I've been reading the post on my lot and whenever you get Christians in the room with Muslims you end up having them trying to tear each other's throats out and insulting each other in a very personal way. I've noticed that the Jews have avoided getting involved in this arguement and have quietly gone about making themselves into a successful people and letting Christians and Muslims make a mess of themselves. Regardless of one's personal politics, I think people are right - the Jews are God's chosen - he gave them brains, which they have used - what say the rest of you to this topic? - btw, I mean this as a compliment to any Jews reading this!

Well i would be careful with this sentences. The sentence you said that Jews have been given brains which they use turned in the world war to an accusation that Jews want to take over the world and rule, that they think they are superior to all human beings and they want to destroy and take over all the rest. I guess that yes alote of Jewish people do have a good sense and talent for business and the brains for it, and they prefer to use it silently instead of focusing on wars and arguments, maybe they are so sure of their believe that they do not feel any need to be involved in arguments of other religions. They do respect every religion there is. but let's be careful with those sentences. We do believe in actions more then arguments on things that we can not change. We do not think there should be argument or convincing of people that their religion is not as good as ours. we respect- that is the key word, and go on silently with our believe and actions.

Jewish people, like the Chinese have been labbled as being exceptionally brainy at business and in the places where they are an ethnic minority, they usually end up owning a larger percentage of the economy than their numbers would suggest. And like the Jews in Europe, the Chinese in Southeast Asia bear the brunt of progroms and other such nicities whenever the economy goes to the toilet and politicians need a scape goat.
The point of my previous statements should actually lead to the point that the Jews seem to play their cards very well when it comes to world politics. Outnumbered by both Christians and Muslims on the global stage, the Jews, both in the diaspora and in Israel have managed to work with the other two groups to ensure that their survial is guarenteed. Call it animal cunning, call it survivors instinct, I think the way the Jewish people have worked out their survival is something to be admired.
