Sho you right!
I think they have the advantage of having higher than average IQs. This gives them the ability to succeed and that makes everyone else envious. This then plugs into the leftist trope where if you have money you must be a criminal (unless you won the lottery, then it is OK). The upside is that it gets poor people to pay taxes.
Excellent and to the point!
If the Jews were God's chosen people, then the unchosen would naturally resent it and begin to hate the people who were chosen.

On the other hand, you can look Exodus, Deuteronomy and 2nd Samuel for the answer. It’s plainly stated!
Let’s see:
1 - Catholic Church bans its people from lending money but not from borrowing it
2 - So somebody needs to lend money to all these customers
3 - Jews step up
4 - Then they run all the banks
5 - Everybody hates them
Mark Twain expressed very similar thoughts in his 1898 essay “Concerning the Jews” https://americanliterature.com/author/mark-twain/short-story/concerning-the-jews .
Thomas Sowell is a national treasure. Apart from the Covid mess, Trump’s greatest failure as President was not honoring Thomas Sowell.
I’m a Messianic Jew.
It is all about money.
Most people are not very disciplined
with money, we are.
We save, store and prepare.
Read the bible, it is in there.
so in bad times we have things, you
secular idiots do not.
He has that right imho. the 19th century germans from the countryside flocked to cities where jews had worked for centuries. the jews were successful because they had long experience in the roles they were playing. likely the country germans envied the jews their success. after a century or so of city living most germans have got the hang of the demands of urban life. they’ve become successful. now they they’re not so envious.
the current attack on white people in america is similarly motivated by envy.
Jews have been opposed by many people in many different places for thousands of years. Anyone who wants to understand the grievances against Jews can simply look them up. The list of reasons has been well-documented for centuries and has been remarkably consistent over that entire time.
Today in America we have all been conditioned to considered it noble to claim ignorance of this clear historical record, and evil and virtually criminal to have knowledge of this history. This thread is a stark example of this conditioning. The only thing anyone will say here is “People are envious of the Jews’ success.” The actual truth is every single person reading this thread and posting to it could list a half-dozen other major items from the list but will not because it is against the rules to do so.
As the old saying goes, “If you want to know who rules over you, just buy Mel Gibson a few drinks.”
Ishmael: “I’m the first born!”
Isaac: “ sorry bro. Dad screwed up.. and then you came along..”
Ishmael: “I hate you. My descendants will all hate your descendants.”
Many people are ignorant of economics and make up their own wrong conclusions.
The press does not help. I watched the nightly news for years (decades). I don’t recall any mention of supply and demand. It’s not that the press wasn’t interested in wealth and prices and who to blame. They just lacked any background.
We hear of “raising the minimum wage.” How about “outlawing low paying jobs” instead. We hear about price controls with absolutely no realization that shortages might ensue.
What happens when the press hammers “slum landlords”? Many landlords exit the industry. Those who remain become richer than ever as they face less competition. “That wasn’t the idea!” How many times have I heard those words.
When Biden was shutting down pipelines, denying permits to drill on Federal lands and offshore, and otherwise attacking the US oil industry, who realized that he was lining the pockets of other oil producers? Russia and Saudi Arabia were the primary beneficiaries. Biden financed Putin’s war on the Ukraine.
How many people realize that trade, like agriculture and manufacturing, produces wealth?
“Greed,” “usury,” “price gouging,” “rich”, are terms of popular discourse. They are never defined. You can get degrees in economics and not rear or read those terms - and rightfully so.

I love his one word solution for what the Jews can do to stop the hate: he said “fail”. It’s all about envy.
Don't they know that makes other people look--well--lazy and good-for-nothing.
Same reasoning goes for the hatred of white in the west. We succeed.
Revelation 12.
Their success is only part of it. They’re also exclusive, religious/orthodox Jews at least. To set yourself apart, to be resistant to integration into the greater society, is to invite suspicion.
Lump those two together — resentment and suspicion — and you get a roiling cauldron of xenophobia.
It’s human nature, and it’s self-inflicted, but I think the Jews see that as just another of the burdens they bear for being the chosen people.
...In many historical societies including ancient Christian, Jewish, and Islamic societies, usury meant the charging of interest of any kind, and was considered wrong, or was made illegal....
