List of commonly mentioned alleged quotations from the Talmud

From the Middle Ages to Nazi Germany a number of books have been published attacking Judaism by criticising the Talmud, purporting to show that the Talmud promotes immoral practices, attacks Christianity and regards non-Jews as lesser beings. These books often contain lists of purported quotations from the Talmud. More recently, collections of shocking purported quotes from the Talmud have circulated widely on the Internet, often taken directly from the Nazi publications, particularly Unmoral im Talmud ('Immorality in the Talmud') by Nazi Alfred Rosenberg.

Some of these quotes are genuine (the Talmud dates from the Dark Ages), some have been taken out of context in a way that changes their meaning and many are outright fakes.

Reference	Claimed quotation		Actual text	Notes
Abodah Zarah 36b	Goyim girls are in a state of filth from birth	Mistranslation of 'niddah'	They decreed upon [the Gentiles'] daughters that they should be classified as niddah [ritually impure, like a menstruating woman] from the time they are in their cradle.	Basically, it's saying that a Jewish man is not supposed to marry a Gentile woman. This is one of 'the eighteen matters decreed in a single day in the days of the students of Shammai and Hillel', and the passage is a long argument about whether they are or are not valid.
Baba Kamma 113a	Jews should use lies to circumvent a Goy	Partly true	Rabbi Ḥanina bar Kahana said that Shmuel says: The mishna in Nedarim issues its ruling with regard to a customs collector who does not have a limitation placed on the amount he may collect. Alternatively, the Sages of the school of Rabbi Yannai say: The mishna issues its ruling with regard to a customs collector who stands on his own [i.e. a racketeer acting without legal authority]. Rav Ashi said: The mishna issues its ruling with regard to a gentile customs collector, whom one may deceive [...] This is [also] the statement of Rabbi Yishmael.	Several rabbis are giving different suggestions about how a mishnaic statement that Jews can lie to 'murderers, plunderers, and customs collectors' to protect themselves and their property can be squared with another directive to honour the law of the kingdom you are in. Another rabbi objects to Ashi's explanation and cites Leviticus 25:50 to back up the idea that it is illegal to defraud a Gentile.
Baba Mezia 24a	If a Jew finds an object lost by a Goy, it does not have to be return.	True	Not a direct quote. Discusses when a Jew needs to report lost property as per Deuteronomy 22:3 and when it is 'finders keepers', and indicates that this applies only if the property is likely to belong to a fellow Jew.
Baba Mezia 114b	Goyim are not human, they are beast meant to serve the Jew	Misleading	Not a direct quote. Argues that a priest does not incur ritual impurity by standing next to a Gentile's grave (as he would by standing next to a Jew's grave, Numbers 19:14) because the specific word used for 'man' in Numbers 19:14 does not apply to Gentiles, justifying this by a convoluted interpretation of Ezekiel 34:31.	No mention of them being beasts or serving the Jews.
Sanhedrin 54a & b	if a goy hits a Jew he must be killed. If a Jew murders a goy, there will be no penalty	Non-existent		There's nothing in Sanhedrin 54a or b about anybody hitting or murdering anybody.
Soferim 15	Even the best of Goyim should all be killed	Partly true	R. Simeon b. Yoḥai taught: Kill the best of the heathens in time of war; crush the brain of the best of serpents. The most worthy of women indulges in witchcraft. Happy is he who does the will of the Omnipresent.	Rabbi Shimon ben Yochai is noted for his unusually hostile views about Gentiles. Some Jewish commentators ascribe this to his own experiences - his teacher was tortured to death, ben Yochai himself becoming a fugitive after speaking out against Roman oppression. Soferim is not one of the 63 tractates of the Talmud.
Tospoth Jabamoth 84b	Eating with a Goy is the same as eating with a dog	Non-existent		This might be a misspelling of 'Yevamot' or 'Tosefta Yevamot', but both books are about family law and don't mention dogs.
Yebamoth 98a	All children of goyim are animals	Misleading	Not a direct quote. Claims bizarrely that it's legal for a convert to Judaism to marry his brother's ex-wife (which would be illegal for somebody who was born Jewish) because Gentiles aren't legally their fathers' children any more than animals are.
