Cole Porter wrote a great song "You're the Tops"
In my opinion the Jews are the "Top". They're statistically smarter, they invent and innovate more per capita than any other group. Look at the Nobel prizes Jews have won, all out of proportion with any other racial group. Their culture breeds excellence; hard work, emphasis on education and study are what make them great. That's why they achieve as much as they do, no matter what country they live in. We're all a bunch of knuckle draggers compared to the best of the Jews.
Also Vision, the reason the Jews became such rich bankers is because Christian custom and law throughout the Middle Ages and even into the Renaissance, forbid Christians from being money handlers, so the Jews became our bankers, gold and silver smiths.
So much of the hatred of the Jews is pure envy and it is evil.
And I say this as a Roman Catholic Austrian/Pole who in a not too distant past may have sent my Jewish neighbors to the death camps. The Jews that came out of that horrific experience were resolved to have a homeland where "Never Again" would they be subject to the hatred and power of the people in their adopted lands.
Now they have their own homeland and they will keep it or like Samson they will take out themselves with dignity and kill all their surrounding enemies.

Are you sure........
KNIGHTS TEMPLAR
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', '*')The Knights Templar were organized as a military priesthood in the Catholic church.
*In 1156, under the administration of Bertrand de Blanchfort, the Knights imported to the area of Rennes le Chateau, a contingent of German speaking miners. Their alleged task was to work the gold mines on the slopes of the mountains of Blanchfort, gold mines that had been utterly exhausted by the Romans nearly a thousand years before. But the truth,which was revealed later, was that they were not mining. Instead, they were “smelting, perhaps melting something down, constructing something out of metal, perhaps even excavating a subterranean crypt of some sort and making a species of repository”. (bk-1,93)
*Almost immediately afterwards, the Templars created and established the institution of modern banking. By lending large sums to destitude Monarchs, they became the bankers for every throne in Europe. With their network of preceptories throughout Europe and the Middle East, they also organized at moderate interest rates, the safe and efficient transfer of money for merchant traders. Money deposited in one city, for example, could be claimed and withdrawn in another by means of a promissory note inscribed in intricate codes. The Templars thus became the primary money changers of the age, and the Paris preceptory became the center of European finance. It is even probable that the “check” as we know and use it today was invented by the order. (bk-1,71)

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Pops', 'S')o the entire world is at the mercy of 100-some warheads? No wonder Iran wants some.
I am not sure what you are saying but if it is that the world is defferential to Israel due to its nuclear arsenal then Id argue against that. I think Israel has had a sort of special status within many in the west since its inception. The reasons are varying but include guilt at the holocaust and millenia of persecution, the (racist to be fair) perception of Israelis as 'us' (of European origin) vs the arabic 'other', its democratic nature and for religious reasons. Pakistan and India have nuclear arsenals but dont get the same kind of treatment. If thats not what you meant can you clarify for me?
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('DomusAlbion', 'W')hich is why Iran should be prevented from having them, along with N Korea and all other small despotic, totalitarian regimes. Nukes are about power and if someone is to wield power it should be us and our friends.
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Pops', '
')And if they are such a loose cannon, what makes them different than any other unstable nation with WMD?
I am being picky here but I really dislike the term "WMD", its so vague and open to misrepresentation. I prefer the term CNB,chemical, nuclear, biological.
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('DomusAlbion', 'N')ote that one sixth of its citizens (within the borders of Israel) are Arabs, mostly Muslims, who vote, are in the legislature and serve in its armed forces.
