lol the person who trained me was Jewish. Learned a lot from him. Used to talk about movies and drink espresso in his office. Probably my favorite teacher. Great guy.
Lol I'm just stirring the pot; I just was at a seder the other day.
Israel isn't a Jewish issue; it's a fucking British one (arguably, through the power structure that flowed into Britain from the Netherlands after the Glorious Revolution through the East India company, which in turn was built on a wealth and power base formed by Venetian bankers...empire all the way down). It just turns out that when you take a downtrodden group and offer them a position of authority if they do what they're told, they often end up being overachievers. Not remotely unique.
Trust or don't trust whoever you want, but yea, no time for collectivism, either in punishment or in sharing out wealth.
