Category:Critics of Judaism[edit]

Judaism is a religion. If you want to know how criticism of Judaism works, read

  • Pablo Christiani: "denounced the Talmud, making assertions that it contained passages that were derogatory in regards to Jesus and Mary" (weak, but still a sort of criticism)
  • Uriel da Costa: "He came to believe that the rabbinic leadership was too consumed by ritualism and legalistic posturing"

Contrast this with your own quote from this article: "It airs their (Jews) dirty lying attempts to shut every Christian mouth and prevent anyone from getting a fair trial in this country" ??

You call that criticism? It's polemics. And it has no connection to Judaism the religion. This lady was just a regular simple-minded Jew-hater. No criticism involved. --Hob Gadling (talk) 00:14, 2 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I agree to the extent that this is more 'hatred of Jews' (antisemitism) than rational criticism of the religion. I could not quickly find an apt category though but thought her views on Jews were a defining characteristic. Pincrete (talk) 09:07, 2 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with Hob Gadling on this; hatred of Jews is not criticism of Judaism; nor is inventing stuff about Judaism. I don't really see where she actually criticized Judaism. Jayjg (talk) 13:49, 2 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Is there another suitable category? To not categorise her views on Jews/Judaism seems v. strange.Pincrete (talk) 14:20, 2 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I presume there is no objection to "Category:Antisemitism in the United States" - which I've just added. Pincrete (talk) 14:26, 2 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
None from me. What about Category:Antisemitic publications? She wrote two famously antisemitic books, The Octopus and The Plot against Christianity. Jayjg (talk) 15:00, 2 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
But she is not a publication. Category names in plural mean the categories are set categories. --Hob Gadling (talk) 15:36, 2 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
She's not a publication, but this article is the only one that discusses her publications. In any event, I've created a couple of redirects that should serve the purpose. Jayjg (talk) 16:48, 2 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
