Is it anti semetic to think that jews have too much power?

Yes but you;re talking about some kind of explicit conspiracy to advance Jewish interests, which is the stuff of fantasy. But there are cultural biases among Jews that may basically mean that they naturally find themselves 'pulling in the same direction' to shape the world in a way which they approve of.

There are numerous examples. Jews heavily vote Left wing in elections, which is astounding when you consider their income. Many put this down to some kind of unique Jewish altruism(Chosen People stuff) but perhaps Jews are put off by the right's nationalism? Jews do seem to be ultra-internationalist in outlook generally and that is probably a cultural legacy of their 'outsider' status in Europe over the centuries.

Do Jews feel comfortable with the idea of Christianity and conservatism being the dominant moral forces? Probably not, and for obvious reasons. Historically these are forces to be feared and resented.

You could expand on any number of issues. But the general conclusion must be that if someone were to point out that Jews were heavily involved in the Communist movement in the early 20th century, heavily involved in the counter-culture movements of the 1960s etc etc they are not necessarily Neo-Nazi nutcases but rational people trying to understand a very clear trend.

So as I say, there need not be any conspiracy for a group to work in tandem, each working on their individual ambitions.

I'd venture to say that a huge number of those Jews are secular - given the large % of Jews in the US who are atheist/agnostic. Especially at the higher levels.

You mean the Nobel committee is just as unbiased as the Oscar's committee??

If you were part of a community, religious group or race that had been the subject of a fairly recent deliberate attempt to exterminate your entire people and were still the subject of hate, conspiratorial bull**** and random attacks, would you be openly trusting of the other people?

Are you aware that in the UK and in much of the western world, most Jews are now assimilated and do not declare their Jewish identity, nor do they go to synagogues or belong to Jewish organisations. Given this, how do you suppose they operate the global conspiracy of Jews?

I think that would go some way to explaining their "over-representation" in academia. However, even factoring this in I don't think that it would account for the number of Nobel prizes won, which represent the absolute creme de la creme of their disciplines i.e. the geniuses who go further than anybody else.

It wouldn't account either for their pre-eminence in particular fields like quantum theory in the 1900s-1950s, as chess grandmasters, or for precocious talent of someobody like John von Neumann

Jewish people are an ethnic group. They can be religious or non religious. But, the culture is shaped by the ethno-supremacism of their religion.

Either Jews are ethnic nepotists, or they are the superior race. You tell me what one seems more likely?

Yes I know many Scientists my second degree was a Science degree.
They are human and prone to all the same petty jealousy and faults every other human is, the list of Racist/sexist/homophobic/politically active prominent , famous Scientists is as long as my arm.

You don't become a faultless angel because you pull on a lab coat or are exceptionally gifted/intelligent in a certain field.

The political bias of Jews in western countries has changed, many more are right-leaning than they used to be. In the US, almost a third of Jews voted for Romney in the last election. Admittedly there is still a left-leaning majority, but it isn't as definitive as it once was.

Er, no, they don't.

World's biggest media corporations? News Corp - owner, Rupert Murdoch. Definitely not a Jew. Time Warner, Viacom, etc? All stock-quoted corporations with no specific family ownership.

Money? What do you mean exactly? The richest people on earth are in the Gulf states. Are they Jewish?

Politics? What an absurd point. I take it you mean Israel is defended by the US. There are strategic reasons for that, even if there was no Jewish lobby in the US, but Israel is also accepted by most of the Arab world governments, even if not by the Arab street.

People who achieve great things in particular academic or cultural disciplines typically have key drivers in their childhood, including the presence of inspiring role models, a disciplined, hard-working, results-driven family home, parents, grandparents or near relatives who share the cultural or academic interest and a determination by the relatives to ensure the success of the child in the chosen field. Put these together with an intelligent child brought up in a questioning, intellectual atmosphere and that makes for a huge head start in unusual and high achievement.

Evidently at least some Jewish households acted in those ways towards their children, not least by holding out the expectation to them of high goals.

Class also plays a big part. You picked Von Neumann as an example - his father was a wealthy banker. The bright children of wealthy families often excel in their chosen fields. There are millions of Jews from poorer homes who do not make such a splash on the world scene.

The left wing thing is very interesting tbh, in America for example around 50% of Jews marry out so I find it hard to think very many of them 'act Jewish' and by that I mean act in a way which is somehow supposed to advance Jewish interests or which is insular.

Again I think the Communist thing is very exaggerated, a while back I had a debate with someone on Stormfront (I am not lying, but I can't be bothered to find the link) where I found the ethnic background of people in the Russian Bolshevik faction and Jews were only very slightly over-represented, but much less so than that majority non-Russian gentile groups. It just seemed to me that anyone who felt persecuted felt that perhaps this group would represent them better.

and y'know and I can slightly see why someone would wonder about these things but I have to ask why the Jews in particular are singled out. Nobody obsesses over why Indians are often so dominant in Silicon Valley and in fact computing in general or why the Irish make such great writers, in fact this is a trend I have noticed, the most rabid leftists I have known have in fact generally been of celtic ancestry

Rupert Murdoch has a Jewish roots. Founder and Executive Chairman of Viacom is a Jew. Lets have a look at the assets of Walt Disney and Fox alone.

Money? Do I need to address this? O.o

Politics? Well they have got away with a lot, on top of that being the highest receiver of foreign aid from the US.

Proof or it didn't happen
