So just more deflection as the topic wasn't about intelligence at all. 

Neither does Planet of the Apes have anything to do with it.
"A post-apocalyptic world where apes have evolved intelligence and established a society, often while humans have either devolved or are treated as animals"

"Also, since Israel is the jew capital of the world, notice how they run their society so much better than the surrounding nations. It's like the Planet of the Apes vs the humans but the jews are the superior ones."

Are Jews apes that evolved intelligence and established a society (that they run so much better than surrounding nations in your words) or are you saying Jews devolved and are treated as animals.

Israel is certainly turning Gaza into a post-apolyptic world and are treating Palestinians as animals. But whatever analogy you are trying to make only comes over as a discriminatory remark, suggesting Israel is the only civilized nation amongst the apes?

Plus you keep talking about the superior ones. That's Nazi talking points.


The original post was about broadening/weakening the definition of anti-semitism to include criticism of Israel's policies.

You started about intelligence as a 'reason'? for painting criticism of Israel as anti-semitic.

I'm sure that the ivy league schools are very protective against anti-semitism.  Jews are very intelligent so it comes as no surprise that an Ivy league school would presumably have more jews than average, and much rich jew donations.  So that's why you see this kind of thing.  I like jews though, i just tell it like it is.  


Also, since Israel is the jew capital of the world, notice how they run their society so much better than the surrounding nations.  It's like the Planet of the Apes vs the humans but the jews are the superior ones.  



Any nazis reading this will be pissed.  Anyway, have a good day Svenno!

But I do agree that it comes as no surprise since the schools thrive on donations. And the whole student protests were/are about divesting from Israel. Schools want to keep their fat donations, therefore they have to keep funding genocide / ethnic cleansing.

That's why there has been so much anti-semitism.  The ashenkazi jews just soar above and beyond most people in Europe.  And the nazis wanted to punish the people that they knew were better than them.  You don't have to agree, and it's just my 2 cents.  Realize that Hitler was probably a malignant narcissist.  

On one hand they have the "look at me", "look at me" narcissist thing going on.  On the other, they have evil solutions that most narcissists wouldn't dream of.  That's why i think he devised the holocaust since the Jews were smarter and better than the Germans on average.  

The whole Planet of the Apes thing was a good analogy since it has two important things in common with the Palestenian and Jew situation.  Originally, the Jews were the Hebrew people.  And they came before the Palestenians.  The Jews are also smarter, and better than than the Palestenians.  They have been able to become much wealthier than not only the Palestenians, but the neighboring nations.    This fits in with the humans in the movie as having a civilization from an earlier time than the apes, but were also more advanced in almost all ways.

Why is Trump talking about himself in the 3rd person.
Why is Trump saying he won three elections.
Why is Trump saying the sources "probably" don't even exist.

Lmao.

If Trump genuinely sues Murdoch then that's fucking amazing, full-blown civil war between Republicans, will Fox News turn on him? I really hope WSJ has more stuff in the barrel, like they actually have the letter too. Hopefully Murdoch doesn't be a chickenshit and backdown, I'm still surprised to see Murdoch let this go ahead but then again Murdoch has no soul and likely has no allegiances.

I'm going to start praying to God for Trump to actually sue News Corp and Murdoch.

I almost don't even care who wins, the fighting will be amazing, whoever loses, we win.

Fuck Murdoch and Fuck Trump.

He wasn't funny at all to be honest. I thought John Stewart and Bill Maher is more entertaining than Steven even if I disagree with some of them.

If you remove social programs the government provides you won't see the price of products go up artificially.

For example, if you give me welfare I will have more money to spend on products like food. Therefore driving up the demand artificially and causing inflation.

If welfare spending is offset by increases in taxation, the amount of available cash for spending is equalized, therefore offsetting increases in demand from welfare with decreases in demand from taxation. 

So, just tax the rich. Easy enough.

Also makes it kind of hilarious that Trump cut taxes for the rich when we're still fighting to get out of one of the worst inflationary periods in recent memory. His economic sense is questionable...

Taxing the rich means taxing the middle class. The rich own all the assets and won't give up their life styles or in the case of companies hurt their investors. They will resort to tactics like raising products/services prices, layoffs/outsourcing, wage stagnation, etc.

I definitely do no agree with any of that.


https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/antisemitism-in-history-the-era-of-nationalism-1800-1918

The emancipation of the Jews enabled them to own land, enter the civil service, and serve as officers in the national armed forces. It created the impression for some others—particularly those who felt left behind, traumatized by change, or unable to achieve occupational satisfaction and economic security in accordance with their expectations—that Jews were displacing non-Jews in professions traditionally reserved for Christians. It also created for some the impression that at the same time, Jews were being overrepresented in future-oriented professions of the late nineteenth century: finance, banking, trade, industry, medicine, law, journalism, art, music, literature, and theater.

Sounds a lot like current Islamophobia in Europe, the immigrants are taking our jobs.

In summary, 18th-century antisemitism was a multifaceted phenomenon driven by religious prejudices, economic tensions, and evolving social and political contexts, with roots in the medieval past but taking on new forms in the Enlightenment era.

Hitler capitalized on existing anti-semitism to further his goals, just like Trump is using anti immigration sentiment to further his goals and Netanyahu is furthering anti Arab/Muslim sentiments for his. It's the same story as always.

https://www.annefrank.org/en/topics/antisemitism/why-did-hitler-hate-jews/



Originally both Jews and Palestinians were Caanites. In fact ME Jews and Palestinians share the same ancestry. Most that remained in the area, after the Roman invasion, converted to Islam which became the dominant religion in the Ottoman Empire.

However Jews and Muslims still lived peacefully together

While Islam was the dominant religion, the empire also included significant populations of Christians, Jews, and other religious minorities, who were often governed under a system of religious autonomy known as the millet system.


https://library.biblicalarchaeology.org/collections/where-did-early-israelites-come/

While the Bible portrays a clear distinction between the Israelites and the Canaanites, modern scholarship suggests that the early Israelites were likely part of the Canaanite population. They may have been rural villagers, displaced peasants, or pastoral groups who gradually coalesced into a distinct group with their own identity and traditions.


And most of that wealth in Israel is imported... setting up and supporting its high tech industry which is now suffering brain drain.
https://www.timesofisrael.com/war-spurs-brain-drain-outflow-of-israeli-high-tech-employees-report-finds/



And pretty much relying on a permanent war economy nowadays
https://www.securityincontext.org/posts/merchants-of-death-israels-permanent-war-economy


But if you want to boil it all down to, Jews are smarter thus they hate them... Maybe learn some history.

Now why Jews (who are not a race) are more intelligent (at least in IQ tests) is because of their religion and traditions. Education!

The Torah strongly promotes education. Jewish tradition places a high value on learning and studying, particularly the Torah itself, and it commands parents to educate their children. This emphasis on education is seen as crucial for both individual development and the continuity of Jewish life and tradition. 

Education, the very thing Trump is dismantling further...

(And why I put at least in IQ tests in parenthesis is because with all that available intelligence Israel has still not found a way to peacefully co-exist with their neighbors)

The rich have enough money that additional taxes will not affect their "life style". 

Besides, we always hear this stuff about taxes and then a tax cut comes around and the only thing that changes is that the rich have more money and the poor have less. We keep cutting taxes and cutting taxes and the rich keep getting richer and the poor don't seem to really be thriving. Suddenly you say that if we raise taxes back up, an economic apocalypse will strike this country... Its all just greed, man. At some point, this country needs to grow some balls and stop catering to billionaires and suits and start fighting for the people who are actually generating the wealth. Cutting taxes won't save us from this wealth inequality nightmare. How about we try literally fucking anything else, eh?

Depends on what you define as rich and what life style they choose to live. Someone who has 3 million dollars in net worth is consider rich to me. If they want to travel a lot and see the world they can. However, they will have to be careful not to overspend or else they will lose all of of their money. A rich billionaire life style might be an entrepreneur who wants to use their money to create new products, services and innovation. That requires a lot of money sometimes.

If you start taxing rich people a lot more they will find ways to recoup their loses. Usually at the cost of the middle class. People end up poor a lot because of their own doing majority of the time. They don't invest and pay off their debt. Then when something comes up like a layoff, they don't have any money and blame everyone else. Even though if they invest their money they would've been fine.

Teachers are a good example on how to become rich. Teachers may not get paid the most but are one of the demographics that become millionaires more frequent than any other profession. Because it is all about time and budgeting.

Not to mention if you tax too much you end up losing more tax revenue. For example, if you tax rich people a much higher rate then the billionaires will leave and stop investing in the United Staes. If you tax middle/poor class too much they will stop working because there will be no point in working.
