IsraelInsider Newsmagazine:

Meanwhile, Yishai's colleague in the ultra-Orthodox Sephardic party, former minister of labor and social affairs Shlomo Benizri, told a Haredi pirate radio station a number of weeks ago that the Jews did, in fact, kill Jesus. "According to Torah law, they decided to hang Jesus."

Benizri, who confirmed the comments yesterday, said Jesus was put to death according to Sanhedrin (ancient Jewish court) tradition, Maariv reported. "They took him up to a high roof, and threw him crashing to the ground. Afterwards they hung his body on wooden beams in the shape of a "T," but not as the Christian legends say that he was crucified. That's nonsense."

Benizri told Maariv that Jesus' death was an internal Jewish affair. "What is there to deny? We're talking about a yeshiva student who left Judaism, and the Sanhedrin put him to death."

Hahahaha! That's not even as original as the discredited swoon theory. Such foolishness only testifies that Jesus was indeed the Messiah. If he were just a man, why all the effort to discredit him?

When Abe Foxman & co. began making waves about TPOTC, my brother said it was inevitable that sooner or later someone would bring up what the Talmud said about Jesus and His followers.
