(IsraelNN.com) Professor Richard Dawkins, a senior British evolutionary scientist and outspoken atheist, drew fire on Monday for saying that Jews “more or less monopolize American foreign policy.” Religious Jews are a small group, Dawkins said, but are “fantastically successful” in lobbying the US government. Dawkins, who is currently in the US in an attempt to promote atheism and fight religious influence, expressed hope that atheists would be similarly successful in determining government policy.
A number of Jewish leaders responded immediately, with ADL head Abe Foxman calling Dawkin’s remarks “classic anti-Semitism.” Malcom Hoenlein, a senior official in the Conference of Presidents of Major American Organizations, was quoted by Yediot Acharonot as saying the statements represented “the poisoning of the elite.” Even top scientists can “demonstrate ignorance and fall victim to misinformation,” said Hoenlein, adding “This impact spreads within the intellectual community, and then trickles down to the general populace.”
Dawkins has jumped the shark. Maybe this is not the first time he has jumped the shark, but this time he has really jumped the shark.
Bleh ... none of y’all can beat the tunnel that runs straight from the Vatican to the White House.
Yeah but who keeps the martians under wraps and the metric system down? We do!
Actually, it is RADICAL MOSLEMS WHO DO, because we still kiss their tushies.
This is not surprising. Evil often attempts to disguise its hate by using science or “education”. Bless the Jewish people who have endured more than any people, yet still turn to G-d with trust and thanksgiving. This man is dispicable and unfortunately, not unique. These arrogant scumbags need to be kept in check.
Either several beers or if she lost 25 pounds...either way, such a deal! LOL!
Who controls the British Crown?
Who keeps the metric system down?
We do, we do.
Who keeps Atlantis off the maps?
Who keeps the Martians under wraps?
We do, we do.
Who holds back the electric car?
Who makes Steve Guttenberg a star?
We do, we do.
Who robs cave fish of their sight?
Who rigs every Oscar night?
We do, we do!
Bucking for a position in that "maybe someday" Ron Paul presidential cabinet, I see.
My all time favorite episode!
How that must burn his britches... a bunch of people who don't believe in evolution are running the government. HOW CAN THIS BE?!??!?!!??

Dawkins isn’t a top scientist. He’s an evolutionist and evolutionists aren’t exactly known for common sense sound reasoning.

Dear Professor Dawkins:
We actually don’t let them monopolize our foreign policy, but we probably ought to, on account of how their people do neat tricks like taking out Syrian nuclear weapons facilities. As an atheist, you should be particularly in favor of such activities, since you’re sure you won’t have any existence beyond your current one.

Yeah right. George Bush and Dick Chanye are Jewish I guess.
What a blithering idiot.
lol
Red Herring
Professor Richard Dawkins aka idiot with an agenda.
I agree. Jews are a small religious group and they wield too much influence in the US government. $3 billion a year in aid to a modern democracy capable of defending itself is rediculous and a waste of taxpayer’s money.
