31. Thanks Allen (#25) - good point
AurĂ©lie ,   Switzerland   (05.07.11)
I totally agree with you. God bless Israel
32. #8 in Bahrain, buried in the sand?
Michael ,   California, USA   (05.07.11)
How did you accumulate all these stereotypes about Jews? Your opinions smell with mildew for a thousand miles. There is a lot of sand in Bahrain and your brain must be buried in it. But I sense from your comment you feel good burying intelligence in sand. So, have it your way, abi gezunt. I certainly do not measure up to your stereotypes and nobody seems to be quick to hate me (except for some on this Board ...)
33. #14 Raymond. France is full of rich Saudis. why didn't they
kidnap a saudi?   (05.08.11)
France is full of millions of rich Moslems specically rich saudis who never help other Moslem countries. ever hear of Saudi or Kuwait or Dubai donating money to Palestinais? only Europe and U.S help Palis so that rich Arabs won't have to spend their money on other Moslems. In france they killed Ilan becuase he was a Jew not becuase he was rich. they could have gotten so much money from Saudis if they kidnap one of thoes Saudi princes who live in luxury in france and go to university.
34. Per capita: Jews are richest. So What!?
EZ ,   US   (05.09.11)
If you work hard, you can be rich too. What the hell is the big deal!? Jealousy? Please! Envy? C'mon! We believe in the 2 most important things for success: EDUCATION & HARD WORK. Anyone who fufills these two criteria and saves their money will do well too. The truth is, the banks in the US are NOT runs by Jews but by non-Jews: just look up the CEOs and you'll see...r people going around pissing and moaning about that!? Nope! And they're the ones who brought the economies of the world to their knees! They're the ones who screwed over the nations enmass. Bank of England...non-Jews (vicious at that) but the queen herself was smart enough to hire a Rothchild to manage her finances...which is why she didn't lose any $$! LOL! Portugal, Greece, Spain...dead economies. Completely shot. Eu: didn't work out so well. The US: economy tanked during the recession. ISRAEL...NO PROBLEMO! Weathered the storm just fine much to the praise of economists around the world. If you outspend yourself and dont conserve...well, your gonna suck wind and whine like a baby: "the Jews are rich! Blah, blah!". You'd think the work would learn but they don't. NOT A JEWISH PROBLEM. Blame yourselves if you aren't smart with your money. Youre not children!
35. Response
Leah J ,   MA   (05.09.11)
#22, Joe, Very very well put.
36. Amnesia ignorance or denial
Roland ,   N.Y.   (05.09.11)
I just can't, its just phenomenal the denial or ignorance that abounds here in this talkback forum. No one mentioned, and this talkback may be rejected but I got to try, no one mentioned The Trans Atlantic Slave Trade, a 260 year enterprise, a 260 year business facilitated by European industry and ship building and yes Africans and Arabs sold slaves. Just What impact did this industry have on the world economies and enriching families for generations upon generations. 260 years, most businesses have a 3year period of success or failure,This industry the slave trade went beyond this to become an institution. Its just sad that this 260 years is missing from a timely article
37. #7 What's wrong with the word "goy"?
Ola ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (05.15.11)
It's not an insult by any means, it simply means "people" in Hebrew, so what's the fuss about? (I'm not Erudite from Australia)
38. Wealthy Jews
Jenny Nel ,   Secunda, South Afric   (01.05.13)
Interesting article. I was shocked, however, to find very vitriolic anti-Semitic sites on the Web - most of which are strongly supported by religionists (Muslims, Christians). I am sickened by what I read. Such envy and hatred - all in the name of religion. After the terrible persecution of Jews over the ages, we still have people who, in the name of their religion, seek another "solution to the Jewish problem". I consider anyone who works hard and contributes to society a worthy citizen. Religion does not play a role and is merely a screen behind which the biggest hypocrites and cowards hide.
