Thank you Roslyn for clarifying something for me. There is a difference between anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism. I know that. Hell, Palestinians are Semites! I'm certainly not an antisemite but I am an antizionist.

I was reading another Substack writer and had difficulty trying to figure out if he's a Nazi. You helped me do so.

It is interesting to read the history of Zionism. The Zionists were atheists but needed Jewish money, a story and numbers. They despised European Jews for allowing the Germans to triumph over them. They also killed Jews who opposed Zionism.

A lot of Jews, particularly Orthodox opposed Zionism from the start but many did not and chose to ride what must have been at least unconsciously, the glory train of Jewish superiority. I think a lot of Jews, particularly the fake ones, atheists, really got off on the idea that they were smarter, better and superior to all other humans.

European Jews were indeed among the smartest and most cultured on this continent. Boy, have Israelis done away with that image!

Not really. That is the Zionist story. The smart people were the Germans and many Germans were Jews but the culture not the religion created the smarts. Germans are still among the smartest people on the planet and Jews are not.

Many Germans are good at what they do but that's it. They are not called "Fachidiot" for no reason. They are so narrow-minded and have tunnel vision. In fact very dumb and now especially disgusting supporting genocide of Palestinians. New German Gestapo beating and jailing peaceful anti-genocide protesters. A true western culture. German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock publicly stating that it is OK for Israel to target Palestinian civilians in a war!!!! Seems like lesson of WW2 was not good enough for Germany.

it may be in decline and never an absolute but they certainly achieved. Nobels used to mean something once and when they did the Germans stood out.

If Nobels meant something, then Jews must have been hella smart.

"Germans are still among the smartest people on the planet" - you might be confusing skill/professionalism in a narrow field with overall intelligence.

I think there is some sinister and close relationship between the Israeli non-semitic khazarian Jewish converts and white Germans. Nazi Germany was the same as the Zionist Israel is today. We see that Israel uses tactics and brutality Nazi Germany used. Germany supports genocide of native Palestinians in the same way as it supports proxy war against RF and mass killing of native slavic Russian population in Donbass and elsewhere in Ukronazistan. Still angry at Soviets for defeating their Nazi regime in WW2. The two wars today are intrinsically connected and Germany plays ugly role in both.

not confusing but should have clarified. They have a top rate education system which shows. But agree education is not necessarily intelligence.

I think in tribes instead of races. I believe there's only one race, the human race.

.... yet Germany still has plenty falling for the Nazi schtick again. Perhaps it is wrong to speak of smart/smartest people. When Jews in Europe were up against prejudice and discrimination, they had a culture of education. Now they are in Israel as the U.S. empire's protégé, some of them have become monsters.
