Why do alot of people think that Jews are taking over the world?

Jewish people are smart.  They strive to study hard to reach their goals.  That's why so many are doctors, lawyers, producers, business owners, wise investors and the like.  \n\nI don't think that the Jewish are trying to take over the world.  What I think is that they are trying to defend themselves from those who are trying to eliminate them.  They have been the all time most fought against culture.\n\nIf you read the old testament in the Bible, you'll see what I am talking about.  If you do not read the Bible, read some history books.

At least get your facts straight when you spout your racist nonsense, otherwise you just sound like an idiot.  Jews are 2.2% of the population according to the 2000 census.\n\nhttp://www.census.gov/compendia/statab/tables/06s0071.xls

You obviously do ,but i got news for you not every one is like you and to say the maximum people is incorrect.\n\nbillions of people on this planet dont even know what Jews are.\n\nthe reason for their continuous persequesions are ,because theologically speaking they betrayed jesus and denied him as their king or something\n\nthey also have been bankers , like for ever,and many people.\nowed money to Jewish banks.Often it was easier to kill them ,than to pay them back.\n\nYes, it is true Jew s are disliked by many people but globally speaking this is still a very small percent, to say the maximum ,borders on a racist remark.\n\nI am sure some jewish people will take this issue up with you in much more detail.

What people don't know is that the Jews were the first around in the world. People are jerks that don't like other people because of the religion.

because there are many wealthy jews in America. They are politically motivated and know how to use the money paying off greedy politicians in Washington DC. I kinda sound antisimetic I guess but its just the truth, I have nothing against Jewish people. I just think that we (Americans) need to mind our own business. it's not like everything is hunky dory over here you know. And my god, how many times does history need to repeat itself? No matter what we do, it comes back to bite us in the ass in the end.

I hear a lot of people bashing the Jewish people, mostly out of jealousy, they see how, as a whole, blessed and prosperous the Jewish people are- I see that there is a higher intelligence and higher rate of success amongst the Jewish people-  I truly believe this is because the Jewish people as a whole take God's instructions seriously, they do not take for granted the covenant that God made with Abraham.  God created the world with certain laws and principles in motion and obedience to God's word brings blessing and I believe that this is what has happened amongst the Jewish people.   For the rest of the world, I believe that God made a way for us to be grafted in- this is described in the Bible but basically, having a respect for the Jewish people, seeing that the ways they are set apart as a Holy people are for a reason and recognizing the picture of the Messiah in those ways rather than looking down on them, opens the door for the same blessing for the gentiles as well.

There are all kinds of Jews... just like everyone else.  There are left-wing Jews, right-winged Jews, Jews in prisons, in the army, and everywhere else.  I'm sure they have every kind of opinion that anyone else can have.  Americans are very individualistic and enjoy the freedoms to do pretty much what they want without fear.  I'm sure they wouldn't follow instructions from anyone.  My own children dont follow my instructions.  They are Amreicans... and I'm Jewish.

Yes they are being used but they know it.  They are as bent on the distruction of Israel and all Jews as the others.

To get this straight you need to disregard the Jewish version of history that has bombarded us for years. They portray themselves as innocent victims of Arab hostility and terror, when the truth is more nearly the exact opposite. In the early 1900s there were very few Jews in the area of Canaan, or Palestine, with perhaps 100 orthodox Jewish rabbis in Jerusalem and scattered numbers of Jews elsewhere in the region.  But to go to the very beginning one must look to Russia in the early 1880s during the time of the Pogroms in which mobs attacked Jews and Jewish businesses.  Out of all this persecution was born the idea of a return to the Jewish homeland, personified in the writings of Theodor Herzl and others.  Eventually came the Balfour Declaration out of England, which finally sponsored the idea of a Jewish state in Palestine (places like Ethiopia and Argentina had been considered by the British as possible sites for a new Jewish homeland).  Through the 1920s waves of Jewish immigrants began flocking to the region, and at some point the new arrivals, who initially began buying land from the indigenous Arabs, abandoned that practice and began resorting to outright theft. By the end of the Second World War the seeds of the conflict had been sown.  In the year 1948 alone, Zionists destroyed well over 400 Arab villages, driving away or killing the inhabitants and creating the first groups of Arab refugees.  This taking of Arab land and the massacres that took place was an act of genocide by the Jews directed against the Arab population, yet it is something that Jewish historians seem to have forgotten.  But it was this taking of land and the massacres of entire Arab villages by the Zionists that is the real basis for the conflict in the Middle East.  The Jews, who seem to have wiped their collective memory clean, claim to be themselves innocent victims of Arab attacks.  So today, when you see a suicide bomber blowing up in a Jewish city, it is a revenge for Jewish atrocities from 60 or 70 years ago, and NOT an unprovoked attack as the Jews claim.\n\nI have a complete list of the Arab towns and villages destroyed by the Jews in 1948, and it makes pretty harrowing reading.  These Jews are no innocent people.

The Jewish people have been quite successful in surviving many centuries of hatred, prejudice and the Holocaust. And maintain an unproportionately high role in society. There are only about 13 million Jews worldwide, about 1% of the total population.\n\nAs a good guideline to a healthy and prosperous lifestyle, I feel the Jewish culture is one worth passing on down to ones children.

the "modern" jewish people are the same as the ancient jewish people.. we are all one, and israel is our jewish homeland. \nWe have always had a strong identity, it has not left us, and perhaps the holocaust has even made it stronger

I agree actually. The Jews have been in diaspora since their founding as a people. They've been kicked around by everyone. That's gotta suck. However, lots of other peoples have been opressed as well. Think of the African Americans. Slavery, Segregation. In addition, the Romans made slaves of millions of people accross Europe. However, I think that the Jews win for the longest lasting. They are still having issues with Palestine...

If you are smart than you would a big threat to the surrounding. People around you think you are going to take over and try to get rid of you. \nSame story of JEWS.

Too many to name, or to even know.  There are Jews all over the earth, from America to China, from Israel to India, from Spain to England.  They are all over the earth.

It's a religion.  The fact that many Jews share the same apperance is that is not a prosteltyzing religion and it has not spread much outside of its original followers.
