Regardless:
Regardless of your feelings about the crisis between Israel and the Palestinians and Arab neighbors, even if you believe there is more culpability on Israel's part, the following two sentences really say it all:

If the Muslim Arabs put down their weapons today, there would be no more violence.

If the Jews put down their weapons today, there would be no more Israel.

johan galtung has a theory that the jews may have been selectively breeding the smartest jews together in various jewish ghettos throughout their history. he was only half serious but his allusion was that their culture allowed for such strategies.

he also said the Holocaust was really the jews fault in the first place for holding influential positions

Whats this supposed to mean?

Churchill on Palestine:

"I do not agree that the dog in a manger has the final right to the manger even though he may have lain there for a very long time. I do not admit that right. I do not admit for instance, that a great wrong has been done to the Red Indians of America or the black people of Australia. I do not admit that a wrong has been done to these people by the fact that a stronger race, a higher-grade race, a more worldly wise race to put it that way, has come in and take their place,"

that's what it means.

European vs. Arabs

It's a well known fact that the last 500 years or so was age of European enlightenment, just like every nation on earth had their period, so this unfair comparison doesn't work.

The argument is hugely flawed as at least largely of that list of Jewish Winners have nothing to do with Israel or Israel politics.

Most of those names are from Europe/U.S. and no real relation to the land so called "Holy".

Henry Kissinger, Menachem Begin, Shimon Peres are all well known war criminals...

Yitzhak Rabin was the only one from Israel who realized later in his life peace through nation building and talks were the only way and of course was murdered by the same Right Wing Nut Jobs who are in control of Israel today.


Time for the OP to do a better job of Reaching than that...

jews are the smartest ethnic group on earth... we all know this

Not all Jews though. These Nobel Prize winners almost always come from Ashkenazi Jews.

No one can deny that they have made the greatest contributions to science, modern philosophy, mathematics and technology.

Now the question is: is it genetic or a byproduct of nurturing?

it's genetic

it's all about how masculinity is defined in a culture. in the jewish culture the most desirable men were always the smartest. dumb jews didn't cut it because literacy has been a requirement for thousands of years.

nurturing plays a role but this is a product of selective breeding imo
