Gentiles of Palestine

Gentiles

The recent attacks on Palestinians that killed innocent people in cold blood have indeed shaken the world. The media blackout is not new to these stories since Israel is usually perceived to be a victim under such circumstances.

The present conflict and the Lebanon War of 2006 have one thing in common, they are brutal. People are killed as if lives do not matter. In short they are killed like animals.

Although, I regret the use of the harsh word, but then again this is what the teachings of Talmud (the book the Jews follow)imply when referring to Gentiles. We will look into this matter using Jewish and Non-Jewish references.

Gentiles
The term Gentile (from Latin, gentilis, meaning of or belonging to a clan or tribe) refers to non-Israelite tribes or nations in translations of the Bible, most notably the English King James Version.

Prayer that every Jew can say
The Talmud allows the Jews to recite the following prayer:

Thank you God for not making me a Gentile, a woman or a slave.(Shabbath 86a-86b.)

Judging from this prayer and the words “women” and “slaves” used with it, seems that these three have qualities that are unacceptable to Jews. But then again we must not jump to conclusions.

Gentiles in Bible

But I said that there is no such word in the Bible IN ITS ORIGINAL LANGUAGES. The word was put into it by translators, who changed the wording of the Bible centuries after the last book in the Bible was written.

What does this word “Gentile” mean, and from what is it derived? It is derived from the Latin word “GENTILES,” which means “ONE WHO IS NOT A ROMAN CITIZEN.” If you use the word correctly, then you would have to say that Jesus Christ and His twelve disciples were all Gentiles, because none of them was a Roman Citizen.

Excerpts from Talmud

There are certain references from the Talmud that define the Gentiles and Jewish “rights” over Gentiles.

Also see Kerithoth 6b under the sub-head, “Oil of Anointing” and Berakoth 58a in which Gentile women are designated animals (“she-asses”).

Jews are Divine, Sanhedrin 58b. If a heathen (Gentile) hits a Jew, the Gentile must be killed. Hitting a Jew is the same as hitting God.

O.K. to Cheat Non-Jews, Sanhedrin 57a . A Jew need not pay a Gentile (“Cuthean”) the wages owed him for work.

Jews Have Superior Legal Status, Baba Kamma 37b. “If an ox of an Israelite gores an ox of a Canaanite there is no liability; but if an ox of a Canaanite gores an ox of an Israelite…the payment is to be in full.”

Jews May Steal from Non-Jews, Baba Mezia 24a . If a Jew finds an object lost by a Gentile (“heathen”) it does not have to be returned. (Affirmed also in Baba Kamma 113b).

Sanhedrin 76a . God will not spare a Jew who “marries his daughter to an old man or takes a wife for his infant son or returns a lost article to a Cuthean…”

Jews May Rob and Kill Non-Jews, Sanhedrin 57a . When a Jew murders a Gentile (“Cuthean”), there will be no death penalty. What a Jew steals from a Gentile he may keep.

Baba Kamma 37b. Gentiles are outside the protection of the law and God has “exposed their money to Israel.”

Jews May Lie to Non-Jews, Baba Kamma 113a. Jews may use lies (“subterfuges”) to circumvent a Gentile.

1. One who kills a Gentile, and even a ger toshav, is not put to death for this by the Beit Din, even if he kills him with intent. This is clearly stated in the Torah and in the words of Chazal.

2. In the opinion of the HaRa’aban, one who kills a Gentile transgresses the negative commandment of “You shall not murder,” and in the opinion of Maimonides, the Yeare’im, and Rabbi David HaKochavi, the murder of a Gentile is not included in this negative commandment. However, according to all opinions there exists a prohibition in this matter, as is clear from the words of Chazal.

So the Torah differentiates between a Jew and a Gentile with regards to the killing of a man.

…

An ox of a Jew who hurt an ox of a Gentile[13] is exempt. An ox of a Gentile who hurt the ox of a Jew — whether it is an ox who was harmless before or an ox which has been proven dangerous, [the owner] must pay the full damage

Israeli Encounters

Israeli Army’s main concern is to keep the local population vulnerable and unable to defend itself. Soldiers got used to kill unarmed civilians. Their preferred victims are children; the weapon of choice is a long range high velocity sharp-shooter rifle. Their idea of entertainment was witnessed by an expert on ‘the dark side of the [Israel Defence] Force’, the chief of New York Times Middle East bureau, Chris Hedges: they pour abuse at children of the refugee camp and shot and maim them as they approach the deadly trap2.

Ending Remarks

We began with our use of “animal” to define victims of Israeli raids. “Animals” is what non-jews are perceived by the Israelis, hence the nature of attacks. If to this day the world in general and muslims in particular choose to look the other way, than some day when history books are opened in the future, children may read about “the mythical muslim civilization”

Ever Wondered What is the Root Cause of Israel-Palestinian Conflict?

The word “Extremist” is redefined by history to specifically target “fundamentalist Muslims”. There are alternative uses to this word as well, consider the case of Jews, for example.

“In other words, as long as the Jews believed that they were acting as instruments of God�s will, they did not have to follow the laws of gentile nations. As Israelis have moved to the religious right, a shift propelled by the rationale and experience of Zionism itself, Zionist advocates have shown an increasing willingness to justify their human rights abuses as a Jewish prerogative.”

Yes, the Jews believe that they are the most preferred nation by “God”, and hence should retun to a land given to them by God.

“The theology of chosenness offered another advantage; it did limit Zionist ambitions to Palestine alone. The Lord�s promise was not restricted to Canaan; in a few more generous verses, He had expanded the Jewish inheritance to include all the lands between the Nile and Euphrates (Genesis: 15.18). With present-day borders, this expansive Israeli empire would include Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, and perhaps more. If the Zionists could successfully use the Bible to claim Palestine, they could invoke the same divine authority to claim the rest of the Arab Middle East as well.” DAWN Encounter

“Zionism is also complex and also comes from deep within Jewish history with the same sense of exile and return. Zionism also confirms that Jews are special in their suffering and is explicit that Jews should ‘return’ to a land given to them, and only them – by God if they are religious, or by history if they are not – because they simply are not safe anywhere else on earth.” Ziopedia.org

Ironic it is that the same chauvinistic drive caused the murder of millions of Jews, and now the Jews want to relive that, with their roles reversed.

The article on Ziopedia.org is informative, however, there still is a mystery regarding unwavering American support for Israel. The article covers it but still this does not explain the whole situation. According to Dr. Shahid Masood, there seems to be some religious connection.

Whatever the case, the present “baseless” conflicts in Lebanon and Iraq by Americans and Israel can be adequately explained by this.
