"Goyims"? What is the plural of a plural word? Does it revert to
singular, sort of like a double-negative?

In any case, what is your basis for claiming that all non-Jews are
somehow descended from Esau? Did everyone else of his generation
throughout the world suddenly become sterile and unable to reproduce?

What?
This was a really stupid thing to say.

I see that you disparage the talmudic dictum "halacha hi b'yadua
she'esav sonei l'yisrael". It's so "nice" to hear people ridiculing
traditional Jewish thought on soc.culture.JEWISH.moderated :-)

Apparent translation: Any disagreement with the dictates of Josh
should result in a virtual cherem. Is any disagreement about the
interpretation and application of a phrase from the Talmud now
forbidden?
