Recently, Turkey’s Prime Minister Erdogan accused Israel of killing thousands of Palestinians over its 63-year history. He also said Israel exploits the Holocaust to curry world sympathy. Both charges are manifestly true. Even in the first months after Israel’s Deir Yassin massacre and terrorist expulsion of 800,000 Arabs in 1948, Israel shelled dozens of defenseless Arab towns and cities and killed thousands of Arabs who did not vacate their homes quickly enough. (See, “Israel: On the Way to Empire in the Mideast”and “Israel: Founded on Terror”)
Yet Netanyahu snapped back: “these are outrageous charges that have nothing to do with the facts. In Israel we are used to telling the truth and the truth is that these allegations are completely false.”
The boldness of Netanyahu to lie is a reminder that the state of Israel is founded upon the Babylonian Talmud, which permits Jews to deceive Gentiles.
The following is a modified reprint of a very important 2010 article. I update readers to the fact that the possibility of killing even innocent gentiles is very much in vogue among ultra-Orthodox rabbis in Israel today. It is also an important reminder of Jesus’ warning to “beware of the leaven [deceit and hypocrisy] of the Pharisees [Talmudic Judaism].” (Matthew 16:6)
