Jews - The Jewish view that non-Jews are dogs - would a similar view if about Jews, be considered antisemitic?

Question

Jewish professor Sacha Stern writes:

"The non-Jews are considered similar to dogs; they are even, according to the Mekhilta, of a lesser account than dogs. Ishmael, the ancestor of the Arabs, is "equal to a dog", for both he and the dog eat carrion. Eating together with an uncircumcised is like eating together with a dog: for a dog is also uncircumcised. R. Akiva told Turnus Rufus that he appeared to him in a dream as a dog, and with good reason: for

'what is the difference between you and dogs-you eat and drink, and so do they, you bear fruits and multiply, and so do they, you will eventually die, and so will they.'

It is quite clear that these statements aim at conveying that the non-Jews share
the general features of the animal world, and particularly the lowliness of dogs."

Jewish professor Israel Shahak writes:

"Thus an Orthodox Jew learns from his earliest youth, as part of his sacred studies, that Gentiles are compared to dogs, that it is a sin to praise them, and so on and so forth."

Answer 1

Just re-word your question, and change around the non-jews to jews and vice versa, and see if your question doesn't get deleted, and maybe even your computer, and you will know who is running the show here, and why we are on the side of the leash...

Answer 2

...and using your logic all Muslims are fanatical sadistic terrorists; all Pagans sacrifice and eat people on a daily basis; all Germans believe Jews were suckled from pigs; and all christians hate Egyptians and can daily murder them by drowning in the red sea!



Just because the hard-line vitriol of a couple of idiots gets put into print does not mean the entire religion should be tainted.



However, your point about turning the comments on their head being antisemitic is valid, but not limited to the Jewish faith; any derogatory comments against any person or group of people is wrong.



People hold differing beliefs and want to live their lives in different ways - all the hard-line idiots should learn to live with it. If they can't live with it and continue with the vitriol they should all be had up for racism/incitement to religious hatred/disturbing the peace/public disorder offences......

Answer 3

Yes it would be considered anti semitic if anyone else was to call a Jew a dog-Oh yes they are the chosen ones alright,they were chosen to perish by God after they murdered his son and released a murderer and they are still chosen to this day.

Answer 4

Some Teachings of the Jewish Talmud

Moed Kattan 17a: If a Jew is tempted to do evil he should go to a city where he is not known and do the evil there.



Penalty for Disobeying Rabbis



Erubin 21b. Whosoever disobeys the rabbis deserves death and will be punished by being boiled in hot excrement in hell.



Hitting a Jew is the same as hitting God



Sanhedrin 58b. If a heathen (gentile) hits a Jew, the gentile must be killed.



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. The 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.

Abodah Zarah 22a-22b . Gentiles prefer sex with cows.

Answer 5

Oh darn. You must have confused Jews with Muslims. Just because a couple members of a religion say something doesn't mean that's what the religion says. You have to look at its holly scriptures.

Answer 6

WTF???? How sad to call someone whos not a jew a dog. I wasnt born jew doesnt mean im a dog except snoop dogg. No wonder people are sad to jews. I was never angry to jews until I jumped to this question. FLUCK YOU JEWISH PROFESSOR YOUR A DOG YOURSELF.

Answer 7

Wow, you're saying that al Jews feel the same way as one very extreme Jew.



Let me tell you, I don't feel that way about others and I'm Jewish. I don't know any Jewish people (and I know LOTS!) who feel that way either.



Basing an entire people off of one person = fail.

Answer 8

Congratulations, you've discovered that much like we have the burden of wingnuts like you to carry, they have their own hateful idiot minority.

Answer 9

If you say anything other than Jews are the Chosen People, you are considered anti-semitic.
