    Firstly, I have nothing against Jewish people. It just appears to me that at the very highest political and economic levels in Europe and America, Jewish people are prominent. A state was uniquely created for its people and religiously they are at the root of the West's biblical roots. Has the Jewish denomination been the historical leaders of the West?

      As a Jewish rooted representative of the Jewish population in the great North West, I can only account for my status as low man on the totem pole at my place of business.
      American socioty has also gone so far as to engraining us with idiomatic expressions rooted in Native American culture. Common phrases such as "Totem pole" and the like........
      But I'm ok with that because I'm also part Native American.

    The Jewish people have been successful, but they don't come close to "running the western world." Until Kennedy every U.S. president had been a Protestant Christian, mostly Episcopalians. If my recollection is right, there was only one Jewish Prime Minister of the UK--Disraeli. I'll check that. According to Wikipedia Benjamin Disraeli was born into a Jewish family but his father had him baptized in the Anglican (Episcopal)Church at age 12, presumably in order to make it easier for him to become successful in a society where anti-Semitism was rampant.

      It's not so much Prime Ministers or Presidents but people like bankers and others who really run the World.  Christianity is an offshoot of Judaism and how do you regard the creation of a Jewish state.  No other denomination has been so privileged.

        Banksters run the world. Some of them are descendents of Jews but not necessarily Jewish. Some are of other races and religions. Some are big oil men who are not Jewish.

        All races have been screwed by these leaders, including Jews and others. My natural father was Jewish and I was adopted at age 3 months. It is my view that to argue against the banksters in a racist way is both wrong and defeats the argument.

            I understand. It is just that a lot of people call other people Jewish when they are actually Jewish descendants who are atheists/agnostics. For example, the father of the neocons, who taught that the masses could be lied to by the elite, was Leo Strauss. His parents were Jewish. He was a Zionists but not Jewish.

            He believed that you keep the shell of democracy and lie to the masses. His most famous pupil was Paul Wolfowitz, who cooked up the lie of WMD to invade Iraq, who he said was "swimming in oil".

                Oh please, everyone knew he had chemical weapons. But you know what I am talking about, Condi Rice warning and scaring everyone about the "mushroom cloud". There were no serious biological and certainly no nuclear weapons.

                Get all the facts:

                Bush most likely was also involved in 911, the murder of his own citizens. I guess you never heard the story of the Taliban going to Texas in December of 1997 in order to be schmoozed into allowing Unocal to build a pipeline. That pipeline was to Halliburton investments in the Caspian Sea: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/world/west_asia/37021.stm

                Of course, when the pipeline was rejected, it gave Cheney, CEO of Halliburton, motive for 911 and the invasion of Afghanistan. Add to this the fact that PNAC neocons, with Cheney as a member, put the need for a new Pearl Harbor on the website in 2000, and you see that Cheney had both motive and knowledge of 911 beforehand.

                Cheney and Bush are cold blooded killers.

              Well, alleged control and secrecy attributed to Jews has been a recurrent anti-Semitic theme from time immemorial. It might be likened to praising the athletic superiority of blacks, leaving the unstated implication that they are deficient in other respects.

      The current leader of the opposition in the UK is Jewish:

      Not that this detracts from your point, but you may have been interested nonetheless. He and his brother, who contested the Labour party leadership against him, are the sons of the late Ralph Miliband - a famous Marxist philosopher who fled the Nazi's.

          ryankettposted 13 years agoin reply to this

          Not really sure how I helped to make your point, Ralph Milliband was given asylum in the UK to escape the persecution of Jews in Belgium and his sons were subsequently born and raised in the UK.

          Ralph Milliband was an intellectual, gaining first class honours at UCL, and became a professor at Chicago. As a result his two sons were afforded a top education and they got into political theories, just like their dad. They are two British born men with intellect running through their veins, their genes even, and as a result are respected politically.

          I doubt that either Millibands are anything like the typical Zionist American Jew who wants to see Israel starve Palistinian children. There are 350,000 jews in the UK, not many, but they tend to be very clever people.

              The Jews call themselves "the People of the Book" and education is important to them.   They have been so reviled in the past two thousand years that they have had to develop unique social skills in order to survive.

              Do you know that for hundreds of years in Europe the Jewish populations lived in fenced off ghettos.   Every time a new Pope was elected Jewish representatives would approach the Pope asking for more freedom.  Some Popes clamped down harder, some lightened up.

        Other than that- they run nothing.

          Isn't that, in and of itself, a stereotype of Jews?  Perhaps the emphasis on virtue is why Jews are successful?  Like the virtues of prudence, modesty, moderation, industry, etc....  Perhaps it is because Jews were persecuted everywhere in the world since the Diaspora that it was necessary to make oneself as valuable to society as possible to avoid the pogrom, the Gulag, the Ghetto, the Inquisition or the Death Camp.

            I have argued many times that being a Jew and being a descendant of Jews is not the same. Descendants of Jews may or may not have a moral code. It would seem that many did not, just like in any other race.

              I think this has a lot to do with the problems Jews have had - that the term 'Jewish' refers to both a religion and a race, which makes the Jewish religion a little bit racist, and seeds distrust in other people who see racial conspiracy instead of religious community.

              People need to decide whether being Jewish is a racial or religious thing, and if it is religious, then people who are decended from Jewish people need to stop calling themselves Jews before they can expect other people to make that distinction.

                It is a process of education. I think that Strauss saw himself as an atheist, and therefore not Jewish, although he was a Zionist. http://www.firstthings.com/blogs/spengl … f-judaism/

                This is a crucial distinction. Most of the founders of Israel were not practicing Jews, but rather were atheistic bolsheviks.

            If you actually take on board my point, it is their succesful virtues that I am raising.  Certainly from a historical point of view particularly around religion and its history, you may find me a bit more critical based on my views on this subject generally.  As for a sterotype where does it begin and end.  On the one side it is OK to talk about their persecution and the holocuast which was a terrible episode in history almost comparable to the slavery of Africans and apartheid.   Yet on the other side, we should not mention the success and influences they have had on the World..?

              As any fool can plainly see, the Jews have had a unique influence in the world.   Only a complete mumpsimus would contest that. 

              They are .02% of the world population for crying out loud.

              They own world banking and media.

              And I control the money supply."
               

              Unfortunately many Jews are also Communists.  Do they own education in the US also?   Not so sure if its Jewish Communists or thug unions.  Do Jews own the unions?  Don't know.  One thing is clear, parents don't control what their children are taught in public schools.

                You are wrong. Descendants of Jews may be communists. but it is a contradiction in terms to say a Jew is a communist. Jews by definition practice their religion. Communism is atheistic. I have argued above that Leo Strauss was an atheist and his parents were Jewish. He was a Zionist, but not a Jew.

                You don't make the distinction and you are being racist in not making the distinction. Jew is a term that refers to a religion. You make a racial issue out of a religious definition.

                I am a descendant of Jews but as for race, I am caucasian. You should know better than to make the term Jew into a race.

    It always gets dangerous for Jewish people when they are perceived to run the world.  They have learned through hard experience to keep a low profile.  During the early days of the holocaust people knew what was happening to the Jews.  The owner of the New York Times, a Jew, chose to bury stories of the holocaust on like page 40 because he feared if people thought he was protesting for the Jews he would lose all credibility.  He didn't want his newspaper to be labeled a Jew rag.

    I have no doubt that the most powerful people in the world are Jews.  And they aren't all Zionists.  Some of them are positively anti-Israel.  Some of them are positively evil, like George Soros.

    I suppose we would all agree that media is a very important component of world control?

    Personally, I believe that the Jews are the people God chose to use in carrying out His plan for the salvation of those who choose to believe in Him.  The Bible doesn't say the Jews as a people are chosen for salvation.  It does say they are chosen God's purposes to fulfill.   I believe it.

    Nowhere do we see God in action more than in the the lives of the Jewish people.  The miracles that occurred during the wars against Israel  are amazing.

              But there is no actual Jewish race unless, if you do not mind me saying, we refer to the original people that lived in today's Ethiopia. The Nazi's made their own decisions on how to classify race.

              So we now rely on Nazis to define race.  It is such a  fallacious concept to begin with before adding Nazi madness to it.

                  Absolutely!  There were two varieties of horror in the Twentieth century one was the ruthless slaughter of people for ideological reasons and the other was for "racial purity."  Precisely why I despise Communism and Nazism.

    1. This forum post is crap...

    2. The thinking behind it is crap

    3. That 'facts' supporting the arguements are crap...

    4. If certain Jewish people have risen to levels of prominance in certain industries, it is because (as in Hollywood), Jews had to enter industries in their early stages of development because non-Jews were bent on keeping them out of the established industries which they already ran (that is, went they weren't busy designing pogroms for their persecution and murder)

      Well I am a complete non-believer in religious clap-trap so I have no indoctrinated prejudice against one faith or the other.  I leave such discrimination to you religious folk.  I really don't fully understand why Jews should have been so persecuted,  I would argue that black people have suffered worse persecution and have experienced greater exlusion for a longer period of time.

    The problem I have is the amount of influence Israel has on our country!
    We have a Congress that sent a letter stating they would support Israel no matter what they do. We can never question their actions witout being labeled anti-semitic. And everybody is all gung-ho about Libya and their crimes, but they dismissed the Goldstone report about Israel's!

    I think Bibi is a thug. I don't want our tax dollars going to him.
    And it is a fact that the members of PNAC in our gvt were all dual citizens of Israel, and Zionists.

    Just WHO were they loyal to? Who are they loyal to now?
    Ross-Lethin?
    She has no compunction letting Americans starve, yet no one can touch Israel's foreign aid? How does this make sense?

    I think that many Repubs and Dems put Israel first, before America.
    That is how I feel about it!

        What?

        If this is true, the whole idea of America is a lie.

        But I will say this:

        A German man went to prison for 7 years for simply questioning the facts about the Holocaust.

        Now, a designer is facing trial and possible 6 months in prison for making anti-semitic statements.

        Lieberman wants to make it illegal to question the Holocaust on college campuses.....

        It is very weird and disturbing, to say the least.

        And I'm not kidding...google Kosher Nostra...it is no lie.

    "I think that many Repubs and Dems put Israel first, before America. That is how I feel about it!" Just check out the votes like 287 to 3 every time. Who the three are is probably alloted by drawing straws so as to completely appear as the Mubarack elections in Egypt.

    Historically A Jew had to be bright and smart and have money to survive (sometimes even that did not help). But there are as in any nation smart jews and stupid  jews, beautiful jews and ugly jews, bankers, polititians and dumb unemployed alcoholics. As soon as you start dividing people by race, nationality, religion, it smells like a nazi-camp.
    Well, as somebody said already it is all complete "carp".

      Where does race come into it.  This is about how influential the followers of Judaism have been throughout history and particularly in the West.  Bringing up Nazi-camp always seems to be a cheap shot at playing the racism card.

    There is a new world financial order. I write about it. But it is not a political order, although sovereignty has suffered because of it. And it is not a benign or good order because the banksters scammed us with ponzi loans cooked up within the context of that new financial order at Basel 2 in 1998.
