Problem with Arabs is that they refuse to use wealth to better the human experience or to solve the Arab-Israeli impasse. They will surely be held accountable on the Day of Judgement.

Israel does not recieve a penny in economic aid from the US. It only recieves military aid.

In my life, I have never seen the economy so bad than it is after three years of Obama. Millions of Americans have been hurt. Jews are no exception. Israelis should not even think about coming here. Everyone I know in my Jewish neighborhood is struggling to pay their bills. There are no jobs. Businesses are going under, stores are closing, and people are losing their homes. The prices of food, energy, goods, and health insurance are skyrocketing. One of my friends just took her kids out of Jewish school because she can't afford it anymore. We are all cutting back or going without. Charitable donations are way down, too. That means less money to help Israel. California is particularly bad and will get worse because of the new "cap and trade" green energy law that will kill what is left of business here.

No ones says because the laws of criticizing Jews and the legal backlash of "telling it like it is" (not to mention the defamation and shunning of Jewish people in the know) stands in the way of true righteousness and justice. "A weight and a weight" is true among these wealthy? Lets just sum it up as "strategy" and "networking" at its best and at its worst too. But look at the nation of Israel and see, the money dumped into it doesn't go to support the oppressed native Israelis. It isn;t now and it wont be in the future either. American investors in restaurants and high tech have found out how Israel runs and have seen successful formulas thwarted in Israel by shadow groups "OC". American Jewish wealth being dumped into Israel is like a black hole and the a few of the wealthy that reached out to Israel reeled back their hand from the infliction of bad business practices and losses. The American Jewish population that holds the wealth didn't get there by tolerating or being friars. I wouldn't hold out hope for any change soon.

Damn surveys and statics always inaccurate…What about jews from Azerbaijan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and etc..Mainly are Juhuro (Gorskie) and Bukharian Jews…your article only mentions jews from eastern Soviet Union blocks

We aren't all rich. My wife and I struggle to save any money and can't afford to buy a house. Bit of generalization this article.

1. "Those who do not identify with the faith, are not Jewish"- your opinion only; per Jewish law, if their mother is Jewish they are Jewish. 2. "have not been affiliated with Judaism in any way for several generations. This would require them to convert if they were to renew their faith." Not true. There is no Jewish law requiring this. 3. Freemasons believe in a Supreme Being, but they leave that definition to each member. There values (eg charity and kindness) are akin to Judaism. They are not a religion, although in your opinion you might think so. I know many Jews who are members; they tell me there is no conflict. Many are Shriners (a higher level of Mason) that enjoy helping the many Shriners [Children's] Burns Centers here in the US. 4. Posting opinions is ok; that's what this is about. Making statements as if they are true when they are not, is, in my opinion, not ok.

Though education is a very important element in the making of a successful person in a society, it is only one. The other is the environment , familial, communal, and, a sociatal, in which the person find himself. And here is where the culture, more likely, the 'Jewish civilisation' whith all what it entails, comes into play. During the Sephardic Golden Age, the same experience happened to the Jewish communities when their contribution to the advancement of human condition was also high. Though there were great Muslim and Christian minds who contributed in various field, but not as much as the Jewish minority, and there were quite extra wealthy individuals and families.

most of the 5.5 million american jews they are counting are assimilated out or intermarried. the core of religious and identified jews is about 1 million. they will give to specific (generally religious but not always) instititions. religious christians give large amounts already. israel has a gdp of over 200 billion. does it really need the money of a few assimilated leftist jews who give to peace now?

Unfortunately he left out brains. That could explain the difference.

...i take that back, I guess, as I've seen a lot of crud written on this website. But this article is the most disgusting one I have seen yet. If anybody else needs a proof of Zionist conspiracy one merely needs to look here. I am truly disgusted with the captions, photos, and pure anti-semitism that is apparent in this article. Were it written anywhere else it would be decried for what it is: a piece of anti-semitic crud.

There are much more poor jews in the world. Most of those who are wealthy got there by hard work and thrift.

plus we are hard working.Our history in the world made us this way, the holocaust and anti Semitism.

As per Halacha (and common sense) if several generations pass without affiliation to Judaism (religious or nationalist) the person is longer automatically Jewish. He/she would be required to get a technical conversion before marrying another Jew. - Freemasons have an elaborate hierarchy. It may not conflict with a persons Jewish faith up to a certain level, but there comes a point where your allegiance must undoubtedly lie with the Freemason ideology, and at that point it is most definitely a conflict of interest to remain faithful to Judaism.

classified as a blood libel! Tani Goldstein have you checked out how the non-wealthy American Jews live?

American Jews have high secular education, but unfortunately the majority have little or no Jewish education. This is the major reason for all of the intermarriage and assimilation.

1. Where in Halacha? Please be explicit. 2. Give details of your statement vis-a-vis the Freemasons. What is that point where there must 'undoubtedly' be a conflict and what is that conflict? How can it be a conflict if Freemasons do not allow discussion of religion, so as to leave each one to his own? Or are you saying that one who believes in charity and kindness has a conflict with Judaism? Please be specific as all I hear are generalities. Thank you.

only the strong survive persection which these sterotypes invite--look out when 'social democrats' run out of other people's money to spend they will read ynet and come after you know who as always 'in every generation'

His Father & Mother are both Jewish and so is his co-founder Larry Page is also 100% Jewish. So is Larry Ellison, Steve Ballmer, Craig Newmark from Craigs List etc. Including Zuckerberg the internet is dominated by Jews :)

us do national service in the I.D.F. and reserve duty. Not to mention high taxes to support a useless and bloated government, parasites in "yeshivas",paying child allowances to those that never served in the army and absorbing hundreds of thousands of new immigrants, some of them sick, some elderly and some not even Jewish. That is why we will never be rich. Just a few of us and many of them exploit the rest of us with the help of the knesset and unions.

This comment will not be posted on Y-Net since the Y-Net moderator has a policy of not publishing items that have factual information delivered in a respectful manner without the use of profanity or ad hominem attacks Nevertheless: Why not an article about Russian oligarchs of Jewish descent, who somehow became phenomenally rich after the disintegration of the former Soviet Union? Living in a communist country with few opportunities for economic advancement other than corruption, where did they get the money to buy up so many of the assets which were privatized during perestroika? Many live in Israel and divide their time between Israel, Russia and the US. Some are religious people, some are crime bosses, but I dare say that Jews of Russian descent (including dual nationals) make up a significant percentage of the wealthiest Israelis--a. larger percentage than Jews do the wealthiest Americans. Many of them are now "yordim," having left Israel once they had played the "Free Soviet Jews" game for all it was worth and milked unsuspecting American Jews--rich and not so rich-- for all they were worth. THAT story won't be published on Y-Net. Neither will this post. One is only allowed to attack Americans on this anti-American hate-filled site.

It is outrageous that the answer to this question was reduced to "they studied more." Really? It had NOTHING to do with access? NOTHING to do with the fact that the Jews who migrated here were vastly European and did not have brown skin - which always has and still does hinder progress in the USA? I thought this article was satire, initially. It is incredible, over-simplistic propaganda.

I guess Finland doesn't need any help from Jews. Right Jouko?

What a stereotypic and prejudiced article, that in my mind proves conclusively that the Jews do NOT own the media. NO one in my family is anywhere near rich - despite all of us being highly educated and working our tails off!! I am proud of having a doctorate but unfortunately my degree is close to being utterly worthless from a financial point of view. My sister is a physician with a practice but after she pays her employees she makes LESS THAN THE MINIMUM WAGE!! However, she loves helping people and she (so far) refuses to quit doing what she does. I think we live in a society where too many people (Jews and non-Jews alike) think that wealth is somehow a sign from G-d. As far as I can tell, there is no commandment in the bible saying "thou shalt be rich!". There are commandments, however, instructing us to be charitable, respectful, and to serve our fellow man. That's what Judaism is all about. Someone ought to tell the author of this article.

You forgot to mention the key area of jewish expertise...FINANCE. Once in control of the European and US central banks, the writing was on the wall for the host country. Pretty well explains the wealth transfer into the Rothschild dominated industry. Usury is the key. Theft is the aim and owning it all is the end game. We had no world wars(the ultimate profit maker) before the Federal Reserve was established. Now we're on the brink of a third, thanx to the moneychangers.

I have nothing against Americans, on the contrary. But to say they are such a rich nation is nuts. They are one of the poorest nations on Earth. Donald Trump, when he was a billion dollars in debt, said it's crazy to think that a hobo on the street, worth $0, was a billion dollars wealthier than he was at the time. That's the facts of life. America is not wealthy, but extremely poor. Spending other people's money may give you the appearance of wealth, but it's just that, an appearance, an illusion. The problem comes in when you want to collect the debt. America is the most powerful military force on Earth. No country wants to collect on that debt. Should American right now be obliged to pay all their debts, the true state of wealth would be exposed to such an extent that even a fool wouldn't need an explanation like this to understand it fully.

So are you saying that God approves of all those who are trafficking in stolen organs and white sex slavery?

The Talmud which teaches that it is acceptable to lie, cheat, and steal from non-jews (98% of population). Yes, I can see how that would make one more likely to become wealthy. "whenever Jews have been allowed to prosper, the countries they lived in prospered also, e.g. the US. " This statement could not be anymore wrong as the opposite is true. It is the Jews use of usury and control of the financial empire including the Federal Reserve that has enslaved the most Americans to extreme debt. Why else have the Jews been expelled from over 106 countries, more that any other group combined, not because of prosperity I assure you.

It's really happen ?

The Abandonment of Israel’s Poor

Shalom Friends, Israel needs your help.

Help poor children of Israel who cannot afford meat for the holidays. We need 12 of you to donate $50,000, or 600 of you to donate $1000 each. http://longhornproject.org 650-631-9270

I gave up some of my food money for this month to help this project. What will you give up for it?


Thank you for your Courage and Moral Strength.
