Dear Mr. Hoffman: On what legal grounds do Israelis slaughter with impunity 7,000 children in Gaza?
Hoffman replies: The Israeli killers are exempt from punishment on the basis of their supreme law, the Babylonian Talmud, tractate Sanhedrin 57a. pic.twitter.com/ZVqnQj6RZs— Michael Hoffman (@HoffmanMichaelA) December 12, 2023
The Palestinian people suffer due to the unconscionable neglect of these facts.
BABYLONIAN TALMUD (“BT”):
“With regard to robbery the term permitted is relevant, as it is permitted for a Jew to rob a gentile.”
— BT Sanhedrin 57a
“It is necessary to teach the halacha of one who withholds the wages of a hired laborer; for a gentile to do so to another gentile, and for a gentile to do so to a Jew is prohibited, but for a Jew to do so to a gentile it is permitted.”
— BT Sanhedrin 57a
Wherever there is liability for capital punishment, with regard to bloodshed, if a gentile murders another gentile, or a gentile murders a Jew, he is liable. If a Jew murders a gentile, he is exempt.
— BT Sanhedrin 57a
