Jews are not rich because they are evil

God, that Zuckerberg dude looks deserving of a punch to the jaw, evil or not.

And moving on, like I hope you all do.

Namaste.

and ETA: after reading post above this. For me, they ARE a race of people not just a religious group but regardless, they deserve the respect and tolerance of all, just like I/we expect for our ideas/ideals.

edit on 11-11-2010 by annella because: we

most Jews I know are athiests and aren't religous at all, but they still call themselves Jews. I also don't buy the religion thing. I was raised christian and realized the sham it was, I still don't go around saying I'm a Christian.
Jews push for multiple culturalism all over the world but make it a point to keep their own bloodlines as pure as possible.

The problem really with Jews is people know too much about them. They are "overexposed" because of their actions, good and bad.
I would like to know how many of the mega bankers that are members of the various central banks are Jews. Can the OP tell me? It is relatively easy to research how much debt the average man, woman and child in the western world owes them. And yes, I know these bankers care nothing whether the indebted are Jew or Gentile.
Hollywood could be said to be the Jewish capital of the U.S., maybe next to New York. It is a factor in the propaganda that makes it into many movies. Sneaky.
But, I loved Seinfeld, Kramer, George and Elaine. Funny and very well written for many years. Dylan wrote great ballads, Croce great love songs and Paul Simon just keeps reinventing himself.
There are many more of course.
I am actually related to a famous Jewish painter, but I am not going to drop names here. I prefer my arguments and statements to stand on their own. You will find that I have been particularly hard on Jews and Israel here, but it is because in those cases I addressed, they deserve it. Not anti-semitic, just observant. In fact, anti-semitic is a term that should become obsolete. Archaic.
I will S&F just for the effort, but your examples aren't the best, just perhaps high profile.

in a way, this entire conversation is about 'is there a higher percentage of evil jews when compared to other other religions/ races?'
otherwise it's basically just picking on one group.
unless someone can prove that question,
as a jew myself, what shall i think of your position?
i tend to look at peoples heart and actions before i judge.

Basing someones intent on how they look is ludicrous. Stalin didn't look like that big of a bad guy, stern? Sure. Evil? Nah...

How 'bout old President Bush JR?




He looks like an idiot but has caused so much pain and problems for the once great U.S. of A. How do you explain that? Following your logic, he should be an idiot incapable of putting in place things like that Patriot Act and many more foul practices.

Or, or is someone behind Bush pulling his strings? Like they are with Zuckerberg and the rest? Maybe they are nice guys but being used for darker intentions?

anyone who is rich has done it at a cost. The cost of stepping others, destroying something wonderful, hurting others, etc.

It is basically a sacrifice. It is a Karma that you build. I have tried to rid of all that I have accumulated to rid myself of the karma.

I believe Cliff High has a point, they have accumulated the wealth at the expense of others, in the meantime accumulated the associated Karma. They are about to pay for that again - as predicted.

We are not living in harmony as a result of their actions, we are sacrificing our way of life, we are being programmed to consume more than we need, to step over others to get to the top, pay huge amounts of mortgages on house, etc. If you look at our homes, we should be paying $50k to build our homes, 80% of the costs are fuel and suppressed technology related costs, the rest are increase in cost of home ownership to force people to either become rent slaves or mortgage slaves.

This is not right.

Its not me targeting them but a few thousand threads on this and other sites. Im just defending them against the onslaught.

Except that of 1000 threads this is finally one that singles them out in a positive light.

One thing that always seems to come across each time there is a thread mentioning "Jews", is that they sometimes are portrayed as a race.... they are not.

Jews are both an Ethnicity (proven by DNA testing) and a Religion.

Ask yourself this. Who is a Jew?
Who is a Jew?
The more you know.

• In the Bible, Jews were called Hebrews or Children of Israel • The terms "Jew" and "Judaism" come from the tribe or kingdom of Judah • "Jew" now refers to all physical and spiritual descendants of Jacob • A person can be Jewish by birth or by conversion • Traditionally, Jewish status passes through the mother, not the father

And whatever evil they did - is it "because they are jews" or because they are human? You see, I think its because they are human. Im in the minority on that opinion.

You are not in minority on that opinion. Star and flag for you!

And bumping that excellent video. Scream propoganda all you like, I call it truth in your face.

I could probably name many successful, good jews, but these 2 would not be in that list.

You have a valid point. I could have, maybe should have chosen others.

I went with these two because they are strangely missing from anti-semitic conspiracy-theories.

Hi All,
Actually to my knowledge, Cdns and Amrcns of average disdain from kicking, punching, stabbing or shooting others. Other than that -- go fart it.

Wow - thank goodness. I was starting to get seriously discouraged.


I say "maybe jews are not evil" and get attacked from all sides.

Actually there are a lot of jews in high ranking positions because in the medieval ages they weren't allowed to own land so they couldn't grow their food thus they could not be farmers.

So they did the next big thing, they started to educate themselves thus getting jobs in things like writing, printing books, and later on proto banking.

And because banks have now become such an important thing in our lives, they have grown along with the jews that worked in them.

Its as simple as that.

Oh and because of the effort they put into their children's education you can be sure that a stupid jew is a rare thing.



PS: i am not taking any side in this disscussion but this is what i observed while doing a study

Its not like people havent benefited from Hollywood and Banks. And its not like Jews "control" them or are in those positions because they are "evil". MGM almost went broke, so the Japenese (Sony) bought them.

You wouldnt say the Japanese "control Holllywood".If the MGM-Jews were all-powerful they would have not gone broke to begin with.

I fully agree with you but you cannot convince some of the haters on ATS. Remember antisemitism has a very long history. Actually as a black man I can say that it predates anti black racism!

I find these particular topics incredibly depressing. That we racially stereotype a whole group of people to say that they are "good", evil" or whatever -based on where they are born or the colour of their skin.

If you want to continue with the summation, try to define what evil is?

- Is it evil to kill someone? [this should be an easy question]
- Is it evil to kill someone if they are killing your brother? or your cat?
- Is it evil to kill someone by drink / driving?

We like to band about the term "good" and "evil" as they are easy to focus: black or white. However, there is no such thing in real life - everything is grey - a phobic may kill an animal out of panic, a human may kill to stay alive, and then there is war.
