GENTILES V. JEWS

It is said that a prominent rabbi, when asked why God created so many Gentiles, replied, "So there might be fuel enough for the fires of hell."

It was unlawful for a Jew to help a Gentile who was giving birth, thus helping to bring another Gentile into the world. If a Jew married a Gentile, the Jewish family had a funeral service for them and the one who married a Gentile was dead to them. For Gentiles, the feeling was mutual; they despised Jews.
