By Michael Hoffman  

From the Jewish Daily Forward newspaper of August 21: On August 17, a mob of several dozen Israeli teenagers — some reports say as many as 50 — assaulted four Palestinian youths in the center of Jerusalem, in an attack that even the Jerusalem police have labeled an attempted "lynching." The Judaic youths shouted "death to Arabs" as they chased down and beat the Palestinians. One of the four Palestinian victims remains in critical condition after being resuscitated. Some of the alleged perpetrators have already been arrested. As the indictments and trials proceed, it is likely that a story will emerge of a few "bad apples" who don't represent Judaic youth as a whole. But this incident holds up a mirror to the faces of those who consider themselves part of the global Zionist movement.

It can be easy to write off these incidents as the work of a few radical Israeli "settlers," who do not represent the Israeli populace or the American diaspora. But this attack was different. It took place in Zion Square, in the heart of downtown Jerusalem, where every tourist to the city has stopped to eat a falafel or to browse displays of tallitot. According to some eyewitnesses, as many as 100 people — presumably ordinary Israelis and tourists — watched passively, without trying to stop the beatings. This attack was not a one-time event. It comes just a few months after a group of Israeli teenagers stormed the Malha Mall — the major shopping center in Jerusalem — yelling racist epithets and singling out Arab workers and shoppers for beatings. (End quote)

The worldwide Zionist movement complains constantly about so-called "anti-Semitism" within occupied Palestine. But among Israelis one regularly hears descriptions of Palestinians as a group that would be condemned as virulent anti-Semitism if one were to substitute the word "Jew." Offensive caricatures of Palestinians are displayed in synagogues. Dismissals of Palestinian identity, and callous denial of their history and the atrocities committed against them, are commonplace. Orthodox rabbis write authoritative books like Torat Hamelech which contain religious declarations based on the Talmud calling for the murder of Palestinian infants. "Torah sage" Rabbi Ovadia Yosef calls for the extermination of the Palestinians themselves. Is it any wonder that some Judaic youth hate Palestinians and Arabs and seek to beat and even lynch them?

None of these events are surprising given the contents of the Talmud and subsidiary texts, and the kind of racial worship which Israeli "Jews" are accorded by Protestant Fundamentalists in America, and the modern Church of Rome.

Judaic exceptionalism nullifies these horrors. This exceptionalism is a fixture of the Zionist controlled media in the U.S., Britain, Canada, Australia and Europe. Judaism's Talmud is whitewashed and presented to the public as a series of debates without halachic authority. 

Israeli massacres and war crimes against Lebanon and Palestine are never commemorated in the media -- the same media which annually notes every date associated with persecution of Judaics in World War II, from the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising to the liberation of Auschwitz. Meanwhile, all memory of the liberation of the brutal El Khiam concentration camp in Lebanon -- which was built under Israeli direction and staffed by their proxies -- has long since faded into the dust of history, just as the holocaust the Israelis perpetrated in Beirut in the summer of 1982 has vanished from the media's memory banks. Attacks committed by the Assad family in Syria in 1982 have been recently described as the worst in the region in that era -- the Israeli holocaust in Beirut in the same time period doesn't merit a blip on the radar screen of selective indignation. Lebanon was attacked again in the first decade of the 2lst century, as was Gaza. It's all forgotten now.

How do we account for this perverse amnesia? My answer would be that it perfectly reflects Talmudic doctrine, which holds that the "Jews" are above every other nation, may not be judged by goyim (gentiles), and are the only truly human beings on the planet. I have written two books exploring the fact that this dogma is indeed halacha (the law) in Orthodox Judaism, emanating from the Mishnah and Gemara (i.e. the Talmud Bavli), Rashi, Maimonides, the Shulchan Aruch, Mishnah Berurah, etc. ad nauseam. 

These facts cannot be acknowledged or discussed in the conservative, liberal or middle of the road American media. The tool of intimidation, the "anti-semitism" canard, is used to keep timid souls -- ranging from the John Birch Society on the Right, to The Nation magazine on the Left -- from accepting advertisements for my books or reviewing and critiquing them. It's not just my books of course that suffer this infamous "silent treatment." 

Every other religion, from Islam to Christianity, is open to scrutiny and denunciation except Talmudic Judaism. Valdimir Putin is now a far more villainous character in the eyes of the West for defending the sanctity of the rebuilt Cathedral of Christ the Savior in Moscow, than the Saudi sheiks of Wahabi Islam who will not allow a single Christian chapel open to the public anywhere in their nation. The media fail to mention that the cathedral Putin and the Russian judiciary defended against the defilement of a rock band with a name as degraded as the band members themselves, had been razed in the 1930s by a top Judaic Communist, Lazar Kaganovich, who exulted at its ruin, declaring, "Mother Russia is cast down!"

If any "punk" band had entered a synagogue in Germany that had been rebuilt after Nazis had torn it down, and then performed a mime against Binyamin Nentanyahu set to filthy lyrics on the Internet, most of the same "defenders of free speech" now caterwauling against the Russian government for its repression of "art and satire," would be howling for the heads of the punks who invaded the synagogue. The prerogatives of the artist would be dismissed as a "flimsy cover" for "anti-semitic hate speech," and off to Germany's jails they would be carted, just as revisionist satirists and historians have been imprisoned in Germany when they have blasphemed against the sacred icon of the evanescent gas chamber of Auschwitz.

Always the Talmudic double standard. 

In the name of democracy, tolerance and liberty for all, we are ruled by the spirit of the Talmud.

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.

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.
