Professor Shahak reports that the Zionists publicly and ceremonially burned hundreds of copies of the New Testament in Jerusalem on March 23, 1980. They were destroyed under the auspices of Yad Le’akhim, a Jewish religious organization subsidized by the Israeli Ministry of Religions.¹ To think that this is the same government that some Christian ministers say we should support with American tax dollars! Among other startling charges, Dr. Shahak says:

Jewish children are actually taught — passages such as that which commands every Jew, whenever passing near a cemetery, to utter a blessing if it is Jewish, but to curse the mothers of the dead if it is non-Jewish. . . it became customary to spit (usually three times) upon seeing a church or a crucifix. . . .²

Dr. Shahak quotes the very popular, Israeli-published Talmudic Encyclopedia, which discusses the relationship between Jew and Goy ("Goy" meaning any non-Jew).

If a Jew has coitus [sexual intercourse] with a Gentile woman, whether she be a child of three or an adult, whether married or unmarried, and even if she is a minor aged only nine years and one day — because he had willful coitus with her, she must be killed, and as is the case with a beast, because through her a Jew got into trouble.³ (the Talmudic Encyclopedia)⁴

I knew of such hateful Talmudic laws long before I read Shahak’s latest book, yet they still astonish me each time I read them. The monstrous implications still shock me. If a Jew rapes a young Christian girl, the little girl must be killed because she got a Jew in trouble! How does one even respond to such depravity, to such evil? Professor Shahak goes on page after page illustrating hateful Judaic laws against Christians, laws that permit Jews to cheat, to steal, to rob, to kill, to rape, to lie, even to enslave Christians.

The bulk of his book shows that Judaism in Israel, instead of moderating these anti-Gentile laws, actually becomes more openly hateful of Gentiles with each passing day. Dr. Shahak says that in order to hide their beliefs from Christians in Europe, many offending Talmudic passages and common prayers were substituted by code words (such as Cuthean for Gentile or Balaam for Jesus) by the Jewish authorities. Lists of Talmudic Omissions were circulated to fully clarify the code words in the viciously anti-Gentile passages. But today the passages are again being restored and published in their original form (without code words) for Israeli schoolchildren.⁵

From the earliest days of Christendom, Catholic popes issued edicts condemning the Jews for their usury, domination of the slave trade, prostitution and other vices, and their anti-Christian teachings and activities. Protestants were just as vociferously anti-Jewish. The founder of Protestantism, Martin Luther, read the books of the Talmud and called the Jews "agents of the Devil."⁶ The dominant Christian viewpoint from the first century until the 1960s was that the Jewish people once had a special relationship with God, a Covenant. However, that Covenant was strictly conditional. In Deuteronomy 7:6-12 God states the covenant in explicit terms.

Know, therefore, that only the Lord your God is God, the faithful God who keeps His covenant and steadfast love to those who love Him and keep His commandments, to a thousand generations and requites to their faith those who hate him, by destroying them — never slow with those who reject Him, but requiting them instantly. Therefore, observe faithfully the instruction-the laws and the rules — with which I charge you today. (Deuteronomy 7:6-12)⁷
