Couple of more points.

If you are in an Italian neighborhood and you notice that quite a few people are wealthy, doesn’t mean that all Italians worldwide or in the nation are wealthy.
So if you’re in a Jewish neighborhood of million dollar homes it doesn’t mean that the Jewish are wealthy everywhere.
Most of you are unaware here that there are Jews in Easter Europe who are elderly who don’t have enough to eat and live in poverty.
So when you compare a Jew in Easter Europe with a Jew in USA the only conclusion that you arrive at is that it’s not the Jew but the location.
This means that USA is a blessed nation with abundance and gives you many opportunities to become rich compared to Romania, Bulgaria or Albania or many other nations.


Secondly if a person in a position of power says they’re Jewish, it means that their ancestors were Jewish. Maybe their parents or grandparents. But they’re American and there’s no denying about it.
Because if we take Elizabeth Warren as an example who is a United States senator who says that she’s 5 percent Native American because she ran a dna test doesn’t mean that she’s Native American.
At what point do you lose legitimacy and at what point do we take you seriously if you say such things?
That’s why we call her Pocahontas !

When the jews left Egypt gold was given then after ww2 happened the German pay reparation to this day for the family members that were lost.

There's a difference between Christians and jews. Christian tend to live in poverty. I think the main difference is anyone that read and keeps The teachings of the Bible are wise.

The jews expert their children to memorize the torah by the age of 12.

Eli, Jewish is more then culture and traditions which fade away with time but it's also religion. They jews have the torah to show them who they are and what is their heritage.
But its true that after ww2 many lost who they were having surivors guilt not teaching there own children they are Jewish or even admitting it themselves.

yet only 2.4% of USA identify as Jewish yet they control media, banking, finance, Hollywood, etc.
Result of Abraham blessing? Not hating at all, there has to be some secrets to be unlocked here.
Really? Going with the anti-semitism right from the start?

I agree with this on face value but the thing is that this topic applies a bit on different denominations of Christianity because as i have been saying, religion is shaped a bit by the culture. Also traditions and culture don't exactly fade over time but they change slightly over generations typically every 100 years.
The most obvious example which i've mentioned is the Orthodox Church icons in Japan.
They have made Jesus and mother Mary look like a Japanese person.
Now they know and we know that Jesus wasn't Japanese but it helps them and comforts them if they make him one of their own. So it means that they love Him from their hearts like their own. That's how i see it.

WW2 was indeed a breaking point not just for Jews but also everybody else. A lot of Jews became atheist because of that event. There have been many documentaries about this.

So the point here is that if you lost contact with your original home country for more than 1 generation, you're no longer part of that culture.
The same can be said for Muslims on the West who are very strict with their traditions and religion. They're not the same as a Muslim in their original home country.
In fact, in their home country they see them as Westernized and are usually not very friendly to them.
So, if you're born in America you're an American despite the fact that your mom or dad or their grandparents came from England, Germany, Italy, Greece, Spain, Brazil or wherever.
You're born and raised in America and you have been shaped by the American culture.

OK, so I found the verse in Proverbs 10:22

“The blessings of the Lord brings wealth, without painful toil to it.”

Where many Jewish families do teach financial matters to their children....they aren't magic or a cabal of financial wizards. They teach their children sound financial principles. The difference between luxuries and necessities and WHY they are classified as such so that they do not impoverish themselves.
I've known a few Jews from wealthy backgrounds who were shrewd/frugal with money in their own personal lives.

Follow the money, I have not time to go over your findings, I checked this out,
and in doing so again, I see google has taken down a lot of information and
replaced it with less incriminating information regarding the owner of pornhub,
its easy to bury the truth when your people control the media.
Try Yandex. Much better search results.

From what I understand, many families changed their names during World War III
What? Did WWIII already happen? Dang... go on vacation for 3 weeks, and they start and complete a world war while you're gone....
I completely missed it....

This thread reminds me of an old Sherlock Holmes story. You know, one of the ones written by Doyle himself.

One of the characters owed some people a lot of money, and he was trying to avoid them collecting on his debts before he had the money to pay them. Doyle used the phrase "holding off the Jews" multiple times as a colloquialism for "avoiding foreclosure until he can pay his debts."

I never looked into it, but I always assumed that meant Jews were so commonly money lenders that the phrase had become common too.
