I've been aware of assorted genetic diseases that are almost exclusively found among Ashkenazi Jews. The single word explanation for that, which the author of the article doesn't use, is inbreeding.

But to get Chomsky and Soros into the title of the article is a (sinister) joke, I'd presume. I'd say that becoming a leftist radical is generally caused more by environmental factors than genetics.

Oh, agreed. Though the correlation between Jewish descent and radical leftism is and has been very strong for well over a century.

While it’s stupid to think there’s a direct genetic link, it’s not unreasonable to consider the possibility there might be a genetic predisposition to ways of thinking that predispose to leftism.

Obviously the primary causation is environmental. Tom Sowell has some excellent discussion. Radical leftism is common to all middleman minorities around the world, despite the fact that leftism is by no means always in their economic interest.

When “scientists say”, then the pinch of salt comes out.

I have a single marker for Tays-Sach; my wife does not.

My brother (also a carrier), although also a Cohen, married a convert to Judaism (a VERY attractive Lebanese lawyer) of Arab and other origins who was a partner at the same law firm.

He always joked he had to “look back to Ur” to get some fresh breeding stock. She didn’t think was funny.

Not likely any more “inbred” than Sefardi Jews. Probably less so.
