Talmudic Doctrine: Non-Jews are not Human

The Talmud specifically defines all who are not Jews as non-human animals, and specifically dehumanizes Gentiles as not being descendants of Adam. Here are some of the Talmud passages which relate to this topic.

Kerithoth 6b: Uses of Oil of Anointing. "Our Rabbis have taught: He who pours the oil of anointing over cattle or vessels is not guilty; if over gentiles (goyim) or the dead, he is not guilty. The law relating to cattle and vessels is right, for it is written: "Upon the flesh of man (Adam), shall it not be poured (Exodus 30:32]); and cattle and vessels are not man (Adam).

"Also with regard to the dead, [it is plausible] that he is exempt, since after death one is called corpse and not a man (Adam). But why is one exempt in the case of gentiles (goyim); are they not in the category of man (Adam)? No, it is written: 'And ye my sheep, the sheep of my pasture, are man" (Adam); [Ezekiel 34:31]: Ye are called man (Adam) but gentiles (goyim) are not called man (Adam)."

In the preceding passage, the rabbis are discussing the portion of the Mosaic law which forbids applying the holy oil to men.

The Talmud states that it is not a sin to apply the holy oil to Gentiles, because Gentiles are not human beings (i.e. are not of Adam).

Another example from tractate Yebamoth 61a: "It was taught: And so did R. Simeon ben Yohai state (61a) that the graves of gentiles (goyim) do not impart levitical uncleanness by an ohel [standing or bending over a grave], for it is said, 'And ye my sheep the sheep of my pasture, are men (Adam), [Ezekiel 34:31]; you are called men (Adam) but the idolaters are not called men (Adam)."

The Old Testament Mosaic law states that touching a human corpse or the grave of a human imparts uncleanness to those who touch it. But the Talmud teaches that if a Jew touches the grave of a Gentile, the Jew is not rendered unclean, since Gentiles are not human (not of Adam).

From Baba Mezia 114b: ""A Jewish priest was standing in a graveyard. When asked why he was standing there in apparent violation of the Mosaic law, he replied that it was permissible, since the law only prohibits Jews from coming into contact with the graves of humans (Adamites), and he was standing in a gentile graveyard. For it has been taught by Rabbi Simon ben Yohai: 'The graves of gentiles [goyim] do not defile. For it is written, 'And ye my flock, the flock of my pastures, are men (Adam)' (Ezekiel 34:31); only ye are designated men (Adam)."

Ezekiel 34:31 is the alleged Biblical proof text repeatedly cited in the preceding three Talmud passages. But Ezekiel 34:31 does not in fact support the Talmudic notion that only Israelites are human. What these rabbinical, anti-Gentile racists and ideologues have done in asserting the preceding absurdities about Gentiles is distort an Old Testament passage in order to justify their bigotry.

In Berakoth 58a the Talmud uses Ezekiel 23:20 as proof of the sub-human status of gentiles. It also teaches that anyone (even a Jewish man) who reveals this Talmudic teaching about non-Jews deserves death, since revealing it makes Gentiles wrathful and causes the repression of Judaism.

The Talmudic citation of this scripture from Ezekiel as a "proof-text" is specious, since the passage does not prove that Gentiles are animals. The passage from Ezekiel only says that some Egyptians had large genital organs and copious emissions. This does not in any way prove or even connote that the Egyptians being referred to in the Bible were considered animals. Once again, the Talmud has falsified the Bible by means of distorted interpretation.

Other Talmud passages which expound on Ezekiel 23:20 in this racist fashion are: Arakin 19b, Berakoth 25b, Niddah 45a, Shabbath 150a, Yebamoth 98a. Moreover, the original text of Sanhedrin 37a applies God's approval only to the saving of Jewish lives (cf. the Hesronot Ha-shas, Cracow, 1894).

No the Jews do not believe that Gentiles are not human.. Do you know the percentage of Jews that do not even believe the Torah?? Most simply do not believe it.. Also the Talmud is simply mans explanation of the Torah.. There are certain people that believe that Gentiles do not go to heaven or hell.. In other words they dont have an eternal soul... But what does it matter.. most agnostics would believe the same thing... We are all animals... But you are definitely not the first person to try to dig up some reason to hate Jews.. People have been doing it for a loooong time... Good luck with the whole hatred thing.. Shalom!

The word for black or dark brown "Adam" or "earth colored" was particularly noticeable among the ancient Hebrews. The Gentiles were "Laban" not considered seed of covenant. They were particularly noticeable because of their lack of melanin. In those days, when anyone had no melanin, they were considered leprous. Hence prior to many Greeks and Romans being seen around Jerusalem, in much earlier times, you would find the gentiles either called leprous--used for white in colour. In ancient times, the Hebrews were the covenant seed of 12 tribes who lived in Egypt for hundreds of years. Joseph married an Egyptian also.

When Moses appeared before Pharaoh, the sign that he was sent from God was that his skin would turn leprous and that it would turn back black afterwards. It is only in Isaiah we see that one sign of the coming of the Messiah is that Gentiles would be "adopted". In Ezekiel 8:3, Ezekiel described his hair as having locks. Jeremiah described his skin as black as an oven in Lamentations 5:10 and in Jeremiah 8:21, he says " I am black."
Be careful where you are going with this. Some Muslims have used these scriptures to say that the Hebrews thal lived in Poland and Germany, those that intermarried with Europeans and lost their melanin are a "mongrel" breed and that is why they are in league with the infidels of the Occident. In the Torah, in Isaiah 11:10 it spake of a time when the root of Jesse would bear a Branch--in the Hebrew text Jeshua's name is coded and through Him the Gentiles would be included in His covenant.

The Nation of Islam in America used those same texts to teach that the Gentiles were a result of a leprous condition--that is why supposedly they became white.

Well it may be true that the talmud teaches that, and I am sure that you are accurate, howver the talmud is not like the Bible, it is not considered inerrant. Talmud is really discussion of Torah and different points of view are expressed. You have simply stated one view. That is why the Jews were so taken back by Jesus, because "he spoke as one havng authority."
Thanks for the lesson on talmud though. I hadn't seen that before. (I am not Jewish, but have studied Jewish history and laws at university)
