Actually, Jewish scholars aren’t unanimous on that. Most agreed that usury was only allowed when the recipient is goy, while others thought the practice is forbidden altogether (just like Christians and Muslims).

Well I am no expert, but my understanding is that the Torah essentially says borrowing money is bad, and lending money is good.
What this means is they became bankers. And you know how much the banks make. This may have also helped create animosity, as few people like the person they owe money to.
I always thought they were not allowed to hold land in Christian feudal Europe and money lending was one of the ways they could support themselves.
Anyone know if this is true?

I don’t think of it as ‘taking advantage’ but more of taking one of very few options.
Saying Jews took ‘advantage’ is like saying a black man in 1950s Alabama took advantage of an opening for a janitor position.

I didn’t know your ass could type, but apparently it does, because you keep typing out of it. The truth is that most of the people who complete their military duty become successful people. It is precisely because of the education they receive in the military and the educational benefit military service pays for.

I bet JTF build little models of ovens and showers. He’s probably got a little train set running around a little Auschwitz. I can seem him now, torching little figurines with a cooking torch and arranging them in stacks.

But let’s say I got them all. That means that more than half the names on the list of the 100 people who are the most vital to this society are Jewish. And this is a list that includes Apple’s Steve Jobs and Oprah and Bill Clinton and Warren Buffett, to name a few of the few non-Jews on the list.
That is absolutely nothing short of astounding.

Holy shit, you are right, Bill Clinton “vital to this society”, that is astounding!
I guess I missed the part where blow-jobs and playing hide the cigar was vital to American. My mistake.

I could have swore Oprah was Jewish…
I’m not going to go into why the jews are prominent in the elite circles, but I will definitely say they have played a huge role in this country going downhill. The Jews are taking us all for a ride at our expense and so many Americans are stupid enough to jump right on the jew train.
The Vanity Fair article in no way makes me think how wonderful the jews are, rather it highlights how dangerous they are to the future of this country. It also explains why we give more money to the Zionist government of Israel than all other countries combined. If the jews are so prominent and influential, as they are, then why haven’t they done anything to improve this country and preserve our way of life?
Does anyone actually think the Islamic Palestinians are unaware of this strong association we have with the jews? Jews and Palestinians are ancient enemies. The Palestinians now view us as one in the same with the Jews. This is one of two main reasons why we have become hated so much by people like Bin Laden.
Jew =/= Zionist.
Thank you, have a nice day dumb fuck.

Indeed. But it’s funny how often the amalgam is made in order to label people opposing Zionism as anti-semitic.
Back to the point: a very significant proportion of the world Jewry is Zionist. Not surprisingly, there are probably more Zionists in America than there are in Israel itself.

Is that why you believe American civilians are a legitimate target?

It ain’t funny Zap. No civilian in a legitimate target.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I’m not aware of any mainstream Palestinian/Lebanese/Syrian resistance movement who legitimizes attacks of American civilians, even though their territories are occupied by Israel. On the other hand, I see plenty of rationalization for the dead Iraqi kids courtesy of the US army (or Blackwater for that matter).
Edit: misformed tag.

I have wondered why my mother, a German Jews, came to the United States instead of going to Palestine. Of course, research opportunities and funding was here. But it also strikes me — to live in Palestine would have meant being surrounded by absolute lunatics. Anyone who would start ALL of this insanity over this tiny strip of land… The Arabs are like Martha Stewart and her stock swindle: a woman worth billions who MUST squeeze every dime until Roosevelt screams.
Seriously Lixy, the non-Muslim world should regard Muslims who go nuts over this crap as suitable for an insane asylum. What a bunch of just purely stupid animals…

Hezbollah has done it’s share attacking civilians of all nations, the US included:

You were the one that mentioned no one was going to shed tears for American civilians if we take efforts to prevent Iran from building nukes. I just wondered if this was why.

Nah. That comment wasn’t about the use of force to stop [insert country from the axis of evil du jour here] from getting [insert dubious WMD program here]. It was about HH’s imperialistic calls for genocide to secure oil.
