>
> Maimonides, Mishnah Torah, (Moznaim Publishing Corporation, Brooklyn,

> if we see an idolater (gentile) being swept away or drowning in the
> river, we should not help him. If we see that his life is in danger, we
> should not save him." The Hebrew text of the Feldheim 1981 edition of
> Mishnah Torah states this as well.
>
> Immediately after Maimonides' admonition that it is a duty for Jews not
> to save a drowning or perishing gentile, he informs us of the Talmudic
> duty of Jews towards Christians, and also towards Jews who deny the
> Talmud. Maimonides, Mishnah Torah, (Chapter 10), p. 184:
>
> "It is a mitzvah [religious duty], however, to eradicate Jewish
> traitors, minnim, and apikorsim, and to cause them to descend to the pit
> of destruction, since they cause difficulty to the Jews and sway the
> people away from God, as did Jesus of Nazareth and his students, and
> Tzadok, Baithos, and their students. May the name of the wicked rot."
>
> The Jewish publisher's commentary accompanying the preceding statement
> of Maimonides states that Jesus was an example of a min (plural:
> minnim).
>
> The commentary also states that the students of Tzadok were defined as
> those Jews who deny the truth of the Talmud and who uphold only the
> written law (i.e. the Old Testament).
>
> According to Maimonides' Principles, p. 5, Maimonides "spent twelve
> years extracting every decision and law from the Talmud, and arranging
> them all into 14 systematic volumes. The work was finally completed in
> 1180, and was called Mishnah Torah, or "Code of the Torah."
>
> Maimonides taught in another part of the Mishnah Torah that gentiles are
> not human: "Man alone, and not vessels, can contract uncleanness by
> carriage. ...The corpse of a gentile, however, does not convey
> uncleanness by overshadowing. ...a gentile does not contract corpse
> uncleanness; and if a gentile touches, carries, or overshadows a corpse
> he is as one who did not touch it.
>
> "To what is this like? It is like a beast which touches a corpse or
> overshadows it. And this applies not to corpse uncleanness only but to
> any other kind of uncleanness: neither gentiles nor cattle are
> susceptible to any uncleanness." (The Code of Maimonides, vol. 10,
