   Oh, goody, that makes me feel so much better about the honesty and transparency of the translator.

     The rabbi at the same time will tell you that they dindu nuffin and were innocent victims, then admit in a footnote about 1800 pages in that some passages of the Talmud are so foul that they would reflect badly if they were to be translated. This translation is at the top of the search results I got. The evasiveness and deception around this shit strikes me as more damning than just owning up to the awful passages and asserting that you don't interpret them as binding or meaningful or whatever.

     @ArdainianRight the entire thing is a testament to how degenerate and evil they are. Like... some passages are comically cartoonish to the point it seems almost fake tbh.

     @ArdainianRight @SpurgAnon i mean one of the passages explicitly forbids letting the goyim read the talmud, that should tell you everything about jews as a people and their "faith"

     The more someone relies on an elaborate backstory that isn’t in the text, the more they are lying
