Jews dominate business sectors that have taboos against them... hmm I wonder why? It must be a sign Jews are evil! Nothing to do with that they were limited in their business opportunities while statistically being near the most intelligent (based off IQ) people in the world...
Middle-Eastern Jews are less intelligent than Europeans for example, but more intelligent than Middle Easterners.
My initial comment only spoke to the fact that the State of Israel did not exist until 140 years after the end of the Trans-Atlantic slave trade.
To your comment, the modern State of Israel is dominated by Diaspora/Commercial "jews" who have little, if any, actual ties to the region of Jewish Palestine. The majority of them are European. Jews with actual ties to the region tend to be from the Haredi sects and, by and large, oppose the increasingly secularist State of Israel and "zionism" and are treated even worse than the West Bank occupiers. You rarely hear much about them.
Sure, that is probably a better way to label it and delve into a bit more detail, also to be fair I did qualify it with "near".
Its one of the best examples that you can 100% breed smarter humans.... but ya know if you do the whole inbreeding thing you also get genetic diseases. I don't really think its fully "unintentional", what with Jewish mothers in general or patriarchs in orthodox communities, but I think it would be fair to say "unplanned" in that there was nothing orchestrated from the top.
You can see it also in East Asians and South Asians particularly tracking bureaucratic/priestly/brahmin type casts.
Definitely a lot of possible explanations, seems to me it must be a combination of selection pressures but everybody has their own opinion. I think it really does beg many interesting questions and further study but youre right in that we will probably never get a truly definitive answer.
Aah yes its clearly those bad people who secretly run everything!
Isn't thinking one group of people is so incredibly superior they run everything while being just a tiny % of the world population pretty demoralizing?
Ummm....
