ever wondered how come the israeli lobbies have so much influence !!

Is it anti-semetic to say that some of the people at the centre of world finance are jews?

Pretty much all treatment/policy aimed at the jews from Christ to WWII was motivated by rabid anti-semitism.

So why in 1290? How come jews were even in england if there was such rabid anti semetism?

No, it's a compliment, thank you.

It's only anti-semitic when one says Jews are taking over. Check out the irony, Jews contain no more than 0.01% of the population.

Just checking. It seems some posters equate the suggestion of jewish involvement in the upper echelons of banking to anti semetism.

Why what in 1290? And people have to live somewhere. If theyd had a choice they wouldnt have lived under such conditions.

0.67% of Brits are Jews. :smile:

1% of Americans are Jews. :smile:

It depends on what youre saying. To simply state that some of those involved in finance are jewish is not anti-semitic but i rather doubt thats all you have to say on the matter.

0.01% is'nt that kind of the 'conspiracy theorists' point, that for their influence is disproportionate to their numbers?

I've always wondered why people think it's strange/unusual for Jews to be business people, lawyers, doctors. We are normal human beings like everyone else. We just have a certain religion. :confused:

So what? If Luxembourgers make up 0.005% of the world's population, but control at least 10 times that percentage in international finance, does that mean there is some Luxembourger conspiracy in effect?

Why did the victimisation of the jews reach a head in 1290 resulting in the expulsion from england?

I forget the reasoning exactly but the persecution would become more virulent than usual occasionally but it was constant to a greater or lesser extent.

No but it would mean that they had a disproportionate influence. If it were a larger percentage you might say there was the possibility for 'control' rather than 'influence'

In fact even if a group controlled 100% it could still be unfair to call it a 'canspiracy'

What percent of international finance do you think Jews control?

Also, do you think Jews act as a group (i.e. they coordinate their activities with each other) or do individual Jews try to make money for themselves?

I have no idea. I suspect it is less now than in the past. I have heard of the influence of the house of rothschild in the past.

No I don't think the 'Jews' act as a group more than any other group.

Is it anti-semetic to criticise the 'money cartel' or the practice of usury?

People of a Jewish background are successful in the financial market, because they deserve it. They have huge companies worldwide such as Coca-Cola, Estee Lauder, Revlon, M&S and off course, the legendary starbucks. They work hard and put time and effort into their work and so are very successful. They deserve to be at the top of financial markets.

Oooh, what's this? Is an arab muslim really saying this? Yes.

Most of those companies are no longer owned by Jews (Ester Lauder being the only exception I believe).

They were started by Jew, and then other people saw potential and bought it. Makes sense really.

I love Estee(Ester) Lauder products! They actually work! Unlike stupid Clinique and No.7.

Anyway...
