“I felt the same way about the German Jews in the 30s”
How is that possible for such an intelligent people?
I know. I asked myself the same question.
One of my life long Jewish friends, super rich and super conservative once said to me that if the Jews were as smart as every one thinks they are, they would be 100% conservative, not 25%.
He has no sympathy for liberal American Jews and counts not a single one as a friend, he says they are too stupid to be his friend.
No liberal ever forgets it if they happen to get into a political discussion with him, and they never win, because he has a photographic memory, and will not allow a single fact to be twisted.
