He is misquoting the passage, as do many. It's Gittin 57a, and the person spoken about is named Yeshu, not Yeshua. The word "Nazarene" does not even appear in the original Hebrew, indicating that any translation which reads "Jesus the Nazarene" is all wrong.
Yet even if there is one passage among the tens of thousands that attacks Jesus, by what authority does anyone attack all the Jews or the state of Israel and make them accountable for that?
Should all Christians be condemned because of some of Martin Luther's later ramblings about the Jews? That would be unjust. Should we condemn the Americans of today for the evils of slavery two hundred years ago? Of course not.
Furthermore, most Israelis probably don't even know — or care — about that passage. Rabbis teaching in Israeli universities have affirmed that the Talmud is not inspired Scripture on the same plane as God's Word, both Old and New Testaments.
Instead of empty Jew-Hatred, how about reading the Bible and taking God at His Word?
Christ is not just King, but King of Kings!
