Jews have gone into industries that are lucrative and easily transportable to the next place they have to flee too.

At least that's what Jews tell me, and it makes sense when you've been chased from every place you've ever lived since the beginning of time.

Is that a love of money or a means of survival?

Well, they are still around and doing pretty well so I think they are doing it right.

Joe Rogan is just a douche bag anyway.

Jews went into banking. They went into banking because it was seen as an un-christian, sinful endeavor. The whole Jesus and the money-changer bit.

That's especially true for knowledge-based industries. Say, like medicine. If an anti-Semitic king in Europe takes everything you own and kicks you out of the country, you still have the knowledge inside your head. So you can always use that.

My take exactly.

Obviously the anti-Semitism is strong here, and deeply farked up, but also? Kinda shiatty to Italians, too.

Jews also went into banking because they were not permitted to own land or farm.

That sort of stuff still echoes today. I'm a Jewish Business Bankruptcy lawyer. My area of practice has more Jewish lawyers than most other areas.  The reason is that back 50 years or more ago, the "white shoe" law firms that tended not to hire Jews also often did not have bankruptcy practices (since it was beneath them). So Jews became bankruptcy attorneys - you didn't have to go to the restricted country clubs to market. You didn't have to try to join a firm that either didn't hire Jews or hired only a few token Jews who spent their lives trying to hide their Jewishness.

Of course, once the biggest, snootiest firms realized that you could make a lot of money in insolvency law, they started forming bankruptcy practices. Still, the profession has more Jewish Practitioners than most because (a) it is safe to be Jewish as a bankruptcy lawyer and (b) relationships matter, and people who grew up with an uncle who was a bankruptcy lawyer are much more likely to go into that area.

Sometimes you will hear that Jews go into bankruptcy law because it is all about money... what area of civil law isn't all about money?

What Omar said about Jews is infantile and idiotic. Money grubbing power mongers. I mean, Jesus. It's exactly what leads to their targeting in the community and we're supposed to learn how stupid that is an move on. Many can't.

I have my own issues with Israel directly and the whole situation there, but that is not a hatred or ill-will towards Jews as a people. It's a government that I'm not very happy with.

People willingly mix the two to get in their anti-semitism. I'm sick of it and I'm sick of seeing the Jewish community attacked for it and the MAJORITY of Americans are as well.

There's just no place for it and it's incredibly dangerous to engage in it.

But... there is so much of it these days that it makes me sick. Those who don't think that way need to stick together and fight against it wherever we see it.

I don't think Omar should be on the Foreign Affairs whatever it is because she said "I had no idea that was a trope." Bullsh*t. 100% bullsh*t. Yes she did and she played on it exactly like any scumbag from the Klan would.

To me, that is disqualifying from office.

There are plenty of other good people who can do great things with her seat, and someone should take her on.

When did she say that?


In 2012, Omar tweeted that "Israel has hypnotized the world, may Allah awaken the people and help them see the evil doings of Israel. #Gaza #Palestine #Israel."

"Democrat Rep. Ilhan Omar claims on CNN that she was 'not aware that the word "hypnotized" was a trope' and 'wasn't aware of the fact that there are tropes about Jews and money.'

Her sentence was about Israel, and I share SOME of the feelings on Israel, by no means all of them. But she definitely skirts the line and goes over it in her targeting. I'm not comfortable with it. That's just me personally.

I love her story, I love her struggle to fight for her beliefs and constituents and all of that. But I'm not a fan of how she goes about it. It's too close to the line.

Wanna talk about cutting off defense funding to Israel? We can have a conversation about that, absolutely.

I'm not playing into the Fox News stuff or any of that... I'm fine with calling out Israel for their actions... But, it's just a really bad time for being too careless with words. There is violence directed towards the Jewish community in this country and we have to be very careful about that.

Christian finance is a kind of ethical finance following Christian ethics. Although not widely used,[1] the notion of "Christian finance" or "Catholic finance" refers to banking and financial activities which came into existence several centuries ago[citation needed]. Whether the activities of the Knights Templar (12th century), Mounts of Piety (appeared in 1462) or the Apostolic Chamber attached directly to the Vatican, a number of operations of a banking nature (money loan, guarantee) or a financial nature (issuance of securities, investments) is proved, despite the prohibition of usury"

Some more

From a book, Usury in Christendom: For most of the first 1500 years of Christianity usury, the lending of money at interest, was unanimously condemned by the Fathers of the Early Church, and by popes, councils and saints, as a damnable sin equivalent to robbery and even murder.

Older Guardian article: Usury - all usury - is banned by Christian doctrine, as it is by Muslim doctrine. In the late Middle Ages the problem of financing the royal exchequer and setting up capitalist institutions in the face of the Christian ban on usury was resolved by allowing Jews to act as bankers.

Nope. Sorry. That they changed their tune to the rise of capitalism, doesn't mean what you said has any basis in reality. So if you ever see someone talk about homosexuality and leviticus, remind them what leviticus has to say about Usury. Surely, these faithful Christians aren't holding credit cards.

The ban occurred after the Crucifixion (early church), probably because of abuses that were rampant in the area. A couple of Christ's parables (the Vineyard and the Talents) are probably based on those abuses.

Usury is outlawed in Judaism too (Leviticus 25), it's just that Christians took a different meaning of the verse and left "money lending" as one of the few industries in which Jews could be employed.

Though you've also got to realize that people who worked in that industry were hated (rather like IRS agents today) - because no one likes paying back their loans (or paying taxes) - so they pushed Jews into lines of work that were looked down on, then looked down on people who worked in them, then attached negative stereotypes ("hmmm, really seems like them Jews love money-lending, don't it?") to the class of people who worked them.

The "early church" goes beyond the end of the middle ages? Hell, the catholic church itself wouldn't earn interest on their investments until the 20th century.

NewportBarGuy: Jews have gone into industries that are lucrative and easily transportable to the next place they have to flee too.

At least that's what Jews tell me, and it makes sense when you've been chased from every place you've ever lived since the beginning of time.

Is that a love of money or a means of survival?

Well, they are still around and doing pretty well so I think they are doing it right.

Joe Rogan is just a douche bag anyway.


Sorry, but that's not right.

Having studied Jewish history...

Jews came to dominate lucrative fields because in ancient times through as recently as the last 100 years: 1) Most religions viewed certain lines of work as immoral and prohibited followers from working in them (finance, banking, money lending, entertainment, etc.); 2) Out of desperation for work because Jews were banned from holding many jobs, Jews took on high risk work where failure could get you jailed or killed, but the pay was good when you succeeded (medicine); and 3) Historically, Jews have had higher literacy rates because they are supposed to read the Talmud for themselves while other religions (have) discouraged learning to read so people would be dependent on clergy for access to religious texts (this was one of Martin Luther's grips). This is how they came to dominate jobs that required a high level of education, like law and academia.

In fact, for hundreds of years in ancient times, Jews lived peacefully under Muslim rule but not Christian because Muslims had a great appreciation for the fact Jews could do the jobs that the Koran forbid them to do. They were less puritanical about things like money lending -- they understood that while they were forbidden from facilitating it, there was still a need for it and it was great that the Jews were around to do it.

adamgreeney: make me some tea: To state the obvious here: Almost everyone likes money, not just Jewish people. Almost everyone likes pizza, not just Italian people. To single them out like that is racist AF.

My take exactly.

Obviously the anti-Semitism is strong here, and deeply farked up, but also? Kinda shiatty to Italians, too.

Find me one person that doesn't like money and pizza, Joe. Just one.


My dad and I used to joke (over a bucket of Popeyes) that the stereotype of black people loving fried chicken and watermelon was a conspiracy by white people into shaming black folks away from the best food, so they could keep it for themselves.

BigMax: Does the book have anything about bankruptcy lawyers?  Maybe I should read it.

/I've never been interviewed by Gladwell.


I'll preface with this. I think "Outliers" is a really interesting read. I know he gets a lot of shade thrown at him, I don't care enough to really dig into the details. I liked it.

But yes, there is an entire chapter about Jewish lawyers cornering the market on bankruptcy law, hostile takeovers, etc. Stuff that in your own words, "white shoe" firms wouldn't have touch before the 1980's.

Mangoose: NewportBarGuy: Jews have gone into industries that are lucrative and easily transportable to the next place they have to flee too.

At least that's what Jews tell me, and it makes sense when you've been chased from every place you've ever lived since the beginning of time.

Is that a love of money or a means of survival?

Well, they are still around and doing pretty well so I think they are doing it right.

Joe Rogan is just a douche bag anyway.

Jews went into banking. They went into banking because it was seen as an un-christian, sinful endeavor. The whole Jesus and the money-changer bit.

Now it's a dark conspiracy and not at all anyone else's fault.


They also did it because in cities across Europe it was the only way they could own and operate a business.

See that? Every single shiatbag who wants no consequences and then scurries to wrap themselves under the blanket of "freedumb of peach" wants to act this way.
