kidd rune, you do know what the Torah is right?
Yes, but I doubt he had the Torah cracked open in front of him.

The Talmud is actually more precise anyway.


I do know what that is, I am Jewish.

If you want to be pedantic.. the Tenach would be even better!

Are you saying that Whites aren't included in "All other people" and that Jews believed they WERE Whites?
I am saying that there is absolutely no evidence that the Torah was

1. Making a difference between whites and jews at that point or that the concept of white even existed

2. Referrring to Christians since they did not even exist at the time the Torah was revealed/written.

So yes you do look like an idiot.

I am saying that:
*They are implying everyone that isn't Jewish.
*Whites, along with everyone else (but Jews) are included in that.

Jake long its the fucking Torah, thats evidence for what is said in the Torah. He can't get out the scrolls for you unless you happen to read ancient hebrew, which I very much doubt.

WTF are you talking about?

MY version was from the Torah

KR's version is from the KJV
Which one do you believe on this? The Torah or the KJV???????

Does the Torah speak of whites? Does it say Jews are above whites?

Are you really taking KR 's side on this? Are you really sayng Jews are supremacists above whites?

come on if you know so much tell us.

So you're denying this


"For you are a holy people to YHWH your God, and God has chosen you to be his treasured people from all the nations that are on the face of the earth."


"The Lord did not set his love upon you, nor choose you, because you were more in number than any people; for you were the fewest of all people; but because the Lord loved you, and because he would keep the oath which he had sworn unto your ancestors."

 


Views of superiority have been explicitly rejected by Reform, Conservative and Modern Orthodox Judaism. Communal Jewish organizations such as the B'nai Brith, American Jewish Committee and Anti-Defamation League reject discrimination against Gentiles as well as against Jews. Historically however, a minority strain in Judaism, usually associated with Jewish mysticism, did appear to hold that Jews were qualitatively different from Gentiles, rather than simply being chosen for a special mission.

The Encyclopedia Judaica provides a secular, historical explanation of this belief, stating that "It would seem that the more extreme, and exclusive, interpretations of the doctrine of election, among Jewish thinkers, were partly the result of reaction to oppression by the non-Jewish world. The more the Jew was forced to close in on himself, to withdraw into the imposed confines of the ghetto, the more he tended to emphasize Israel's difference from the cruel gentile without. Only thus did his suffering become intelligible and bearable... When the Jew was eventually allowed to find his place in a gentile world, the less exclusivist aspect of the doctrine reasserted itself."

I'm getting so fucking confused. Whoever one of you is asking for evidence, we're talking about the Torah. The one that was supposedly written down by Moses on instruction from God.

I'm not a white supremacist Jew. I think the argument you two seem to be having is whether the Torah says Jews are above all others, well yes it does. But not above whites exclusively. Above white gentiles, but also above black gentiles. And black jews are above white gentiles etc...

The end.

It's really moreso that translations can be altered.

Where the hell did you get "White Supremacist" from?
Really, tell me!

The thing though is at the time the torah was written I doubt they had even the concept of white/black etc...

KR thinks Jews =/= whites

So to him it means automatically ABOVE whites since for him Jews can't be white.

I got Jewish freinds they think of themselves as white. They look white. They have white ancestors.

You quoted from a greek translation of a hebrew text and applied its meaning out of historical context. Thats just stupid.

End of story.

But at the time frame of creation - anyone not a Jew was considerd "Other"

And, back then, people didn't switch religions and mix like that.
