Gaza, in the minds of woke non binary islamo nazi idiot fringe is called a "genocide"..if so it's the first genocide in human history where the targeted population is greater 3 years after.it allegedly began than it was at the beginning on October 7th 2023..when the islamo nazi entity hamas perpetrated genocide on every living jew they came across in southern israel.

imagine if israeli troops were given orders and a religious doctrine identical to that of hamas..Indeed identical to that of all islamo nazis who have infected western civilization like a metasticizing cancer...to do to Gaza what hamas did to jews on October 7th..if the IDF had been issued such orders Gazas population would not only not be larger than it was at the beginning of the conflict..it would be non existent..there wouldn't be any Arabs left alive in that cancerous piece of dirt...the israeli army having the capacity to eradicate every living being in Gaza. Meanwhile in Nigeria, Sudan, Syria.. Iraq, Pakistan, even Egypt..Christians.. animals.. yazidis and yes even muslims not considered Muslim enough are being barbarically butchered by genocidal islamo nazis..but the craven lying imbeciles who falsely accuse israel of genocide remain quiet ..the pope is a troubling example..remaining as quiet as a church mouse while Christians are slaughtered across Africa and the middle east..while rockets rain down on israeli civilian areas..finds his nuts when trump and israel attack the greatest evil the world has known since pol pot and Hitler.. as though he was staring at a naked bent over choir boy..these lieing fascist bootlickers truly sicken me..privileged students on western college campuses chanting from the river to the sea..cheering for the genocide of jews while falsely accessing israel of a non existent genocide for perpetrating a defensive war by the most moral army in the world against true genocidal savages in hamas. People have lost the capacity to think to judge to discern truth amid the avalanche of lies distortion and logical perversion.. failing to understand the false analogies they are spoon fed as though they're insensate children..

Why are jews the way they are?..why are they overepresented in Science..nobel prizes....business..entertainment..

writing? It's not a dark evil hidden conspiracy responsible for jewish achievement...after 2000 years of non stop murder rape and persecution..most stupid jews went extinct..the only surviving jews were tough smart survivors or cowardly weasels like Glenn Greenwald.. Norman finkelstein..Chuck shumer etc. Also over the centuries ..Jewish communities in the diaspora valued and respected their rabbis, the most learned and intelligent men in their communities, as opposed to other societies who valued and respected brute strength and merciless.force..so rabbis had the smartest wives and had the highest fertility rates..so the smartest.people in jewish communities had the most kids as opposed to the most violent...that has resulted in environmental pressures which produced more intelligent people..look...its like this..ill make it simple for those of you who dont understand..im sure there are a lot.of you..if you come home and kick your dog..he'll jump up and retreat to the corner.whimperling..if the next day you come home and kick your dog again..it will once more retreat whimpering into the corner..if the next day you open the door planning to once again kick your dog..it won't be on the floor but will instead be up..its ears up..head down and teeth bared growling savagely..waiting to pounce if you try to kick him again..the jew is that dog..get it? The leaders of Israel are very timid..afraid of world opinion..ill tell you the truth as a jew whose family was decimated only 80 years ago in Romania by Hitler.. I would prefer.to burn the whole world to a smoking cinder than to see my only remaining family in tel aviv harmed by islamo nazi barbarians. If a jew like me takes power in Israel.. if the cancerous savages dont stop killing jews I'll show the hypocrite woke non binary islamo nazi idiots what a REAL genocide looks like

The five lessons felt so good to read; appreciate your reminder of some of our best Jewish stuff.

I knew all of this early on, and these attributes are certainly what attracted me to Judaism, but it is still great to see it analyzed and expressed so eloquently.

Omitted here is a significant group of very vocal self erasing Jews who have dedicated their lives for power and money to kill Jews: individuals such as Bernie Sanders, Zack Polanski, Norman Finkelstein, Noam Chomsky, Peter Beinart, Gabor Mate, and Miko Peled. Addressing the influence of those within our own community who work against Jewish existence is a necessary first step in effectively fighting Jew-hatred. Disinfecting of the rot among our own should be step one.

We need a mass Biur Chametz , combined with the ritual of Tashlich purging or cleaning the earth of evil and throwing them away like the sins they are. Include every Jew that supports J Street, JVP,IfNotNow, GJP,JJP, Neturei Karta. That's a lot of Jews. But not enough-include any Jew who still forms their opinion on Israel by reading the NYT and MSM, vacations everywhere but has never thought to go Israel, is ashamed, apologetic, doesn't remember the Shema, and especially those jews who's become rich and famous by using their jewishness to do so without any chesed to their religion God fellow jews-Larry David, Seth Rogan, Paul Simon, Hannah Einbeinder-I'd be typing for days to include them all.

100% correct, the elitist Lefties Hollywood Jews and their opulence will be eaten last, but they will be eaten. We have 1 Jewish State and 57 Muslim Countries, all Islamic theocracies, dictatorships, monarchies but they are ashamed, spinless, and cowardly to stand with Israel.

Imagine being so ignorant, so antisemitic, or such a self hating assimilationist, thinking that a democracy with 10 million people is the obstacle to "world peace" and not the Arab dictatorships with 450 million trying to destroy it for nearly 80 years-G Kasparov

They are spinless and cowards.

I'm inspired by this and I AM Jewish.

A lot of truth here, but Asians also have similar attributes in their culture, such as valuing education, respect for their family and elders, and other factors you mention.

As far as wallowing in victimhood, the Nobel Prize for this goes to the Palestinian population.

Yes, that is absolutely true about Asians (and some communities from India, which, I guess, you can include as "Asian?"). I'll tell you something funny. My daughter (Jewish) married a Chinese man who was born in China, raised in America (and he was, of course, an over-achiever because of the culture of Chinese immigrants). My daughter was very nervous about meeting his parents because she wasn't Chinese and they were hoping for a Chinese daughter-in-law. When she met them and they found out she was Jewish, they were absolutely delighted and talked about how closely related their attitudes about education, family, working hard, and so on. Also, there is a great story about the history of Shanghai and Jews which formed a very positive attitude toward Jews by many Chinese who benefited from the largess of Jewish immigrants to Shanghai in the 1800's. As a result of that fondness for Jews, Shanghai took in tens of thousands of Jews escaping the Nazis during the Holocaust. Unfortunately, however, the past three years, the leaders of China have been not-so-great and they are actually spreading antisemitism, mostly to show alliance with Iran.

I am an Irish Catholic man and have always admired Jewish culture - and now you have enumerated the reasons why! Thank you!

I was born in the fifties in the U.S. and knew many Holocaust survivors in a mid-size industrial city in the Midwest. Some were relatives (although not my parents or grandparents).

They had tremendous drive. They learned English and dived right in despite heavy accents. They married and had children rather than wait till "the time is right." They worked long hours. They expected academic achievement from their children even if they weren't steeped in American-style education or even had little education themselves due to the Holocaust.

By the way, we see the Holocaust thru the wrong lens. Living in an individualist society, we assume that Jews should have simply escaped or fought. But there is more to the story. Jews were more heavily tied to their family, including older relatives, so many who could have fled to America or elsewhere stayed behind in Europe. And within the camps, when a person escaped, there was revenge on the others they left behind.
