Bodian’s course ought to be entitled “Modern Jewish Propaganda: Accusation of anti-semitism for socio-political control”. Though some Western heterodox phenomenon in Western Europe does fit the bill of anti-semitism (e.g. the Judan Sow), she essentially argues for Christianity as distortion of Jewish monotheism. [[Christian_Apologetics#Alfred_Edersheim|Alfred Edersheim]] by way of much greater historical depth and inspired interpretation shows otherwise. Bodian effectively claims that Christian teaching justifies abuse of Jews, that Christianity is systemic anti-semitism, with the next obvious step being to outlaw and banish Christianity from the face of the earth. <br> | Bodian’s course ought to be entitled “Modern Jewish Propaganda: Accusation of anti-semitism for socio-political control”.

Bodian ignores all intemperate and indelicate accusations of Jewish Rabbis (sage Scribes and Pharisees, “lawyers”) against Christians over the centuries as recorded in their Talmud, preferring instead to play pot to kettle black. What she doesn’t understand is that anti-semitism, like any form of racial or other hatred, is not Christian, but anti-christian, the sinful product of temptation of humans by the Evil One and his minions, regardless from whom such sin originates. Neither does Bodian acknowledge that all modern human rights are legacy of Christian upholding of all humanity as created in the image and likeness of God, and therefore deserving of respect and humane treatment, as expounded in the first book of the Jewish Pentateuch.<br> | Bodian ignores all intemperate and indelicate accusations of Jewish Rabbis (sage Scribes and Pharisees, “lawyers”) against Christians over the centuries as recorded in their Talmud, preferring instead to play pot to kettle black.

There instead is found that all non-Jewish gentiles are subhuman, “cattle” (dumb beasts) and therefore not deserving of equal respect and treatment required for Jews. In short and in keeping with historical Talmudic Rabbinism, Bodian doesn’t acknowledge that Jews are part of humanity, all of which (including Jews) have ”sinned” (fallen out from comm-union with God, the One and only as revealed through Abraham and all other patriarchs and prophets of the Jews).<br> | ||
