I did read it. "When they said Jesus, they didn't mean Jesus Jesus" Yeah they did. When they say Titus, they mean Titus. They hate Titus because he destroyed the physical temple. When they say Jesus, they mean Jesus because He destroyed their spiritual temple.
Also, funny wordplay: When we say "Gas the Jews" there is multiple, subtle layers humorously interplaying there.
"Gas" could refer to not just the de-lousing agents, it also calls to mind flatulence, which is often offensive to everyone else around but not to the one who actually caused it. Just like jewery is repulsive to everyone else in society except the jews that commit it.
Also, by "Jews" we don't necessarily mean the demonic religion that wears ancient Hebrew spirituality as a skinsuit to cover their abhorrent behavior... because then we wouldn't have capitalized it.
I have no idea why you think your train of thought here might be relevant. It's not.
The context of the arcane bit from the Talmud you're obsessing over cannot be understood until you know what the Talmud is, what it's written for, and how it's used.
You don't.
Neither am I saying it's important, and I certainly don't think it's worth the effort to study. First of all you should realize that well over 70% of all US Jews give no credence or consideration to the Talmud whatsoever. Smaller groups of them including Conservatives and Orthodox do, but very few of them spend any time reading it and almost none of them ever read the whole thing. And the few who do don't place any emphasis on bizarre bits like what you're focused on here.
Context.
