**Left Column:**

- **(Soferim 15): "Even the best of Goyim should all be killed."**
Misleading: Mistranslation/out-of-context. True sense: In wartime against enemies (e.g., Egyptians pursuing Jews), kill even the "best" of the opposing nation—no general command to kill non-Jews.

- **(Yebamoth 98a): "All children of Goyim are animals."**
Misleading: Mistranslation of legal discussion on patrilineage. True: Quotes Ezekiel comparing Egyptian offspring to donkeys/horses for lineage purposes (no father recognized in Jewish law for converts); not calling all gentile kids animals.

- **(Baba Mezia 114b): "Gentiles 'Goys' are not humans, they are beasts."**
Misleading: Fabricated addition. Actual: Rabbi Shimon says gentile graves don't impart ritual impurity (per Ezekiel: Jews called "adam"/man in specific verse); discusses purity laws for priests, not humanity or "beasts."

- **(Gad Shas 2:2): "A Jew may violate but not marry a non Jew girl."**
Misleading: Fabricated source/book doesn't exist in Talmud. No such teaching.

- **(Abodah Zarah 36b): "Gentile 'Goy' girls are in a state of niddah (filth) from birth."**
Misleading: Out-of-context. Discusses rabbinic decrees on interactions/impurity with idolaters (historical pagans), not inherent "filth" or modern non-Jews.

- **(Sanhedrin 54b): "A Jew may have sex with a child as long as the child is less than nine years old."**
Misleading: Gross distortion. Actual: Technical legal debate on when an act counts as "intercourse" for liability in forbidden relations (e.g., homosexuality/bestiality cases); defines ages for halakhic status, not permission. Judaism forbids all child sexual abuse.

**Right Column:**

- **(Sanhedrin 58b): "If a Goy hits a Jew he must be killed."**
Misleading: Hyperbolic midrashic statement (re: Moses killing Egyptian). Not practical law; "liable to death" often means divine punishment, not human court. Talmud doesn't mandate killing.

- **(Sanhedrin 57a): "When a Jew murders a gentile there will be no death penalty."**
Misleading: Out-of-context Noahide laws discussion. Talmudic rabbis debate; actual halakha holds Jews accountable for murder of non-Jews (capital in theory, with courts). Not a free pass.

- **(Tospoth Jebamoth 84b): "If you eat with a Goy is the same as eating with a dog."**
Misleading: Likely fabricated or twisted. Tosafot are commentaries; no such direct equivalence in standard texts.

- **(Baba Mezia 24a): "If a Jew finds an object lost by a Gentile 'Goy' it does not have to be returned."**
Misleading: Partial truth in ancient context (idolaters assumed no return expectation). Overridden by later rulings; many sources require return to promote peace/kiddush Hashem. Not general theft permission.

- **(Baba Kamma 113a): "Jews may use lies to circumvent a 'Goy' Gentile."**
Misleading: Context-specific (e.g., avoiding harm/tax under persecution). General rule: Lying forbidden; honesty required, especially to avoid desecrating God's name.

- **(Abodah Zarah 22a-22b): "Gentiles 'Goys' prefer sex with cows."**
Misleading: Stereotypical slur against ancient pagans/idolaters in debate on interactions. Not a blanket claim about all non-Jews.

These are classic examples of antisemitic lists with fabrications, mistranslations, and decontextualized snippets from debates (often rejected opinions) in a 1500+ year-old text of arguments, not a rulebook. Normative Judaism rejects supremacist or harmful readings.

@ericweinstein Would Roger not say the same thing

[Maksim Grinman 🇺🇲 ✡️ @Grinman]

The Jews in the Book of Esther defended themselves against a legally sanctioned extermination order, rather than killing unarmed Persians.

Haman's original decree (Esther 3:13) gave all citizens in the Persian Empire the legal right to kill and plunder the Jews on the 13th of Adar. When Mordecai secured a counter-decree (Esther 8:11), it allowed the Jews the same legal right to defend themselves and strike down anyone who attacked them.

The text indicates this was a defensive action:

The Jews "assembled to defend their lives" (Esther 9:16).
They acted against those who "hated them" and were their enemies (Esther 9:5).
The narrative states the enemies "had hoped to overpower them, but now the tables were turned" (Esther 9:1).
