They also seem really good at winning Nobel prizes for scientific endeavors and math.

It is the genetic influence of intellect combined with the history of discrimination that pushed Some of them into banking....

That has created a higher Number of Jewish people who are extremely wealthy.

I am extremely more prone to believe that it is the games that extremely wealthy play and not Judaism that is the blame. Just consider Bill Gates... a “Christian”

You and AOC are wrong...

“In context, usury in the Old Testament was when a fellow Jew would charge interest to a fellow Jew. There was no requirement set for interest on a loan to those outside the household of faith,” Burns said. “For example, after the Babylonian captivity, the Jews were rebuilding their homes and needed money. There were wealthy Jews who allowed their brothers to borrow money yet charged them interest, which was forbidden in the law God gave Moses. Thus, Nehemiah and Ezra informed the lenders they must remove the interest charges, which they did.”

"Noahide laws were intended to make money for Jews and make them bankers against Christians who they didn't consider Jews"

19 Do not charge a fellow Israelite interest, whether on money or food or anything else that may earn interest. 20 You may charge a foreigner interest, but not a fellow Israelite, so that the Lord your God may bless you in everything you put your hand to in the land you are entering to possess.

Right from the beginning it was counteracting tariffs/interest in jurisdictions that had them. However, when countries banned all jobs for Jews except that, it put them in a pickle.

Jews are a race, the religion is an ethnic cult.
