Spoken just like a certain Austrian with a funny mustache in the '30's. Congratulations on your tribal superiority.

Sadly, no. The Ynet comment section is home to an unusually large number of dullards. If there is a special Jewish wit or genius , don't waste your time looking for it here.

Einstein supported the creation of Israel as the Jewish homeland. He believed in Zionism and raised money for Zionist organizations. He declined the presidency of Israel because he felt he was not qualified for the job.

You are the queen of satire! I enjoyed this tongue in cheek Jewish supremacist stuff. However, it briefly crossed my mind that you are being serious. On second thoughts, surely not. Even you couldn't believe the idiocy of such statements since you would be contradicting the very idea that Jews have 'a mean IQ somewhere north of the stratosphere'.

Einstein wouldn't have been offered Presidency of Israel, if he hadn't been a Zionist! What sense would it make to offer an Anti-Zionist the position? Why is it that Anti-Zionism attracts people who can't think? Think about it, Howard (but then again, how could you?)

I was referring to 'the people who comment on Ynet articles, not to the article. Sarah B has the gift of the gab but there are no other signs of above average wit or intelligence to be found in the talkback section of Ynet.

47. Survival by deception?
Mark Sawyer ,   Carmichael   (01.05.18)
I rather doubt that Jewish accomplishments can be reduced to one trait, and I doubt even more that Biblical narrative has much to do with anything. The more likely connection to storytelling is the chameleon quality of Jewish existence in the Western world, the extreme demands placed upon skills of cosmopolitan adaptability, and from at least the time that Jacob tricked Esau out of his birthright, moral sanctioning of certain inter-ethnic forms of social deception. ..
