…In modern Hebrew…
I have provided evidence from (((Wikipedia))) that the Yeshu insult was first published in the medieval Toledot Yeshu.

The insult has been known for nearly a millennium, yet you work zealously to exculpate "all Jews" using the insult (Have some of your own straw man medicine).

Now, not at all facetious, the insult has been known for nearly a millennium, yet you work zealously to exculpate or ignore  significant modern usages of the insult.  Why?

Actually, Yeshu is an imprecation, hence a curse, not merely an insult.

Good commentary on the subject:

Interesting that this quote was not on his list of most objectionable Frankisms:
Quote
[color=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.843137)]"And I believe in God, not in a Catholic God, there is no Catholic God, there is God and I believe in Jesus Christ, his incarnation. Jesus is my teacher and my pastor, but God, the Father, Abba, is the light and the Creator. This is my Being. Do you think we are very far apart?"[/color]
Doesn’t that put the present controversy in perspective?  He believes in God, he believes in Jesus Christ, but he doesn’t say that he believes Jesus Christ is true God.  So Scalfari is still pretty sharp after all these years.

From One Peter Five:


Quote
So why should we believe Scalfari?

Because Scalfari has everything to lose, pitting his reputation against the Roman Pontiff, and nothing to gain. The pope, even this pope, has the moral high ground, and a global audience. He could destroy Scalfari with a word, and the latter, whose death cannot be far in the future, would go to his grave under a cloud of scandal and ignominy, his hard-earned reputation in tatters, his legacy — the only thing an atheist like Scalfari can really believe he will leave behind when he’s gone — lost due to his own careless, casual, repetitive fabrications.

What would be worth that?

Why we should believe Scalfari is the wrong question. The question is why we should believe Francis, who has made no effort — not even once — to distance himself from these remarks, to clarify his positions, or to cease his interactions with Scalfari himself.
