Oh shut up. Jews have done more for humanity than you ever will.

Despite their enormous contributions to humanity, Jews have been very humble about their achievements and magnanimous in the face of their treatment by others.

Go do something useful with yourself.

This times a million.

As for the OP, I'm not particularly keen on people who try and explain away anti-Semitism, especially if they're Jewish. And I don't care much for people like you who do their work for them.

Boring. **** quote. **** font. **** thread.

It's actually pretty interesting.

Based on his previous statements, yes.

You're just anti-semitic.

Of course not. You do a very good job at actually being anti-semitic.

I agree with it, I don't really think anyone can deny the influence of Judaism and Jews in western society throughout history, especially at the time when this article was written. The author is a dick though in the way he constantly uses "our". However, nowadays I wouldn't say it's the dominating influence in western society.

Wow, good one. I have nothing but support for my people and their enemies - you included.

Eh?

And Martyn, you have demonstrated on multiple ocasions that you are indeed anti-semitic. I don't know why you still try to deny it.

I have nothing but support for the Jewish people. They have triumphed. I still think you are anti-semitic.

I'd like to see you prove it.

Oh really, and why do you think that?

[Ray Bradbury]

Jewish Triumphalism.


To be a people having achieved what they have, with numbers less than in many cities around the world let alone countries, I think they have have a fair bit to be triumphal about.

My reaction is that it is largely true, but those who follow abrahamic faiths do not believe that they follow judaism, or off-shoots of it. People who follow Islam and Christianity have huge multitudes of heritage and culture that haven't been swallowed up by Jewish culture and tradition, which is currently practiced by relatively few people around the world.

Relatively?

Try 0.19% in 2009, given the low Jewish Birth rate, and with 150 million new babies everyear, assuming half live, and the population now 7.2 billion, I'd put that figure at 0.16%

Haredi ones have a very high birth rate, so surely that must compensate for the non Haredi low birth rate.

See the thing is when people see you saying things like 'they have triumphed' and making gigantic conspiracy theories of how jews rule the world it's a tad anti-semitic.

I mean the thing is you're clearly not a normal person, so when lots of basically normally people tell you your beliefs are disgusting you might want to listen.

No it isn't. It just isn't anti-semitic. The Jews are instrumental to the development of western culture (which we all recognise), and today, they are very influential, especially in America where they partly drive foreign policy in the Middle East. That's not being anti-semitic at all. I'll tell what is anti-semitic. Anti-semitism, or at least now one of the components of it, is the attitude that does not allow any criticism towards subversive elements of Jewish influence whatsoever. Some Jewish people are very anti-semitic also: when they play the anti-semitism card against anyone who points out salient facts about Jewish influences. The Jewish Defence League and the B'naib'rith are two anti-semitic organisations, for example. Zionism is anti-semitism also.

I don't listen to nincompoops.

I understand the conspiracy theory but those believers are misinformed. A lot of Jews are in positions of power and wealth not because they are Jewish but because of the holocaust. A lot of Jewish people generally like many other cultures prefer to breed with their own kind. As the Jewish community has always been quite small the effects of the holocaust were devastating on the Jewish population. Those that survived the holocaust would have been the best and brightest who were able to survive. This unintentionally meant a lot of Jews happened to be smarter on average as the less smart ones perished. As they were smarter they were able to reach more positions of wealth and power and as a result the conspiracy was born.

Sorry to disappoint you but you are simply wrong. The quotation contained in the OP is from before the holocaust. One could argue that one of the reasons the holocaust occurrred is becaused people were so resentful/envious of the suppremacy that the jewish community at the time. The jewish people have always been this successful for many centuries in Europe.

As soon as the discriminatory laws banning them from owning property, professions were abolished they invariably ended up monopolising nearly everything inspite of their low numbers even in the middle ages. Jewish people have been supremely gifted at least for the past millenium you will find if read about history.

You know nothing about Zionism or Judaism. Please try and shut the **** up, Martyn.
