I do think the most popular meme about Talmud quotes was deliberately invented by Jews to confuse the goyim, because it has a lot of blatantly fake quotations, and others can be described as "deboonked" by Jews who can abuse the goyim's lack of contextual knowledge.
One example is a real quote from Sanhedrin 59a, which states that a gentile who studies the Talmud deserves death. The deboonker can then cite the passage after, which says that a gentile who studies the Talmud is like a high priest. But if you actually read the whole passage in context, the conclusion states that the latter verse applies specifically to the seven Noachide laws for goyim, not the whole thing. They ominously don't elaborate afterward on the implications for unapproved goy study of the other parts of the Talmud. So the actual context leads to the conclusion that the bad part is largely in context, while the nice-sounding part is mostly not. It's important to be wary of easy traps and pitfalls in this field.
