First let’s take a step back and see the full context:
Having been accused of being an ignorant antisemite, he decided to “educate” himself by buying the equivalent of “The Complete Dummy’s Guide to Judaism.”
That is, of course, if he even bought it (I’m quite sure he didn’t)
And then, sitting down like the intellectual that he is (I imagine it involves a mahagony desk, a very expensive reading chair, a sweater and a pipe, all by the fire place), he came up with his very first question:
Uh oh! The Jews are in trouble!
Then we get to our second snag in the road: this Talmud is quoting a very disturbing passage as well:
What will the Jews possibly do to get out of this situation?!
Well here’s where things start to get spicy:
This book, published in 1876, is available for free on the Internet Archives. Furthermore, in a searchable version:
Ctrl+f
goyim = not found
Avoda Zara = not found
37a = not found
Ravina = not foundarchive.org/stream/talmud0…
I can’t believe someone would lie on the internet in order to propagate antisemitism!
It is very pathetic however:
He felt the need to pretend that he bought an actual book to give himself more credibility, invented what was in the book, and just relied on debunked tropes.
“But, hey”, I hear you say, “you didn’t actually deny what the text is saying in the passage that he quoted.”
You’re right! I am not denying that what he quoted is true, however, it’s wildly out of context. Let’s look at what the context actually is:
The Talmud in Avodah Zarah 36b is actually discussing the absolute prohibition for Jews to have any type of intercourse with any non-Jew whatsoever (as well as any Jew outside of the bonds of marriage).
That’s why in Avodah Zarah 37a it says what it says:

Here’s something each & everyone of you need to realize & internalize:
All of those people in the media, on social media, at your work, school or neighborhood, those who declare their support for Hamas and their “resistance”…
They don’t just support it abroad, but at home too.
This is a mask off moment, and you need to realize we are a sheep surrounded by seventy wolves.
The people who support this are no different than those who passively (or actively) supported the Holocaust.
They are like those who knew full well what happened and were ok with it.
If, after images and videos of Jewish women being raped, killed and mutilated, babies being beheaded and burned alive, of the elderly and entire families being slaughtered, they are still supporting them doing it over there.
Know that they support them doing it over here, too.
A short thread exposing @TorahJudaism for the imposter account that it is.
I first came across this account right after it posted, and started to pretend to be Jewish and posting videos representing the Haredi position on Judaism, Israel and Zionism. He went under the name “@RabbiAmramBlau”
I could immediately tell he was lying about who he was:
1) he posted at a time where it would have been impossible for anyone not to desecrate the Shabbat whether they are in America, Europe or Israel
2) he used the name “Amram Blau” without any of the honorifics that should be used, something that would be EXTREMELY rude to Rav Blau
So, everyone cared about Jamie Fox’s insta & noticed the 14/88 from RFK Jr’s tweet but somehow we’re supposed to ignore AOC’s “109” in a public statement accusing Jews of subverting American politics through “dark money” & of racism by specifically targeting minority candidates?
Just the fact that she says AIPAC are international bourgeoisie attacking the working class through its defenders it is a very specific antisemitic trope, on top of the identity politics of “Jews are white & benefit from the oppression of real minorities” & should be condemned.
But there is zero proof whatsoever that AIPAC has sponsored or backed “109” candidates trying to subvert democracy.
109 is the supposed number of countries Jews were kicked out of after trying to subvert them according to Neo-Nazis and others online.
Such a shame that it won’t pass, because it would solve most of Israel’s issues as far as Haredim and the economy goes.
Have them go through 3 years of bootcamp-like learning, after which they are able to legally get a job. The number of people lifers in kollel will plummet.
You can even create a system with yeshivot that have dorms & are as demanding as the army as far as schedule goes. Tests, etc, to show that they’re not slacking off. Make it practical so most get semicha.
Then they’ll turn around and be like American Haredim where most work.
“I am not religious, I went to the army, it’s way more important to have soldiers than to have scholars!”
Yes, the physical survival of the Jewish people depends on soldiers.
The spiritual survival of the Jewish people depends on scholars.
Since "Talmud" is trending, here's something most of those involved in this have no idea about:
When people say it takes 7 1/2 years to complete it if you learn for an hour and a half to two hours every single day without break, they are only talk about a third of a page.
Really, you will only be covering the Pink (Mishnah), Yellow (Gemara) and Rashi (Blue), especially if it's your first time. The hardest part of the Gemara, that people take years to master, is the green part and not covered in that cycle
7 1/2 years at 2 hours a day = easy mode
To find someone who has completed the entire Talmud with each and every single Tosfot (the Green section) is very rare.
To find someone who has completed the entire Talmud with every Tosfot and understood all of them? Even more rare.
People are blaming the residents of Judea and Samaria for reacting to the murders of Israelis by rioting.
People are blaming the Israeli government for failing to curtail the killings and failing to curtail the riots.
Here’s who’s really to blame:
The Palestinian Authority.
If they enforced their own laws,guns wouldn’t be proliferating to the point where it’s so easy to buy a weapon and murder Israeli civilians.
If they enforced the law, they would arrest the murderers.
If they enforced the law, they wouldn’t allow terrorist groups to multiply.
They refuse to enforce the law, they refuse to punish those who kill civilians, they refuse to prevent terror groups from training and eventually launch operations against Israel.
It’s because of their purposeful inaction that the situation is degenerating as it is.
