THE TRIAL OF THE TALMUD

Most everyone is familiar with the 1933 book burnings in Berlin, where the German Student Union ransacked Magnus Hirschfeld's Institute of Sex Research and burned his collection of books on transgenderism, homosexuality, and gender reassignment research, along with books on communism, marxism, pornography and other degenerate jewish literature.

However, this was just the tip of the historical iceberg in terms of jewish texts being sent to the flames.

In the year 50, a Roman soldier seized a Torah scroll and, with abusive and mocking language, burned it in public.

In 168 BC the Seleucid monarch Antiochus IV ordered Jewish 'Books of the Law' found in Jerusalem to be 'rent in pieces' and burned part of the series of persecutions which precipitated the revolt of the Maccabees.

About 600 BC, Jeremiah of Anathoth wrote that the King of Babylon would destroy the land of Judah. Jeremiah's scroll was read before Jehoiakim, King of Judah, in the presence of important officials; King Jehoiakim destroyed the scroll in a fire and then sought to have Jeremiah arrested.

In 1490, a number of Hebrew Bibles and a number of other Jewish books were burned at the behest of the Spanish Inquisition.

But probably the most notable and historically significant book burning took place in 1240AD, at the court of King Louis IX of France.

The Disputation of Paris, also known as the "Trial of the Talmud," exposed the jewish text filled with blasphemous references about Jesus, Mary, and Christianity to the French court, following its translation by Nicholas Donin, a member of the Franciscan Order.

The Catholic Church had shown little interest in the Talmud until Donin presented his translation to Pope Gregory IX. The Pope was read a series of blasphemous passages and injunctions of Talmudic sages permitting Jews to kill non-Jews, deceive Christians, sleep with 3 year old girls, and detailed Jesus being sent to hell in a boiling pit of hot excrement and semen for all eternity.

This revelation resulted in synogogues being ransacked, 10,000 hebrew manuscripts sent to the flames, and the expulsion of the jews from France.

Furthermore, this was just one more documented attempt by those in the past who tried to prevent a future that we are currently experiencing in the present.
