Heh, heh, don’t insult junkyard dogs; they serve a useful purpose, the guarding of property.
The `palestinian’ is an Arabian MAD dog.
For which there is an age-old solution.

It's not just you. It's popping uping up all over. And it won't end well, for anyone.
Nobody attacks Muslims. They’ll kill you. Atheists and other misguided sorts are too cowardly to risk it (witness the maker of the flop “2012”).
Christians, on the other hand, will forgive you, as Christ commands or ignore, because they were warned that they might be persecuted for Christ’s sake.
Adolf would be proud.
I think they would be wrong on that point regardless.
Resent data I think would show that the Asian races (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) are the most intelligent.

Jews aren’t a race. Moreover, the results of IQ studies can be skewed in lots of ways. Interesting that whoever it was who flamed you seemed to be implying that a lack of European genes weakened the Sephardic Jews’ IQ.
Even the hardest core hereditarians only claim that IQ is about 80% genetic. Others peg the hereditary contribution at about 60%.
Yes, but Abraham wandered into the Holy land from Ur, which is in southern Iraq, Moses from Egypt. I am highly skeptical of any movement that claims racial purity.
I think it has more to do with the high value many Jews place on THINKING and LEARNING, not just on education. Knowledge without wisdom and/or imagination is not a good thing.
If Asians are so much smarter, why did they need to copy technology from which they made most of their advances? They haven’t really created anything for millenia.
“Yes, but Abraham wandered into the Holy land from Ur, which is in southern Iraq, Moses from Egypt. I am highly skeptical of any movement that claims racial purity.”
Then I guess you’d be classified as a “skeptic”?
Add all that together, and don't you have very solid legitimacy right there? Completely irrespective of genetic and biblical claims?
I ask this in all sincerity, looking for your perspective. Because it seems to me that the grounds I listed above, no one of them in itself, but added together, are solidly persuasive. Better, in my view, than the racial/Scriptural grounds, because not open to charges of racism, Torah-vs-Koran fisticuffs, and so forth.
What say?
That is a gross misunderstanding of who the Hebrews are. When the “slaves” left Egypt, there was a racial mixture far beyond anything that could be qualified as anything close to “racial purity.”
The claim to racial purity was nazi. There is not now, and there will never be, a “pure” race.
That would make me one who doesn't drink Kool-aid of any flavor.
That is exactly my point. Jewish is a faith, not a race. There is some level of genetic uniformity within certain groups of Jews because they were a closed society with little intermarriage for centuries. If a legitimate genome were performed on all of the peoples of the middle east it would reveal that many Jews were of European ancestry and that many Arabs had Jewish roots.
“Then I guess you’d be classified as a “skeptic”?”
That would make me one who doesn’t drink Kool-aid of any flavor.”
What if God asked you to take something on faith?
This is a timely article. There is another one now revealing that Africans were never black, but instead, are the descendents of the Atlantis Perogeum people that evolved in Atlantis and used genetic manipulation to turn their pale skins black so as to better survive the high radiation levels from the Sunlight in Africa when they migrated there in their giant solar-powered flying umbrella ships once they learned that their homeland was about to be destroyed by now extinct reptilian sea monsters. What a coincidence!
I read a couple of Arthur Koestler’s books but “The Thirteenth Tribe” wasn’t one of them. I think the books were “Arrow in the Blue” and “The Invisible Writing”. He’s an excellent writer.
“Is it just me, or is anti-semitism becoming the next cool cause du jour? “
It’s a golden oldie. But some folks like to toss the term about promiscuously, much like charges of racism, so such accusations shouldn’t be taken at face value.
Of fiction?
