“God created them in the form of men for the glory of Israel. But Akum
[Gentiles] were created for the sole end of ministering unto them [the
Jews] day and night. Nor can they ever be relieved from this service.
It is becoming to the son of a king [an Israelite] that animals in
their natural form and animals in the form of human beings should
minister unto him.” (Talmudic treatise Midrasch Talpioth Folio 225a)

“The sexual intercourse of a Goy is like to that of a
beast.” (Sanhedrin 74b Tosephoth)
“The seed of a Goy is worth the same of that of a beast.” (Kethoboth
36)
“Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field, etc.
(Gen. III.1) ‘more subtle,’ that is toward evil; ‘than all the beasts’
that is, the idolatrous people of the earth. For they are the children
of the ancient serpent which seduced Eve.” (Zohar I, 28b)
"'Living soul' designates Israel because they are children to the
Almighty, and their souls, which are holy, come from Him. From whence,
then, come the souls of other people? R. Eliezer said: ‘They obtained
souls from those sides of the left which convey impurity, and
therefore they are all impure and defile all those who have contact
with them.” AND THE LORD SAID, LET THE EARTH BRING FORTH LIVING SOUL,
ETC. “This includes all the other animals (except man), each after its
kind. R. Eliezer said: ‘The repetition of the word “after its kind”
confirms what we have said before, that “living soul” refers to Israel
who have holy living souls from above and “cattle and creeping thing
and beast of the earth” are the other peoples who are not “living
soul” but who are as we have said.’" (Zohar, Bereshith 47a) [2]
"And the Lord God formed man. 'Man' here refers to Israel whom God
shaped at that time for both this world and for the next world." (I,
Bereshith 26a)… "'Living soul' refers to Israel who have holy living
souls from above and 'cattle and creeping thing and beast of the
earth' to the other peoples who are not 'living soul'…." (I, Bereshith
47a) [3]
“The Nokhrim [Gentiles] are not rendered unclean by a burial, for it
is said: Ye are my sheep, the sheep of my pasture; ye are men. You are
thus called men but not the Nokhrim.” (Talmud, Yebamoth 61a)
The Talmud, Chagigah 15b says that a Jew, despite the sins he may
commit, is nevertheless always good—just as the dirt on a nut only
contaminates the shell while the kernel remains pure. Thus, Gentiles,
as Rabbi Yosef contends, as “animals which have the form of men,”
exist to serve the exalted Jew. Babba Bathra 54b says “all things
pertaining to the Goyim are like a desert; the first person [Jew] to
come along and take them can claim them as his own.”
Just as a livestock owner has the right to slaughter his animals, so
the Talmud decrees to Jews the right to kill Gentiles. Agreeing with
Rabbi Yosef that Gentiles are donkeys, "The ass means non-Jew, who is
to be redeemed by the offering of a lamb, which is the dispersed sheep
of Israel. But if he refuses to be redeemed, then break his skull…They
should be taken out of the book of the living…" (Zohar II, 43a) "Happy
will be the lot of Israel, whom the Holy One, blessed be He, has
chosen from amongst the goyim of whom the Scriptures say: 'Their work
is vanity, it is an illusion at which we must laugh: they will perish
when God visits them in His wrath.' At the moment when the Holy One,
blessed be He, will exterminate all the Goyim of the world, Israel
alone will exist, even as it is written: 'The Lord alone will appear
great on that day.' [4] Zohar I 25a says, “The people of the earth are
idolaters, and this has been written about them: ‘Let them be wiped
off the face of the earth. Destroy the memory of the Amalekites.’” And
Zohar I 38b and 39a say, “And the palaces of the fourth heaven are
those who lamented over Sion and Jerusalem and all those who destroyed
idolatrous nations. And those who killed off people who worship idols
are clothed in purple garments so that they may be recognized and
honored.”
Solving “The Arab Problem”
Such racist, dehumanizing teachings from rabbinic Judaism’s most
sacred literature deeply motivate the Orthodox and Ultra-Orthodox
sectors of modern Israel, particularly the settlement movement.
This past week Ha’aretz reported settlers invading Arab olive orchards
to harvest or destroy them, with no significant penalty from
authorities. They clearly considered the fruit of Arab toil to be
their own. Armed with 2,000 years of a rabbinic worldview that
Gentiles are animals to be exploited, the settler movement powerfully
serves the purposes of the Orthodox religious and political rule in
Jerusalem and Tel Aviv.

"With gentiles, it will be like any person: They need to die, but God
will give them longevity. Why? Imagine that one’s donkey would die,
they’d lose their money. This is his servant. That’s why he gets a
long life, to work well for this Jew,” said the rabbi, who recently
turned 90.
