“Anti-Semitism” Disclaimers for the New Testament

Jews Want To Add Trigger Warnings To The Bible and Koran

Jewish leaders are calling for new editions of the Bible and Koran to carry warning messages which highlight anti-Semitic passages in the holy texts.

The recommendations have been made in a new document called ‘An End to Antisemitism! A Catalogue of Policies to Combat Antisemitism’.
It was produced following an international conference organised by the European Jewish Congress, at which academics gathered to discuss how prejudice and discrimination can be tackled.
Among the policies mentioned in the document was the idea of warning messages in holy texts, a topic discussed in a chapter entitled ‘recommendations regarding Religious Groups and Institutions’.

Translations of the New Testament, the Qur’an and other Christian or Muslim literatures need marginal glosses, and introductions that emphasize continuity with Jewish heritage of both Christianity and Islam and warn readers about antisemitic passages in them.

Do they mean something like this?

Matthew 15:26 (KJV) But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast [it] to dogs.

 

[Alcott]

Are they calling for expurgated Torah and prophetic books? Anti-Egypt, anti-Canaanite, anti-Persian, anti-Philistine [Palestinian]...?

Do they mean something like this?

Matthew 15:26 (KJV) But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast [it] to dogs.

No. Dog is in reference to the non-Jew in the context. Here are a few examples.

I wonder if the Jews have any intention of cleaning up their Talmud. It reeks with hate for non-Jews.

 

[HankD]

Hate is universal and diverse.

I remember one of my first jobs as a married man being called a "blue eyed devil" by a co-worker.
Yes, I have blue eyes.
His hate was obvious.

 

[kyredneck]

His hate was obvious.

He probably had 'green eyes', right? IMO jealousy is the root of most hate.

 

[kyredneck]

Philistine [Palestinian]

Two totally different entities. Palestinians DNA is identical to Jews DNA.

 

[HankD]

He probably had 'green eyes', right? IMO jealousy is the root of most hate.

I get it.

Yes, I suppose.

 

[Yeshua1]

Do they mean something like this?

Matthew 15:26 (KJV) But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast [it] to dogs.

Probably in Gospel of John, when the terminology Jesus used on the Pharisees and scribes might be viewed by them as being anti sematic, but he was blasting their religious jews, not all of them!

 

[kyredneck]

religious jews, not all of them

25 And all the people answered and said, His blood be on us, and on our children. Mt 27

Never mind the Jews' calling gentiles "dogs"?

 

[Yeshua1]

Never mind the Jews' calling gentiles "dogs"?

Jesus Himself stated that, but think was a phrase of speech!

 

[Yeshua1]

25 And all the people answered and said, His blood be on us, and on our children. Mt 27

All the people that were their, but not all of the nation was assembled together on that day!

Yes, Jews called gentiles dogs as a phrase of speech.
