Historically, when it comes to the organized crime, the Jews were second to none in violence and the general audacity. When it comes to the mob's "effectiveness" (i.e. profitability), the Jews to this day are in the league of their own. But that's not what it's about. You are making a point - as I understand it - about the Jews' inherent resilience. It's possible there always be Jews - it's no different for any ethnic group, but I happen to believe the Jews are their own worst enemy. Their current support for zero to the detriment of Israel and Jewish interests worldwide is their typical behavior.You Mencken-worshiping palaeocons are a piece of work. Do you also believe Protestant Fundamentalists are "gaping primates who believe degraded nonsense?"
I'll be you were a big fan of Mr. Mencken's magazine in the mid Sixties.
