Out of curiosity, I was under the assumption gargoyles were to ward off evil. Why would they be a visage of juden? I'm not hugely Familiar with the folklore.

i did some research
13th century
gargoyle means throat in french
water spout for roof
the name comes from the French legend of "La Gargouille," a fearsome dragon that terrorized the inhabitants of the town of Rouen. For centuries, according to the story, the dragon swallowed up ships and flooded the town, until around 600 BCE, when a priest named Romanus came along and agreed to vanquish the beast in exchange for the townspeople's conversion to Christianity. Romanus tamed the dragon by making the sign of the cross, then led it into town where it was burned at the stake. The creature’s head, however, wouldn’t burn, so the townspeople cut it off and affixed it to their church. The gargouille’s head became a ward against evil and a warning to other dragons.
now to understand that (((they))) wrote history or have twisted it along the way this could be the truth or a complete false legend and the dragon was a heeb that slaughtered children

Maybe "ward off evil" is doublespeak. Jewish or not gargoyles look evil as fuck. Evil sees that and thinks "this must be the temple of my people"
