Now you have just gone off the deep end.
You are trying to tell us that Jews are not part of Western Civ? Do you even understand what you are saying?
Western Civ was built on two major pillars
1. Roman and through it Greek Civs.
2. The Bible: Judaism and Christianity.

Moreover, Jews have been part of Europe for 2000 years. There were Jews in Gaul, Spain, and Britain before the Goths invaded the Roman Empire. If you go by historical timelines, European Jews have been part of Western Civ more than the Germans.
While most Europeans were farmers cowering in fear of Viking Raiders, Jews were creating the banking and trade links that took Europe out of the Dark Ages.
(I'm not picking these examples to belittle either group. Rather, Mv1's line of reasoning is perilously close to the German Occultism that was used by the Nazis. Think of historical absurdities like an Aryan Christ. Mv1's attempt to claim that Jews are not part of Western civ is just as absurd. )

PS. It is no accident that both Islamists and Neo-Marxist professors consider Israel a colonial outpost of western civ.
