Jews were re: #937 Sergey Romanov

Dear Milty, your “statistical” schtick is as old as time.

It is used by antisemites against your own people (assuming you’re Jewish). “Look at how disproportionate the participation of Jews in leadership roles in Communist revolutions is! Trotsky, Zinoviev, Kaganovich, Yagoda, Bela Kun, Jakub Berman, so many others… That means the Jew is an enemy of the West!”

Exactly same rhetoric.

Fuck you.

Jews were indeed disproportionately represented in the communist movement. Matter of fact, they still are — in what remains of the original movement, as well as its PC scions.

Israel is actually chock full of leftists, as one would expect of a Jewish state, otherwise we would probably have launched an offensive war against the Arabs a long time ago.

But the Jews are also disproportionately represented in a lot of other fields, including the sciences and arts. Muslims, as Charles was once fond of noting, have come up with little else than the automated prayer rug in recent centuries.
