Judaism Discovered by Michael Hoffman
First Edition 2008

This book was given to me by a friend at work.

Where to begin...whew! At first glance this seems like a well researched exposé of the "true" beliefs of Judaism. But, as you read farther along, it begins to drift off into conspiracy land.

Basic and shortened synopsis:

Jews are controlled by twisted rabbis who have hijacked Judaism, dismissed the Torah as a "guide", written the Talmud with their understanding of what their god really meant, and are a bunch of secretive, pedophilic money grubbers who will stop at nothing to get what they want.

Which I've been hearing for years.

I'll give him credit for his research. He does highlight a large amount of verifiable evidence. But, I don't have the tools available to link all this evidence they way he has presented it. Many of his sources are available online, respected agencies, news organizations, etc...

Something to read if you're a conspiracy nut, but not really worth spending any money on.

1 Star for being mildly interesting.

True, but these guys "really did", lol

*edit

Or I should say, "These guys wrote something different than what the first guys wrote, and when the first guys wrote it was really, really god telling them to, but when the second guys came along and changed that, it was really, really, really god that told them to."

Or something like that.
