You're the only person I've ever heard who has said "Mein Kampf" is
not full of hate.

Say, Bratzi, could you give me the chapter and verse where this so-
called hatred and racism is found in the Talmud?
You see, I just found this, and it seems like it might have been
written just for you!:
Some groups and individuals consider that passages in the Talmud show
that Judaism is inherently racist. In reply it is suggested that the
passages do not indicate inherent racism on the part of the Talmud
(and Judaism), but rather mistranslation, falsification, and selective
choice of quotes out of context, on the part of those making the
charges. Confusion also arises as to whether controversial ideas come
from the Holy Bible itself or originate with the Talmud.
The complexity of the Talmud contributes to misunderstanding. Written
like the transcript of a debate, the text often states propositions,
which are then knocked down during the subsequent debate. Thus many
statements in the Talmud represent ideas eventually rejected by
Rabbinic thought. Moreover, the Talmud focuses on topics one at a
time, and includes many statements within that discussion that are not
to be taken as doctrine outside of that topic.

So lay them on me, Bratzi. I strongly suspect that you can't, and that
you are merely parroting the thoughts of one of your beloved hate-
mongers, but I thought I'd ask.
