Will the IHRA make antisemites out of Jews, Prophets, and God? (Part 4)
(This is the continuation of last issue’s article of the same title.)
In the previous articles, we tackled the following examples of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance’s working definition of antisemitism (IHRA WDA from now on).
Part 1
• Calling for, aiding, or justifying the killing or harming of Jews in the name of a radical ideology or an extremist view of religion.
• Accusing Jews as a people of being responsible for real or imagined wrongdoing committed by a single Jewish person or group, or even for acts committed by non-Jews.
• Holding Jews collectively responsible for actions of the state of Israel.
Part 2
• Making mendacious, dehumanizing, demonizing, or stereotypical allegations about Jews as such or the power of Jews as a collective — such as, especially but not exclusively, the myth about a world Jewish conspiracy or of Jews controlling the media, economy, government, or other societal institutions.
Part 3
• Drawing comparisons of contemporary Israeli policy to that of the Nazis.
In this current part 4, we will start by exploring another IHRA WDA example that would once more condemn the Scriptures of the Bible (Torah and Gospel) and the multi-volume tracts of the Talmud:
“Using the symbols and images associated with classic antisemitism (e.g., claims of Jews killing Jesus or blood libel) to characterize Israel or Israelis.”[1]
According to the definition by the American Jewish Committee, blood libel is:
“perpetuated accusation that Jews have murdered non-Jews (such as Christian children) in order to use their blood in rituals” [2]
It is noteworthy that according to the Bible, not only did the (so-called) Jews seek to kill Jesus,[3] but they attempted to do so during their Passover[4] by using the Romans to do their bidding.[5]

Jesus was not a Jew. Judaism is a 3,000-year-old religion according to Rabbi Yisroel Dovid Weiss, in his interview on Al-Jazeera.[6] Well, Jesus stated clearly to the Jews, in John 8:58 that
“… Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.”
Therefore, Jesus’ statement and his complete submission to do the Will of God make him a Muslim.
If we look at the Talmud now, we can, according to the WDA, accuse the writers of the tractate Sanhedrin of being “antisemites,” as well as those who follow the Talmud. How so?
Sanhedrin is a section or chapter of the Talmud. According to Michael Levi Rodkinson, who is known for being the first to have translated the Babylonian Talmud into English, “The modern Jew is the product of the Talmud…” [7] If we look at Sanhedrin 43a, it reads,
“AND A HERALD PRECEDES HIM etc. This implies, only immediately before [the execution], but not previous thereto. [In contradiction to this] it was taught: On the eve of the Passover Yeshu* was hanged. For forty days before the execution took place, a herald went forth and cried, ‘He is going forth to be stoned because he has practised sorcery and enticed Israel to apostacy. Any one who can say anything in his favour, let him come forward and plead on his behalf.’ But since nothing was brought forward in his favour he was hanged on the eve of the Passover!”
(Brackets in the original hardcopy Soncino edition of the Babylonian Talmud. Emphasis ours.)
Interestingly enough, in the passage just quoted, there is a footnote next to “Yeshu” (or Jesus). The footnote mentions, *Ms. M. [Munich Manuscript] adds ‘the Nazarean’. [8] Nazarean means “from Nazareth” or “of Nazareth”. The Jewish Encyclopedia also confirms the Sanhedrin version in its section “Trial and Death of Jesus.” It states:
“He was executed on the eve of the Passover festival, which was also the eve of the Sabbath. The executioners were not able to hang him upon a tree, for he had conjured all trees, by means of the name of God, not to receive him, and therefore they all broke; he was finally received by a large cabbagestalk (comp. Targ. Sheni to Esth. vii. 9). He was buried on the same day, in conformity with the Law, and the apostates, his disciples, wept at his tomb.”[9]
Interestingly enough, Acts 5:30 confirms the Jewish Encyclopedia’s version of Jesus’ death. It states:
The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew and hanged on a tree.
To understand why there seems to be a contradiction between Matthew, Mark, Luke, John’s description of Jesus’ (apparent) death and the one reported in Acts, one needs to watch The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan’s lecture titled The 4 Jesuses in which we learn that “Jesus” is a name that stands for more than just the holy Prophet of 2,000 years ago.
The Jewish Encyclopedia and Sanhedrin 43a give us an indication of first-hand involvement in the (attempted) murder of Yeshu (or Jesus). The New Testament blames the Romans (John 19:23) for the crucifixion of Jesus and the provocation of his (apparent) death. Therefore, based on the Scriptures in the New Testament, (so-called) Jews and others claim that they (the so-called Jews) did not kill Jesus—the Romans did. They must certainly base their fallacious logic in Sanhedrin 77a . Here is an example of the absurdity:
“Raba said: If one bound his neighbour and he died of starvation, he is not liable to execution. Raba also said: If he bound him in the sun, and he died, or in a place of intense cold and he died, he is liable; but if the sun was yet to appear, or the cold to make itself felt, he is not.”[10]
The reader certainly can see the absurdity of not being liable to execution if one only waits for the sun not to be risen to leave someone bound to die. In that same distorted logic, some Jews claim not having responsibility for Jesus’ apparent death,[11] despite the conspiracy and insistence to the ruling authority of the need for Jesus’ execution.
As the reader can see, regardless of what some Jews may say about Jesus’ (apparent) death, both the Talmud and the Bible confirm either their first-hand involvement or at least the driving force to have Jesus crucified.
Therefore, the Talmud and the Bible’s authors and practitioners can be labeled as antisemitic by the IHRA WDA.
This is to demonstrate how the IHRA WDA is clearly incongruous and unusable. Basically, everyone is an antisemite if the IHRA WDA is put into practice. But the point the reader should know is that those who fabricated that definition are the accusers and judges; therefore, the IHRA WDA is simply a weapon—a pure tool for censorship.
With the clear genocide happening in Palestine at Gaza, as confirmed by The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan at the Keynote Address of Saviours’ Day 2024, on February the 25th, it is obvious that the Synagogue of Satan wants to censor, destroy, and even kill whoever exposes it and its members. Satan’s prime target is The Minister. As the Holy Qur’an informs us in Sura 4, verse 157,
“And for their saying: We have killed the Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, the messenger of Allah, and they did not kill him, nor did they cause his death on the cross, but he was made to appear to them as such. And certainly those who differ concerning it are in doubt about it. They have no knowledge about it, but only follow a conjecture, and they did not kill him for certain”; [12]
The so-called Jews will not prevail in killing The Minister.
To be continued Insha’Allah (God Willing)…
