One part of the Talmud says that Jewish people can lie in times of persecution of the Jews, to protect themselves. The easy "out" is that they are always persecuted (according to them), so they can always lie.
Or they can lie if it "promotes peace", which sounds awfully similar to our government lying "in the interest of national security".
This goes right in line with what the Bible says....that when people begin to realize this, the Jews will become an "object of horror". That phrase was also used to describe the Babylonians and the Edomites, as well as the "Servant of God" in Isaiah (who has a marred face and body). There's a LOT of clues in the Bible as to the second coming, even in the Old Testament. ;)
