<p>“OH? Pizzagirl, I think you are relying on hearsay or rumors.
Where exactly in the Torah does it say kill anyone that isn’t Jewish today and kill anyone that doesn’t convert or kill anyone who stops being Jewish?”</p>
<p>Uh, I don’t think so. Traditional halacha is quite discriminatory towards non-Jews.
There are Talmudic / rabbinic debates over such topics as whether to return lost property to a non-Jew, whether there should be different legal penalties for harm committed to a Jew’s property vs a non-Jew’s property, and even whether it would be acceptable to desecrate the Sabbath to save the life of a non-Jew (e.g., someone drowning or in a burning building). </p>
<p>Fundamentalist readings of most texts – whether Christianity, Judaism or Islam – are pretty horrific, but it’s nonsense to hold them up and say “See? That’s how they believe today.” Because the majority don’t.</p>
