I am sure this article will show up on every anti-Semitic hate site on the internet showing how racist Jews are. Exhibit A for Jewish Supremacism conspiracy theory. Bad headline, pointless subject --take it off the site.

Let's see the article in full firtst. (Ynet... could you provide a source URL please?) It will be interesting to note if Murray takes into account the fact that Jewish culture is big on education, and that Jews have a long history of literacy that other cultures do not. Basing the conclusion on just the number of Nobel Prize winners is just too simplistic for any real social researcher.

amazing how god's blessing works, no?

Jews are not a very homogeneous group. We come in all colors, shapes, & sizes. So I fail to see a genetic connexion - it's perhaps a cultural phenomenon .

Olmert, Peretz - virtually the whole lot of them seem to have a combined IQ no greater than my shoe size.

I had enough of this crap during my school days at the xtian missionary school.It was a NIGHTMARE to be clever in missionary schools !

and Mohammed's wife was 13 according to the Koran so that makes him a paedophile by today's standards in most countries. Just trying to prove that statements like the one you made are rarely black and white. Einstein was proud of his Judaism and suffered at first hand Nazi persecution and as a result didnt was to be political at all...

swings and roundabouts!!

as a pals i do believe they have a high IQ, not becuase "GOD CHOSEN PPL" crap, simply cause of oppression in europe and asia lead to survival for the fittest... does not though give them carte blanche to occupy & oppress....remember Einstein REFUSED to be the 1st president of israel cause he did not believe in zionism or this state....if the smartest man thinks so, maybe, just maybe he has a point!!!

With all that glorious history of xenophobia and inbreeding, going back to Biblical times, one might think that the Chosen People would be congenital idiots by now. So much then for the dubious concept of "hybrid vigor". Israel should consider striking down its incest laws, if this "research" is valid. While most members of our species, Homo sapiens, are obviously bastardized mongrels, the Jewish People have managed to perfect the breed - Pure-bred Jews, not Aryan Ubermensch, are the new overlord wannabes. Achtung Goyim! Let's see some stats on the rates of mental retardation for Jews and gentiles; perhaps there is a correlation there too. Is Mr. Murray Jewish, or just a fawning and obsequious neocon submissive?

Authority in Israel currupts..

We also have most stupid and dumb people within us. You don't trust me, check the list of today's Israeli cabinate!

Just as good, look at the Knesset. On second thought, the MK's are pretty smart - big salaries, benefits, & they don't do anything much except make speeches & eat mofletas to get a few votes. All kidding aside, Jews generally work harder, plan ahead, and are willing to make sacrifices to achieve success. If there's a genetic componant, I doubt if it means much.

Jewish Supremacy at its best.

Its not too complicated. 5000 years of selective breeding for intelligence will pay off. I suppose the same reults are in China . Hey, poodles can be bred for intelligence.

As I continued to read the article in Commentary, the agruments for his silly position became vaguer and thinner. They finally petered out complete about the time of the Babylonian Exile. If you believe this claptrap, you are definitely not one of 'the smart ones'.

of course.

He was active in the establishment of the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, which published (1930) a volume titled About Zionism: Speeches and Lectures by Professor Albert Einstein, and to which Einstein bequeathed his papers. In later life, in 1952, he was offered the post of second president of the newly created state of Israel, but declined the offer, saying that he lacked the necessary skills. However, Einstein was deeply committed to the welfare of Israel and the Jewish people for the rest of his life.

You just to paranoid.Fact is fact & Jewish intellectual capacity is well documented & something to be proud of.Anti-semites dont need to find excuses to be haters. Proud Jew.

Why care about antisemitic enviers? Let them with their filthy hate consuming them! Let us keep on the way we know and be proud of it,more and more!

I think that's a very subjective, eletist and ignorant statement....ACTUALLY asians have the highest rated IQ in the world....and there are other factors making this subjective. including cultural, social economical.....if you had an equal model of people to choose from (same living situations....would be completely different). Jewish people feel pressure to succeed while the goy are commonly lulled and medicated into other interests because of ego and ease of environment. There is no doubt of the scientific genius found in Israel.....but its not DNA that determines dedication, drive and success.
