Being asked to look up one hoax about Jews, my files reveal many more. The fact that there's been a long pattern of circulating false stories about Jews with racial implications (probably more so than other races), and that demonstrations of their falsity create sympathy for the Jews by contrast, suggests that there are two paths taken by opponents of truth, circulating a bald lie about a perceived enemy, and circulating a bald lie that one's enemy circulates bald lies. A simple dedication to truth defeats both, even if enemies are undifferentiated. Consider this theme as evidence is reviewed just from Scored presentations that I looked into and, in all these cases, found they needed debunking.

1. Bible misquotes: Too many to review here. The Bible speaks for itself and can be appealed to whenever someone doesn't take it in the grammaticohistorical sense its authors intended. However, this category should be mentioned first simply because there are frequent narratives around what the Bible says in context that it flatly doesn't say. Most notably, it says the synagogue of satan is not composed of Jews, but is quoted as if saying the opposite (that's worth its own post). Nor does it apply negative titles to the Jews as a whole, but applies a number of positive titles of the Jews.

2. Talmud misquotes: Too many to review here. Nicholas Donin converted from Judaism to Catholicism in the 13th century and got the ball rolling with exposing Christianity to the Talmud without the benefit of their understanding the context. This led to a continuing notion that the Talmud was blasphemous (for instance, it does contain one dirty joke that uses a nickname that might apply to Jesus, which was misquoted here about 20 times). This peaked in 19th-century Germany where several authors attempted to quote Jewish sources as being despicable, when the quotations themselves were so poorly translated and sourced that they are often unrecognizable to Jews. This telephone game continues today. One misquote kept getting rephrased to sound more evil about "power over" "blood", except its ultimate origin was merely the Christian-accepted verse Ps. 105:44!

3. Foreknowledge of 6 million deaths: Renegade Tribune: "An ancient Jewish prophecy had promised the Jews their return to the Promised Land after a loss of 6 million of their people. According to the book Breaking the Spell by Nicholas Kollerstrom, publications and speakers had referred to the death or persecution of 6 million Jews on at least 166 occasions before the end of World War II." That claim is false. The first sentence is sourced from Benjamin Blech, The Secret of Hebrew Words, but what Blech actually says is that "tashuvu", the word translated as the last "ye shall return" in Lev. 25:10, is a variant spelling lacking a central waw. After 1948 it was noticed that the gematria for this word, 708, corresponds in this millennium to the year 1947-1948, and that the missing waw, 6, corresponds to a missing 6 million. This is not a prophecy that promised anything, this is a mathematical synchrony found after the fact that is not specific enough to give the detail stated in advance to anyone. Secondly, the cherry-picking of text searches prior to 1945 for "six million" and "Jews" together cannot be used to indicate foreknowledge of the Holocaust death toll. Analysis shows that six million was arbitrarily selected whether it meant: an estimate of Bar Kochba deaths; the total world Jewish population; the Russian Jewish population; the Russian Jewish family count; the European Jewish population; the Jewish population represented at a global conference; or the dollar size of a Jewish fund (yes, reference to the Jews in proximity with six million dollars was included as proof of foreknowledge). Germar Rudolf in the intro to Don Heddesheimer's First Holocaust gives actual results of searches for millions of Jews from 1 to 7 and the data show that "three million" is the most common number cited, despite Rudolf backpedaling by treating the data differently even though the generic nature of the data remains constant.

4. Star of Remphan: Many sources propose the star of Remphan is the hexagram or star of David. That claim is false. There were no hexagrams for another 250 years in that region after the term "star of Remphan" was reported, but those words translate a text from Amos 750 years earlier that calls it the star of gods like Chiun (Saturn). This indicates Remphan simply means Rephaim (Titans, sons of Saturn); and the star in question, given Amos's context, is most likely the spirit associated with the bronze serpent Nehushtan that had become an idol. Therefore the star of David cannot be called the unique star of Remphan. However, because of its recent association it may be considered one of many stars of Remphan of varying historical quality, including the T-and-O symbol, the pentagram, and most notably the poled snake incorporated in logos and in the modern dollar sign.

5. 1,030 Jewish expulsions: An anon with the handle of 'Lord Molyneaux' (including the apostrophes) published the samizdat The Complete List of the One Thousand and Thirty Jewish Expulsions in Human History. This is a misleading claim, and perhaps intentionally so, because after this bold analytical title he immediately backpedals in the first expulsion, "This first entry may in fact need to be omitted due to the fact that it is largely mythological." I wouldn't be surprised if there weren't 1,030 after all. #2 and #3 are the same captivity, the partial and the full wave in Assyria; #5 under Haman wasn't carried out at all and wasn't because of Jewish criminality. If we compared this to expulsions of Roma people or Christians, or compared it to the national curses of Amos 1-2, there'd be nothing special about the list. It also has several severe methodology problems. The author engaged many hours of research in a poorly conceived project that led to an excessively ineffective data set. On many pages the same action in ten cities described by one source was counted as ten expulsions (yet some other actions in many cities were counted as single expulsions for lack of lists). The author must not have liked the Holocaust, because he felt he had to include it but said nothing more about it than the generic "Jewish expulsion" description he used a hundred times. The work sure doesn't lead to the conclusion that racism is right, that the Jews have been justly judged en masse by a competent formal authority, or that these selective windows in history prove a conclusion beyond the Jews getting in trouble a whole lot with no control comparison.

6. Edom is Jewry: "Esau-Edom is modern Jewry" is said to be found in The Jewish Encyclopedia, vol. 5, p. 41. That claim is false. The image of this page is public and does not contain this text. The closest to the alleged quote is the historically accurate statement, "The Edomites ... by John Hyrcanus ... were then incorporated with the Jewish nation," far different from that claimed. It appears that the version above is a corruption of vol. 5, p. 208, which says, "'Esau' (=Edom) later represents Rome." I saw intermediate links suggesting that this short form evolved into the form allegedly quoted, via the unproven idea that Rome is controlled by modern Jewry; and this original stylizing explains the oddity of phrasing when punctuation is simplified.

7. Baruch Levy: La Revue de Paris (June 1, 1928) stated that it had obtained an 1879 letter to Karl Marx from someone named "Baruch Levy", a "Neo-Messianist" who was quoted as saying that the Jewish people would attain world dominion by a detailed plan. That claim is unsupported. No other evidence indicates that someone of this description ever existed, and the article is completely consistent with fabrication of an identity to propagate an idealistic narrative. To be sure, the devil does have a plan to attain world dominion through whomever he can use of any race, and that plan is being carried out along the same lines as the alleged letter, but that is not related to race but to the career of the devil as Biblically described; so, no, the system is not intrinsic to a particular people.

8. Rabbi Reichorn: A quote from "Rabbi Reichorn" at a funeral of "Grand Rabbi Simeon Ben-Iudah", allegedly 1869, states, "We have forced the Christians into wars without number." That is a fiction. Tracking this one is interesting, but it ultimately arises from a fictional novel, Biarritz by Hermann Goedsche (pen name John Retcliffe), 1868. Goedsche novelizes the idea of Jewish representatives meeting secretly in the Prague cemetery in 1860. The text appears in The Jew in the Modern World, 1995, and includes the reference to the tomb of "Grand ... rabbi Simeon ben Jehuda" and the concept, "how to turn to the advantage of our cause the great errors and sins which our enemies the Christians never cease to commit." This was echoed and modified by French periodicals Le Contemporain (1880) and then La Vieille France (1920-1921) until it reached the "Reichorn" form. (Some versions say Emanuel Reichhorn was chief rabbi of France, which is also untrue). So, no, this claim arises from an exaggerated novel, even though the satanic plans are relatively accurately stated.

9. Schneersohn in Slavyanin: A long article (meme-quoted), apparently from the obscure Russian "newspaper" Slavyanin in 2001 but not citable until a 2014 blog, has Rabbi Schneersohn saying Khazaria is Israel. This appears to be a minor tabloid that was found running "anti-Semitist" articles generally but with little evidence of its existence online. The meme is identical to the 2014 translation except for minor grammar; it appears to be an uncritical cite of publishers with no journalistic duty to accurately quote the dead. The source states that it quotes a letter published 2001, though Schneersohn died in 1994, indicating the problem. The text is prefaced with a note that despite authenticity debate it's indisputable that the goals described are accurate (implying that the concepts are more important than the veracity of the source). The Slavyanin editor and sometime city duma candidate, Vladimir F. Popov, was tried for incitement, and the paper was shut down as uncharted in early 2002.

10. Abe Finkelstein: The tale of a particular unfindable "Abraham 'Abe' Finkelstein" (though it's the birth name of singer Arthur Fields) comes from a 2006 "interview" by James Wickstrom, who was also jailed for a year for making up invalid titles for himself and others. Wickstrom and the guest never elaborate beyond "Abe" having a synagogue somewhere in New York, which has zero independent evidence. Early in the transcript is, "'I have a guest by the name Rabbi Abe Finkelstein .... You are a lying Jew.' 'Eh, you could say that, but even when we lie we tell the truth!'" Later the guest adds, "Remember, there has never been a Jew in the history of the world that ever told a lie. We always tell the truth." These two indicate the "guest" knows he's deliberately lying, consistent with Wickstrom's MO, and with deceptive nominal "disclosure" of the lie. Some errors: The alleged "rabbi" quotes include both "A good goyim" (four times), "The goyim does all the work, the goyim makes all the stuff", "There is a goyim", and "They are good-and-paid-for shabbos goy .... The rest of them are good bought-and-paid-for shabbos goy", showing that he knows both singular and plural but uses them both wrong (often in place of each other). Wickstrom also uses goyim as a singular, indicating the same error. The "rabbi" also doesn't know the word "sheqalim" and always says "shekels". The quote "We've been doing this for thousands and thousands of years, since down to Adam's time" kind of implicates thousands of years of Gentile involvement in the child sacrifice before Judah, namesake of the Jews, came along in 1797 BC. Someone intending to speak historically might have said Abraham's time. The guest says (perhaps sarcastically) Episcopalian Charlton Heston was Jewish, but the Jerusalem Post obituary rejected this. In the 17th minute the rabbi says, "Oh, Silverman, who's a good friend of mine there, Larry, he got a twofer," referring to Larry Silverstein. Yet he knows enough to paraphrase Silverstein as saying "They pulled the plug, and pulled it as they say, and so the buildings came down." A paid actor is the explanation best fitting the evidence.

11. 109 countries: Another circulating meme says Jews were expelled from 109 countries, but there is no such list; a probable origin of "109" lists 108 expulsions on 109 rows, with many admitted duplicate countries or regions. Its ultimate source, Anti-Semitism (Grosser and Halperin, 1979 ed.) lists only 81 expulsions pp. 35-38 (from 250 to 1948). If we merely said that, it'd be accurate, and comparable to persecution of Christians, Roma, or Muslims; as is, "109" now has taken on a life of its own as a false gospel.

Who does not pursue truth and accuracy pursues the work of the enemy, by wit or not.
