A list of puns related to "The Invention of the Jewish People"
With all the tree planting going on right now, I thought everyone should know this is a thing
Iβm genuinely interested. In this case, why canβt Italians throw people all over the Mediterranean out of their homes because their ancestors had conquered them?
Not anti-Zionist, generally supportive of Israel.
And you should be angry when people try to say something negative about your culture. And I'm curious how Ben would feel if it were Jewish people in ICE camps. If he'd be making the same callous, cruel statements because reminder, you cuckolds:
FACTS DON'T WHATEVER ABOUT FEELINGS, AND SHIT!
But no seriously, I'm curious how people are this blind to this type of hypocrisy, and how a man who tries to delegitimize entire diverse cultures, poisoning the well in immensely unfair, fallacious ways... Can even function at a basic level. "MY GROUP IS IMPORTANT, DON'T SAY YOU HATE YAMAKA'S!" *Turns around* "Get rid of all the muslims. They wanna stone women and rape people and blow up buildings. I know they get all triggered like a bunch of pussies when I say that, but facts don't care about your feelings. I'm not sorry. Stop being so easily offended." Lol ughhh.
EDIT 1:
Wow, I didn't think this question would be this popular. The reason I'm asking is that I came across a similarity between Jesus's teaching in Matthew 22: 21 and a phrase in the Epic of Gilgamesh when Ea is talking to Enlil about the reasoning behind sending a flood. Not sure how accurate the translation is but according to Omnibus I: Biblical and Classical Civilizations edited by Douglas Wilson, G. Tyler Fischer (pg. 39) it states it as accurate. I noticed it in the translation from N. K. Sandars's English version of the Epic of Gilgamesh, which is given below.
(NIV)
21 βCaesarβs,β they replied.
Then he said to them, βSo give back to Caesar what is Caesarβs, and to God what is Godβs.β
22 When they heard this, they were amazed. So they left him and went away.
Lay upon the sinner his sin, Lay upon the transgressor his transgression,
Punish him a little when he breaks loose, Do not drive him too hard or he perishes; Would that a lion had ravaged mankind Rather than the flood, Would that a wolf had ravaged mankind Rather than the flood, Would that famine had wasted the world Rather than the flood, Would that pestilence had wasted mankind Rather than the flood
The Jewish peoples aren't numerous, they account for roughly 0.2% of the world's population. Using global numbers wont be very reliable, as most Jewish people live in the U.S, so I'll be using numbers from there.
There are an estimated 7,000,000 Jews living in the United States. That makes them out to be 2% of the American Population. Despite this, they make up around 20-30% of American billionaires, depending on how you define "Jewish" So, split the difference, we'll say 25%. That's a 1250% over-representation.
Is this all due to the conventional wisdom that "Jews are hard workers, they're smart and entrepreneurial,"?
Personally, I don't buy into the "American Dream", that anyone can be a billionaire if you work hard enough. The American economy isn't completely meritorious. However, in general, hard-work and financial responsibility will land you a comfortable life, which is probably why Jewish Americans are under-represented in individuals under the poverty line, and around 45% of Jewish families earn over 100,000 dollars a year in salaries.
I don't believe that achieving billionaire status can be achieved solely through intelligence and hard work, there are thousands of factors, and the largest contributor is probably luck.
So how can this be?
(Also I'm not implying the conspiracy that Jews control the world. I'm genuinely just trying to start a dialogue.)
Just for clarification, I'm not saying it shouldn't be regarded as a Jewish tragedy, of course it should. But it just seems like Jews/Poles should share the "victimhood" of that terrible time.
My girlfriend asked me this when I was watching something about WWII and it really got me thinking it? Did they just shoot them? Thatβs what I assume.
Thanks!
Basically, do they become a tabula rasa all over again?
Okay, Honest question time for you guys on here. Why do some people have such a dismissive or downright negatively hostile reaction to just the concept of time travel? If you bring it up to them, their immediate, within five seconds reaction is, "Yeah, it doesn't exist", "Don't be retarded, that crap is science fiction", "It's impossible, why are you even bothering to discuss it?" It's beyond perplexing, really. Scientists have already admitted that time travel is actually doable within the laws of physics as it's currently known, heck, some have held TED talks about it even. The scientific community has begun steadily increasing their acceptance and discussion of the subject as this century has gone on. I can understand that not everyone has seen them, but it still puzzles me. Is this a reaction similarly to why some people will react so negatively to the idea of an afterlife, a heaven and hell and spirits, because it challenges and shatters their views on life and the world? Is even the idea really that it is real and reachable really that harmful to their view on reality, that mentally jarring? What's you guys' opinions?
