Attack section  I find that a lot of people refer me to the following on this issue  This is a quote not my own writting  I am sure that some of it could be valuable for clarifying exactly what is being talked about in this section as well as show why Christians get upset  Statements from the Talmud  The Talmud is considered one of the most important books of the Jewish religion It wields a great influence on Jews surpassed only by that of the Torah the work that contains the principal books of the Old Testament The Talmud contains the doctrines laws and commentaries on Judaism made by the most expressive rabbis throughout History  The following are some of the statements contained in the Talmud   The souls of Jews have the privilege of being part of God himself The souls of the other peoples of the earth come from the devil and are similar to those of animals     As they await the coming of the Messiah Jews live in a state of continuous war with the other peoples When the victory is definitive the peoples will accept the Jewish faith but it is only the Christians who will not participate in this grace On the contrary they will be completely annihilated because they descend from the devil    Only the Jews are men the other peoples are no more than types of animals The dog is worth more than the nonJews The nonJews are not only dogs but asses The souls of the nonJews come from the impure spirit and the souls of Israel come from the spirit of God   The nonJews were only created to serve the Jews day and night without deviating from their service   It is prohibited for the Jew to praise the learning or virtue of a Christian   It is not just to use mercy toward enemies    The Jews can be hypocritical with the nonJew     God granted all power over the goods and the blood of other peoples to the Jews   A nonJew who robs a Jew even should it be an alms should be killed On the contrary it is permitted for Jews to do evil to nonJews To despoil a pagan that is a nonJew is allowed    You can deceive an outsider and practice usury against him    Whoever loves a Christian would hate his own creator    Annihilate the best of the nonJews Take the life of the most honest of the idolaters   If a pagan falls into a pit we should cover the pit with a stone and try to prevent any measure that he might employ to get out When we see him fall into a river or in danger of death we should not save him Maimonides counsels giving death wounds to every nonJew when this lies within our powers It is just to exterminate every heretic that is nonJew with your own hand whoever sheds the blood of the impious offers a sacrifice to God   hose who deny the teaching of Israel particularly the followers of the Nazarene should be killed and it is always a good work to execute them if this is not possible we should try to cause their deaths But whoever kills a soul of Israel will be judged as if he had killed the entire world apud H Delassus La conjuration antichrienne vol  pp
