In November 2016, the British newspaper Independent reported that many accused American pedophiles have fled to Israel, taking advantage of the Law of Return, which grants automatic citizenship to Jewish individuals and their families, with minimal barriers. While criminal background checks exist, offenders can bypass these requirements in various ways, allowing them to evade justice. And in August 2020, the Israeli newspaper Jerusalem Post reported that the Matzof Association, which monitors pedophilia in Israel, estimates that tens of thousands of offenders operate each year, affecting around 100,000 victims annually. In July 2020 alone, 22 pedophilia cases in Israel were reported to the media.
Is pedophilia tolerated among the Jews? Let's look at what the Talmud says. The Talmud is the central text of Judaism and the main source of Jewish religious law (halakha) and Jewish theology.
The Talmud:
- Sex with girls under 3 years old
Ketubot 11b:6, “An adult man who engaged in intercourse with a minor girl less than three years old has done nothing.” Judaism teaches that Jews can have sex with girls less than three years old. In the eyes of the rabbis who wrote the Talmud, and the Jews who adhere to it, this is not considered an offense at all. Instead, it’s an acceptable practice to partake of.
- Gay sex with boys under 9 years old
Sanhedrin 54b:21, “…if a child who is less than nine years old engages in homosexual intercourse passively, the one who engages in intercourse with him is not liable.” Not only are Jews allowed to have sex with very young girls, but they can have homosexual sex with boys less than nine years old. In the Talmud, homosexual sex is usually prohibited. However, in the case of little boys, Jews make an exception, as they are not grown “men,” (Sanhedrin 55a:1).

These are the exact same people who try to get you arrested over drawn child porn or execute you for playing music under the premise of hedonism while they keep entire harems of 10 year old boys.
