, is the main objective of this writer's book, Judaism Discovered.

The goyim are repeatedly told that the Pharisee Hillel was a decent fellow, on par with his contemporary, Jesus Christ. We are informed that Hillel taught, "That which is hateful to you, do not do unto another: This is the whole Torah."

The people regaling us with this warm fuzzy story "forgot" to mention that Hillel's golden rule only applied to Jews (though he supposedly related it to a gentile).

Orthodox Judaism's ferocious racism is at the core of all the canonical rabbinic texs, from alpha to omega, from the Mishnah to the Kitzur Shulchan Aruch. In an Internet age, Rabbi Dov Lior is too honest in his expression of anti-goyism. Consequently, counterfeit "Israel" is embarrassed by his candor and in order to keep up appearances, must be seen to haul him into court. It's nothing more than a face-saving publicity stunt. Israeli rabbis who impart vicious Talmudic racism in a more sophisticated and covert manner are left alone to build more yeshivas, financed with American Zionist and Zionist-"Christian" cash.

Note on the text: we have printed only excerpts from Salman Masalha's essay, which also included a general rant against "monotheism," which seriously mars his otherwise laudable research. What does he desire as an alternative to monotheism, a return to paganism? Belief in the truth of one God and the Law proclaimed by Christ Jesus, does not lead to hatred. It is the foundation of an ethical civilization.


Hundreds in Jerusalem protest the arrest of senior rabbis

By Yair Ettinger
Haaretz (Israeli newspaper) | July 4, 2011

Hundreds of people gathered in front of the Supreme Court in Jerusalem on Monday night for a mass protest against the arrests of senior rabbis who were briefly detained for incitement after they endorsed a religious tract justifying the killing of non-Jews.

Hundreds of police officers were stationed around the Supreme Court in Jerusalem on Monday in preparation for potentially violent protests.
  
Two senior rabbis who had endorsed the book Torat Hamelech ("The King's Torah”) -- which among other things preaches in favor of killing Arab infants -- Rabbi Dov Lior and Rabbi Yaakov Yosef, the son of Shas spiritual leader Ovadia Yosef, were shortly detained for questioning in recent days. The two spoke at the rally, along with some twenty senior leaders in religious Zionism at the event dubbed "In honor of the Torah."

"We need to thank those responsible for the arrests, otherwise we would still be sleeping," Rabbi Yaakov Yosef said during the rally, explaining that his arrest had awakened rightist activists.

The protesters are rabbis and yeshiva students, some of which stress they do not condone the book Torat Hamelech, but oppose the humiliation of rabbis and the Torah.

"The Torah, The Constitution, and the 4th of July

Rabbi Joshua Levine Grater
Spiritual leader, Pasadena Jewish Temple and Center

Huffington Post | July 2, 2011

(Michael Hoffman’s analysis follows this essay)

his speech that became known as "The Spirit of Liberty," delivered in New York City's Central Library, in the midst of World War II, the preeminent judge and judicial philosopher, Learned Hand, asked, "What do we mean when we say that first of all we seek liberty? I often wonder whether we do not rest our hopes too much upon constitutions, upon laws and upon courts. These are false hopes; believe me these are false hopes. Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women; when it dies there, no constitution, no law, no court can even do much to help it." (As quoted in Time magazine, July 4, 2011)

There is a great deal of talk these days about the Constitution, about liberty and American values. In a cover story this week in Time, editor Richard Stengel asks if the Constitution still matters. Of course it does, but how we interpret it, how we try to understand what the framers meant, and how we apply it today is presenting us greater challenges than perhaps it did in the past.

Stengel writes, "As a counterpoint to the rise of constitutional originalists (those who believe the document should be interpreted only as the drafters understood it), liberal scholars analyze the text just as closely to find the elasticity they believe the framers intended.

Everywhere, there seems to be a debate about the scope and meaning and message of the Constitution. This is a healthy thing. Even the framers would agree on that." (ibid.)

On this July 4th weekend, as we celebrate our country and all of the amazing contributions it has added to the world, including the ideals and values of the Declaration and the Constitution, I wanted to share some thoughts about how this struggle to understand the meaning of an original document, formulated in a different time, in a different era, by very different people, is a very Jewish idea, one that we in fact gave to the world thousands of years before 1776.

We don't have a constitution, but we do have a Torah. And, like the debate we are having today in regard to understanding what the framers meant when they crafted the Constitution, Jews have been arguing about the original intent of the Torah pretty much since...well, since the Torah itself! There are laws, statutes and directives in the Torah that have been subject to debate, discussion and overruling, starting with the daughters of Tzelofchad, which we will read about in a few weeks, who question the Torah's earlier ruling about inheritance only being for sons, and Moses inquires of God and the rule gets altered.

There are verses in the Torah that were explained away by the rabbis of the Talmud as either not applying any longer, never applying or they get made so complex to enact that they eventually fall away.

What the Jewish tradition has that almost no other religious tradition shares, and which a great deal of modern jurisprudence is based on, is the Talmud and all the subsequent later codes, all of which work to explain the meaning of the original document, the Torah, and what it's framer (or framers depending on your view) meant. The Torah condones the death penalty while the Talmud pretty much outlaws it. The Torah tells us to take our malcontent children to the gates of the city and if they can't be reformed by the elders, to stone them to death. The Talmud tells us that never happened and never should happen. Sorry!

And, in the reverse, the Torah is pretty clear about what keeping kosher should look like, and it is pretty simple, while the rabbis of the Talmud and later codes expanded the laws and made them quite complex. We have a long history of interpreting our Torah, redefining its meaning, and using very advanced and creative hermeneutical tools to either alter, or in some cases, downright change, what the original meaning seems to have been. We have the principle of PARDES, which is a rabbinic literary invention, whereby each word of the Torah has four levels of interpretation: the literal meaning, peshat, a more subtle or hinting reading, remez, a creative commentary, drash, and a totally hidden or mysterious meaning, sod. Through this technique, and many others, commentators, most famously Rashi, 11th century in France, have sometimes completely changed the text from what it literally says. Our tradition is incredibly fluid and flexible and always has been.

Today, both in American life and in our Jewish life, we are facing challenges from those that want to read both of our foundational texts, the Constitution and the Torah, in a literalist manner. I will leave the legal aspects of the Constitution and how to understand it to the lawyers and experts, but from what I have read and studied, the framers seemed to want a document that would grow and develop in meaning based on the growth and innovation of the new country they were founding. As Stengel writes in his Time article, "There have been few conflicts in American history greater than the internal debates the framers had about the Constitution. For better or for worse -- and I would argue that it is for better -- the Constitution allows and even encourages deep arguments about the most basic democratic issues." The Torah, I would argue, has a similar make-up, namely that we have been arguing about, discussing, and interpreting the meaning of the text for thousands of years. And, we know that the times were different for the framers of the Constitution as they were for the authors of the Torah. Cultures were different, practices were different, perhaps we might even say that morals were different.

The framers of the Constitution, while giving us freedom of religion and speech, also thought blacks were 3/5's of a human and slavery was okay. The Torah also thinks that slavery is okay, even as it seeks to give rights to slaves that never existed. And, in interpreting text for today, we are called upon to use our own minds, hearts and experiences to understand and apply meaning.

Just as the Constitution didn't know from healthcare, military drones, the internet or globalized commerce, and so lawyers and judges must figure out how to legislate on these matters based on what they think the intent of the framers was, along with later precedent and case law, so too the Torah didn't know from many of the cultural and religious issues facing us today in modern American life: from end of life decisions that involve modern medicine to using technology to bring Shabbat services to homebound seniors. And, because it is so timely with New York's landmark marriage equality law passed just last week, I believe that the Torah verse from Leviticus that has been used for generations to deny gays and lesbians their equal rights in our tradition, must be finally read away with the same Talmudic logic and thinking that was used to read away killing our wayward children. We have changed, evolved, moved as a society and culture, even if some don't agree.

Remember, plenty of people thought slavery was still okay, and the Civil War didn't finish the job when it comes to racial discrimination. As Judge Hand told us, we must sometimes trust our hearts and not our texts.

However, another timely issue that fascinates me, and directly relates to this discussion is that of circumcision. While this merits an entire sermon, I want to end with this thought: Why is it that this ritual, which appears in Genesis, is really, for the most part, one of the only so-called "primitive" rituals from the time of the Bible that we still follow and practice without any real challenge or dispute. Sure there are fringe groups of Jews that have always been against brit milah, but 99% of Jews, religious and secular, follow this ancient ritual without question. Sure, many moms have trepidation, but they still do it. We have never stopped doing it and today, in the face of ridiculous legal challenges, which have thankfully been abandoned in Santa Monica but continue in San Francisco, Jews of all stripes, along with Muslims and religious freedom advocates, are fighting for our right to continue this ancient practice, even as we don't do most of the ancient Biblical practices any longer. Why is that? Fascinating question.

And so, as we celebrate this 4th of July, let us be grateful that we live in one of the freest countries ever to exist, yet we are not perfect. The Constitution must never be allowed to become an idol, just as the Torah must never be allowed to become an idol.

One midrash teaches that Moses shattered the first tablets as a reminder of that notion. We must always do battle between fear and liberty, between power and freedom. That is the great gift, and great challenge, of being human. Thomas Jefferson said it best, when he wrote, "All, too, will bear in mind this sacred principle, that though the will of the majority is in all cases to prevail, that will, to be rightful, must be reasonable; that the minority possess their equal rights, which equal laws must protect, and to violate which would be oppression." That is our great challenge, as Americans and as Jews. May we ponder deeply on this, our nation's birthday. Shabbat shalom and God bless America.

(End quote from Rabbi Grater; emphasis supplied).

Michael Hoffman’s analysis of Rabbi Grater’s Essay 

First let’s look at how Rabbi Grater employs his terms: "There are verses in the Torah that were explained away by the rabbis of the Talmud as either not applying any longer, never applying or they get made so complex to enact that they eventually fall away.”

In Orthodox Judaism the Talmud and the Torah (first five books of the Old Testament = Pentateuch) are conflated. Both are referred to as Torah. Rabbi Grater ignores the conflation, perhaps not wanting to reveal that the Talmud is held in at least equal esteem (actually in greater esteem) than the Old Testament. Next we should realize that Grater’s writing represents the Revelation of the Method. He openly admits that the Talmud tampers with the Word of God as found in the Bible.

The rabbi further states: "The Torah condones the death penalty while the Talmud pretty much outlaws it. The Torah tells us to take our malcontent children to the gates of the city and if they can't be reformed by the elders, to stone them to death. The Talmud tells us that never happened and never should happen.”

This appears like a liberal’s dream. All the “bad parts” of the Bible have been reformed by the Talmudic rabbis. First let’s dispense with a lie: the Talmud does not forbid the death penalty for a malefactor classified as a rodef (pursuer) or a moser (informant). Are these rare categories which are seldom invoked and sparsely populated? Not really. The entire population of Palestine is viewed as rodef, all subject to the death penalty when “Israel” goes to war as it did in Gaza 2008-2009. They can and are killed in times when “Israel’ is not at war, as well.

The Old Testament was in some respects a harsh law code. Who was it that actually reformed it? Jesus Christ.

Now comes an important admission: “...the Torah is pretty clear about what keeping kosher should look like, and it is pretty simple, while the rabbis of the Talmud and later codes expanded the laws and made them quite complex. We have a long history of interpreting our Torah, redefining its meaning, and using very advanced and creative hermeneutical tools to either alter, or in some cases, downright change, what the original meaning seems to have been. We have the principle of PARDES, which is a rabbinic literary invention, whereby each word of the Torah has four levels of interpretation: the literal meaning, peshat, a more subtle or hinting reading, remez, a creative commentary, drash, and a totally hidden or mysterious meaning, sod. Through this technique, and many others, commentators, most famously Rashi, 11th century in France, have sometimes completely changed the text from what it literally says.”

Rabbi Grater is admitting they make this stuff up, which results in a fantasy religion that pretends to be predicated on Biblical law and is in practice founded on man-made fiat. He reveals that the rabbis “completely change the text” of the Bible. How true! As Christ said, they nullify the Word of God. They change the original meaning, and this methodology has a parallel with those who get “creative” with the U.S. Constitution. Often times these U.S. Constitution nullifiers are inspired by Talmudic Judaism's Bible nullifiers and trained at law seminars conducted by rabbis.

Rabbi Grater writes, “...the Torah didn't know from many of the cultural and religious issues facing us today in modern American life: from end of life decisions that involve modern medicine to using technology to bring Shabbat services to homebound seniors.”

Here we see the inherently anti-Biblical orientation of Judaism. I have documented numerous cases wherein the rabbis despise and attack the Bible. They believe they are superior to God and must correct His “mistakes" by the intervention of their elevated brain power and great “wisdom.”

Hence, God, as reflected in His Word (“the Torah”)  didn’t foresee the issues that would face us in the modern world and the Bible does not have answers to those questions. Man must supply them. How? Through nullification:

"And, because it is so timely with New York's landmark marriage equality law passed just last week, I believe that the Torah verse from Leviticus that has been used for generations to deny gays and lesbians their equal rights in our tradition, must be finally read away with the same Talmudic logic and thinking that was used to read away killing our wayward children.”

Orthodox Judaism “kills” its wayward children spiritually, by laying burdens on them impossible to bear— burdens which steal their humanity through the imposition of religious fanatical, anti-life strictures and regulations. Rabbi Grater pretends that Judaism frees people; actually Orthodox Judaism enslaves them. It regulates human life down to how you should tie your shoes and what side of the bed you should sleep on.

We don’t need the Talmud to stop the stoning of children. Jesus Christ declared that the Kingdom of God is like the little child.

Notice the rabbi’s twisted Talmudic logic, so unlike that of Jesus: we must permit homosexual marriage because we have banned the killing of children. How many children will be killed spiritually by being legally adopted and raised by a homosexual couple?

Rabbi Grater: "The Constitution must never be allowed to become an idol, just as the Torah must never be allowed to become an idol.”

The rabbi is making an apples and oranges comparison: the Constitution and the Torah. The Constitution was made by man. Though we respect it, we must not make such a human document into a divine liturgy. On the other hand, God wrote the Torah. It is His Word. An idol is a false god. Is the Bible a false god? Is God’s Word false? In many cases the Talmud and the rabbis answer in the affirmative. God’s Word says Noah was righteous. The Talmud and the Midrash say he was a drunk who was sodomized on board Noah’s Ark. There are hundreds of other examples of Bible-denying in Judaism. They worship themselves and their own words. God and His Word “should not become an idol”!

Rabbi Grater: "Thomas Jefferson said it best, when he wrote, 'All, too, will bear in mind this sacred principle, that though the will of the majority is in all cases to prevail, that will, to be rightful, must be reasonable; that the minority possess their equal rights, which equal laws must protect, and to violate which would be oppression.”

Grater forgot to mention that Thomas Jefferson also said, "Ethics were so little understood among the Jews, that in their whole compilation called the Talmud, there is only one treatise on moral subjects. Their books of morals chiefly consisted in a minute enumeration of duties...What a wretched depravity of sentiment and manners must have prevailed, before such corrupt maxims could have obtained credit...It was the reformation of this ‘wretched depravity’ of morals which Jesus undertook.”

by Michael Hoffman

The Babylonian Talmud was burned in France in the thirteenth century by the Roman Catholic authorities after a series of debates between Nicholas Donin, a Judaic convert to Catholicism, and Rabbi Yechiel, the head of the Paris yeshiva (Talmud school), Rabbi Moshe of Coucy, Rabbi Yehuda of Melon and Rabbi Shmuel of Chateu-Thierry.

Donin asserted the following points in the debate:

1. Rabbinic emphasis on the sanctity of their own Oral nullifies the Law of God found in the Bible.

2. The Talmud fosters anti-goy and anti-Christian bigotry.

3. The Talmud blasphemes Jesus Christ.

The rabbis offered the following counter-points:

1. Maintained the need for a book of commentary that would clarify Scripture.

2. Pointed to willful distortion of the Talmud's alleged anti-goy and anti-Christian passages.

3. Asserted that the Jesus mentioned in the Talmud was another Jesus, one who had lived prior to the time of Jesus of Nazareth.

The rabbis lost the debate. Pope Gregory IX approved the order of King St. Louis IX (1214-1270) for the burning of 24 cartloads of Talmud volumes.

Gregory's successor, Pope Innocent IV, continued to approve the practice. He stated to King Louis IX: "The rabbis in their Talmud throw away and despise the Law of Moses and the prophets and follow some tradition of their elders....The regents of Paris read the above-named book of abuse and these which have been examined and condemned by them should, at your order, be burned in the fire wherever they an be found, throughout your kingdom."

On p. 75 of the July 1, 2011 issue of "5Towns Jewish Times," a New York newspaper for Orthodox Judaics, Harav Nosson Dovid Rabinowich revels, as usual, in his religion's penchant for revenge. He gloats as follows:

"However, the Jewish people have their sweet revenge...I was recently delivering shiurim (Talmud lessons) in Basel, Switzerland and was invited to visit a successful yeshiva ketanah and gedolah and thriving Jewish community right over the border, in France, between Mulhouse and Basel. That town is called Saint Louis and its patron is King Louis IX! The beautiful sounds of Gemara (Talmud) reverberate daily throughout this little town. Once again, Hashem has kept His promise: 'He will bring retribution upon his foes!”
