It is widely believed among some Muslim peoples that US is "run by Jews" (Holocaust Museum being in DC is the evidence). I am not a Muslim. I know that Jews are rich financially, are cognitively sharp, have a strong culture and dominate Hollywood. What do you think about this perception among the Muslim?

"Run by Jews" is putting the case far too strongly, but Jews are very disproportionately represented among the US elite. Jews are about 2% of the US population, but about 30% of Ivy League students, for example. Jews do also tend to be better off than most, and that is probably because of both the culture, which values financial success, and genes. Call me racist, but I'm pretty sure that Jews are generally smarter than average and that it's genetic. And they definitely dominate Hollywood. That's no secret. There are mainstream books about it:

When Israels formation was up for a vote they extorted and threatened every delegate that wouldn't go along including Truman by voting as a block in NY and using press next election cycle if he went against them.

Muslims pretty much got along with Jews until Jews started creating Israel.

I agree. I am friends with a Jewish family. Their kid is a Math genius and very polite too. Going to Harvard to study Math in August.

I don't know if Muslims got along with Jews before pre-Israel. The hatred of Jews is built into Islamic religious literature.

Patrick says

That's my opinion too. Clearly Jews were massacred in large numbers, but the other massacres are largely ignored.

When I visited my grandmother's hometown in Poland, the Poles were quite eager to tell me about the massive number of Poles killed by the Nazis, including two of my own relatives. We just don't hear about that particular massacre over here.

Because a certain ethnic group controls the media....

The Middle East was a safe haven for Jewish people for centuries while the Inquisition was raging.

Zionists are short sighted assholes. They don't know the prolonged history of the Jewish people. The idea of "Judeo-Christian culture" is bullshit - that is fiction created in the last century. That did NOT exist in 1930. Zionists are just thugs, and they aren't necessarily Jewish. However, they hide behind "Jews", and it's part of the reason that the holocaust is exaggerated in favor of Jews only and why so many people think they were the most persecuted group ever. It's a shield.

It might be more proper to think of Zionists as just a criminal syndicate. They don't give a damned about Jewish people, they care about themselves exclusively. Israel is just a safe haven for them if they ever get held accountable - Israel doesn't have extradition.

Engh, the whole damned thing is a mess. It will work itself in time.

Depends on the definition of time. I don't think so, though. But I hope you are right.

Sorry, but Zinn above is full of beans. Poverty does not cause crime, just compare the crime rate of the Roaring Twenties with the Great Depression. I will agree that the crimes of the rich and powerful do go unpunished.

Okay, then what do you think causes crime? I was robbed of about $100 in a poverty and blight ridden area of Cleveland many years back. All the robbers were white and they set me up. These 6 individuals were likely poor and looking for money to buy drugs with. They had little to loose. This was probably not their first crime.
My bicycle got stolen last month from my open garage. Probably, someone who was looking for drug money was involved, that's my theory.

Opportunity and lack of morals. Notice the crime spree caused when California stopped prosecuting shoplifting under $950, it was not food that was being taken. Now as you say, feeding an addiction can lead to thefts by desperate addicts. But that would be an easy crime to prevent, just supply free drugs to addicts in a group camp and let them waste away. Fixing "poverty" would have no affect on drug crime.

Agreed. Poverty does promote crime to a certain extent, but it's far less than people are led to believe. Also the standard of living for "poor" people is much higher these days - at the expense of the middle and upper (not to be confused with the uber wealthy) class - yet so is crime

You make good points. I will think about this perspective. In my case, I didnt feel too bad when my bicycle got stolen. But I did report it to police, not sure why. 30 years back, I was poor and probably I would have felt bad about it.

This is the entire quote:
I am convinced that imprisonment is a way of pretending to solve the problem of crime. It does nothing for the victims of crime, but perpetuates the idea of retribution, thus maintaining the endless cycle of violence in our culture. It is a cruel and useless substitute for the elimination of those conditions -- poverty, unemployment, homelessness, desperation, racism, greed--which are at the root of most punished crime. The crimes of the rich and powerful go mostly unpunished. It must surely be a tribute to the resilience of the human spirit that even a small number of those men and women in the hell of the prison system survive it and hold on to their humanity. - Howard Zinn, You Can't Be Neutral on a Moving Train: A Personal History of Our Times

Democracy depends on citizens being informed, and since our media, especially television (which is the most important source of news for most Americans) reports mostly what the people in power do, and repeats what the people in power say, the public is badly informed, and it means we cannot really say we have a functioning democracy. – Howard Zinn, Huffington Post, Jan. 28, 2010

I know a couple of families that live on government funds due to 'disability'. One of them used to fuck her lawyer to pay legal fee and the lawyer finally got her on the disability due to a 'slipped disc'. They have a pretty good and comfortable life.

Hatred for every thing except Islam is built into Islam. Muslim don't get along with anyone. Mayanmar buddhist , all variations of Hindus in india, Sikhs in west Punjab where now there are no Sikhs left. All borders with jewish Isreal and Christians.

They got along pretty well. They never had an extermination program for Jewish people, like Europe did.

Still, Islam is generally pretty screwed up. The reason they don't have a huge African population despite importing something like 4x the number of slaves from Africa, is they castrated all their slaves.

Do you know any source (book, article...)of this castration of slaves?

Why did Muslim slave owners castrate their slaves?

I left my wallet in NC at a restaurant way back in the day. I called the restaurant, and asked them to ship my wallet back to me, less the postage fees. They did that, to the nearest dollar. To this day I respect country folk. Most times, they're considered "white trash," but let me tell you, if you treat them with respect (and they're not on meth), they will reciprocate.

The most shameful experience I had with my ex-jewish girlfriend was one time, when we were walking into a grocery store. A black mother was fastening her daughter into a stroller. Her daughter was an albino black. My liberal jewish grilfriend turned to me eagerly and asked me "Did you see it, did you see it?" I responded, "Yes, I saw *her*, she's a human being too." That was the second major strike against her. I knew then that despite her posturing that she was truly a racist.
