Who are the Israelis?

What about the war crimes of the Palestinians?
Need to be treated just as those committed by Israel (which amounts in regards to Israel since 1948 till today) no actions taken

That radical Zionism is the father of Palestinian terrorism is also Cristal clear.
 
What is there to know? What have the Palestinians achieved during their two thousand years of existance?
They exist for way more then 3000 years - and after some Hebrew tribes started taking over their cities some 2200 years ago - they have never been given the chance for self-rule. - aka no chance for any further achievements.

In 1948 the United Nations granted Israel the right to exist. The Arabs attacked them. The Jews won against enormous odds.

Certainly not as a State - being in constant war with your neighbors isn't a success at all. - it's a FAILURE
Being persecuted and singled out for more then 2400 years isn't a success either - but a horrible FAILURE

And from the people I know personally - Palestinians and Lebanese, are just as capable, successful and innovative as anyone else.

If the Arabs stopped attacking the Jews, the Arabs would stop losing.

Jewish Genius​

Jews are extravagantly overrepresented in every field of intellectual accomplishment. Why?
by Charles Murray

The sparse representation of Jews during the flowering of the European arts and sciences is not hard to explain. They were systematically excluded, both by legal restrictions on the occupations they could enter and by savage social discrimination. Then came legal emancipation, beginning in the late 1700’s in a few countries and completed in Western Europe by the 1870’s, and with it one of the most extraordinary stories of any ethnic group at any point in human history.

As soon as Jewish children born under legal emancipation had time to grow to adulthood, they started appearing in the first ranks of the arts and sciences. During the four decades from 1830 to 1870, when the first Jews to live under emancipation reached their forties, 16 significant Jewish figures appear. In the next four decades, from 1870 to 1910, the number jumps to 40. During the next four decades, 1910–1950, despite the contemporaneous devastation of European Jewry, the number of significant figures almost triples, to 114.

To get a sense of the density of accomplishment these numbers represent, I will focus on 1870 onward, after legal emancipation had been achieved throughout Central and Western Europe. How does the actual number of significant figures compare to what would be expected given the Jewish proportion of the European and North American population? From 1870 to 1950, Jewish representation in literature was four times the number one would expect. In music, five times. In the visual arts, five times. In biology, eight times. In chemistry, six times. In physics, nine times. In mathematics, twelve times. In philosophy, fourteen times.

Disproportionate Jewish accomplishment in the arts and sciences continues to this day. My inventories end with 1950, but many other measures are available, of which the best known is the Nobel Prize. In the first half of the 20th century, despite pervasive and continuing social discrimination against Jews throughout the Western world, despite the retraction of legal rights, and despite the Holocaust, Jews won 14 percent of Nobel Prizes in literature, chemistry, physics, and medicine/physiology. In the second half of the 20th century, when Nobel Prizes began to be awarded to people from all over the world, that figure rose to 29 percent. So far, in the 21st century, it has been 32 percent. Jews constitute about two-tenths of one percent of the world’s population. You do the math.

 
Certainly not as a State - being in constant war with your neighbors isn't a success at all. - it's a FAILURE
as a state, no, it isn't. That other people see the need to attack is a failure on their part
Being persecuted and singled out for more then 2400 years isn't a success either - but a horrible FAILURE
so being a victim is a failure? Being an oppressor is a victory? So might makes right?
 
If the Arabs stopped attacking the Jews, the Arabs would stop losing.
What are you talking about?? the last time Arabs, and e.g. Egypt attacked Israel was in ??? - let me help you 1973.

Since then it is solely Israel - that has been attacking Arab countries, their population and Palestinians
The only time Palestinians managed to hit back in a serious way, was due to the Hamas "incursion"

And how do these 1200 dead in Israel - compare to more then 60,000 dead, Palestinians, Lebanese, Syrians, etc, ONLY since October last year? - not even to mention the irreparable economic damage those Zionist terrorists caused, and are still causing.

But anyway - since you are totally one-sided, and only interested in promoting Zionism and your nonsense about "superior Jews" what is the point of discussing with you??

The 2011 Nobel Prize and the Debate over Jewish IQ​

By Lazar Berman



October 19, 2011

With this month’s announcement from Stockholm that Daniel Shechtman won the 2011 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, Israel adds to its growing list of Nobel laureates. Since 2002, six Israelis have won Nobel prizes. Significantly, none of the Israeli laureates won the Peace Prize, which does not necessarily indicate any great intellectual achievement (or sometimes any achievement at all). Many vastly larger countries with highly educated populations have not outperformed tiny Israel. France has produced six Nobel laureates in the same span, Germany and Russia five, Canada two, and India only one.
Israel’s success in producing Nobel laureates is part of a larger trend that demands explanation. Continuing a century-old pattern, five of the thirteen winners this year are Jewish. Indeed, Jews have long been wildly over-represented in Nobel and similar prizes. In the words of the American Enterprise Institute’s political scientist Charles Murray, “In the first half of the 20th century, despite pervasive and continuing social discrimination against Jews throughout the Western world, despite the retraction of legal rights, and despite the Holocaust, Jews won 14 percent of Nobel Prizes in literature, chemistry, physics, and medicine/physiology. In the second half of the 20th century, when Nobel Prizes began to be awarded to people from all over the world, that figure rose to 29 percent. So far, in the 21st century, it has been 32 percent.”1 Jews constitute about 0.2 percent of the world’s population...

There is ample scholarly work to suggest that Ashkenazi Jews, at least, have significantly higher IQs than surrounding populations. In Natural History of Ashkenazi Intelligence, Gregory Cochran, Jason Hardy, and Henry Harpending of the University of Utah conclude that “Ashkenazi Jews have the highest average IQ of any ethnic group for which there are reliable data. They score 0.75 to 1.0 standard deviations above the general European average, corresponding to an IQ of 112-115 … This fact has social significance because IQ (as measured by IQ tests) is the best predictor we have of success in academic subjects and most jobs. Ashkenazi Jews are just as successful as their tested IQ would predict, and they are hugely overrepresented in occupations and fields with the highest cognitive demands.”5

 
The Palestinians brought it on themselves.
You don’t even know they’re an oppressed people. You know nothing about the history of Palestine. Stop posting until you do.

Look up the following:
Nakba
Operation Cast Lead
Operation Protective Edge
Lebanon War
“Mowing the lawn”

The Jews overcome oppression. The Palestinians complain about oppression and expect people to feel pity for them.

This reasoning pushes me even farther into the realm of speculation. Insofar as I am suggesting that the Jews may have had some degree of unusual verbal skills going back to the time of Moses, I am naked before the evolutionary psychologists’ ultimate challenge. Why should one particular tribe at the time of Moses, living in the same environment as other nomadic and agricultural peoples of the Middle East, have already evolved elevated intelligence when the others did not?

At this point, I take sanctuary in my remaining hypothesis, uniquely parsimonious and happily irrefutable. The Jews are God’s chosen people.
