Is the Talmud Satanic? | Unpacked

What is the Talmud and why do some people think it’s satanic? The first person to make up this lie was a vengeful excommunicated Jew who converted to Catholicism. Over the centuries this lie has been perpetuated in places like Johannes Eisenmenger’s distorted book “Judaism Unmasked,” and by literary icon and notable antisemite, Alice Walker.

A Jew telling me that the talmud is completely misunderstood 😂😂😂

[truthseeker]

There is no denying that Talmud is satanic

[borginburkes]

Masters of double speak and deflection

[servantofallah]

The Jew will always tell you what happened to him but he'll never tell you why.

[seiam]

its funny when you used a clip of seth rogan saying "its a lie" when he himself affirms the insidious nature of those traditions. lol.

[OohSoGANGSTA]

What a biased look at an evil practice

[kenjimallone]

Explain the Talmudic practices such as the 'Ketanah.'

Let's not skip over their practices.

[abundantharmony]

Start dropping Talmud quotes in the comments and let's really see what kind of book it is..

“When the messiah comes, every JEW will have 2800 slaves.”
Talmud-Simeon Haddarsen fol 56-D

[spencore]

The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist...

[davestrongman]

That’s some good gaslighting there boy

[SloveLDK]

Are the people responsible for the death of Jesus who reject him to this day satanic? I can’t seem to figure it out, I mean it’s so complicated, right?

[ballermilw]

This video is extremely disingenuous. You don't have to be a Talmudic scholar to see how someone could find some of the passages troubling. Lying and being disingenuous about this only increases suspicion and distrust towards Jews.

[WE_WUZ]

What were the tunnels for under the synagogue and why were multiple children's mattresses pulled out? One of them looked really soiled. Seems like a strange place to keep children's beds and toys.

[namegoeshere]

It literally says Jesus is boiling in a lake of human excrement. Case closed.

[borginburkes]

What’s funny is that you presented the accusations, but didn’t even try to deny them.

[logicone]

Pretty good argument for not even citing or reading a word of the Talmud to us. Gee thanks. 👎

[wowzers_]

Jews attempt to trick god by "transferring" their sins to a chicken and then killing it.

Jew: "Hey, Lenny -- we sure fooled god, didn't we?"

[Tacoblaco]

After 2000 years of persecution from every culture you come in contact with, perhaps its time to reassess your own behavior

[dailybreaddaily]

But you refuse to quote the passages in the talmud about jesus.. makes your case look weak by refusing to counter the words that are in the talmud and just brush it off as
