Why
are Jews so powerful?
There are only
14 million Jews in the world; seven million in the
Americas
,
five million in Asia, two million in Europe and 100,000 in
Africa
.
For every single Jew in the world there are 100 Muslims. Yet, Jews are more
than a hundred times more powerful than all the Muslims put together. Ever
wondered why?
Jesus of
Nazareth
was Jewish.
Albert Einstein, the most influential scientist of all time and TIME magazine’s
‘Person of the Century’, was a Jew. Sigmund Freud — id, ego, superego — the
father of psychoanalysis was a Jew. So were Karl Marx, Paul Samuelson and
Milton Friedman.
Here are a few
other Jews whose intellectual output has enriched the whole humanity:
Benjamin Rubin gave humanity the vaccinating needle. Jonas Salk developed the
first polio vaccine. Alert Sabin developed the improved live polio vaccine.
Gertrude Elion gave us a leukaemia fighting drug. Baruch Blumberg developed
the vaccination for Hepatitis B. Paul Ehrlich discovered a treatment for
syphilis (a sexually transmitted disease). Elie Metchnikoff won a
Nobel Prize in infectious diseases.
Bernard Katz won
a Nobel Prize in neuromuscular transmission. Andrew Schally won a Nobel in
endocrinology (disorders of the endocrine system; diabetes, hyperthyroidism).
Aaron Beck founded Cognitive Therapy (psychotherapy to treat mental
disorders, depression and phobias). Gregory Pincus developed the first oral
contraceptive pill. George Wald won a Nobel for furthering our understanding
of the human eye.
Stanley
Cohen won a Nobel in embryology (study of embryos and their development).
Willem Kolff came up with the kidney dialysis machine.
Over the past
105 years, 14 million Jews have won 15-dozen Nobel Prizes while only three
Nobel Prizes have been won by 1.4 billion Muslims (other than Peace Prizes).
Why are Jews so
powerful?
Stanley
Mezor invented the first micro-processing chip. Leo Szilard developed the
first nuclear chain reactor. Peter Schultz, optical fibre cable; Charles
Adler, traffic lights; Benno Strauss, Stainless steel; Isador Kisee, sound
movies; Emile Berliner, telephone microphone and Charles Ginsburg, videotape
recorder.
Famous
financiers in the business world who belong to Jewish faith include Ralph
Lauren (Polo),
Levis
Strauss (Levi’s Jeans), Howard Schultz (Starbuck’s), Sergey Brin (Google),
Michael Dell (Dell Computers), Larry Ellison (Oracle), Donna Karan (DKNY),
Irv Robbins (Baskins & Robbins) and Bill Rosenberg (Dunkin Donuts).
Richard Levin,
President of Yale University, is a Jew. So are Henry Kissinger (American
secretary of state), Alan Greenspan (fed chairman under Reagan, Bush, Clinton
and Bush),
Joseph
Lieberman,
Madeleine Albright (American secretary of state), Casper Weinberger (American
secretary of defence), Maxim Litvinov (USSR foreign Minister), David Marshal
(Singapore’s first chief minister), Issac Isaacs (governor-general of
Australia), Benjamin Disraeli (British statesman and author), Yevgeny Primakov
(Russian PM), Barry Goldwater, Jorge Sampaio (president of Portugal), John
Deutsch (CIA director), Herb Gray (Canadian deputy PM), Pierre Mendes (French
PM), Michael Howard (British home secretary), Bruno Kreisky (chancellor of
Austria) and Robert Rubin (American secretary of treasury).
In the media,
famous Jews include Wolf Blitzer (CNN), Barbara Walters (ABC News), Eugene
Meyer (Washington Post), Henry Grunwald (editor-in-chief Time), Katherine
Graham (publisher of The Washington Post),
Joseph
Lelyyeld (Executive editor, The New York Times), and Max Frankel (New York
Times).
Can you name the
most beneficent philanthropist in the history of the world? The name is
George Soros, a Jew, who has so far donated a colossal $4 billion most of
which has gone as aid to scientists and universities around the world. Second
to George Soros is Walter Annenberg, another Jew, who has built a hundred
libraries by donating an estimated $2 billion.
At the Olympics,
Mark Spitz set a record of sorts by wining seven gold medals. Lenny
Krayzelburg is a three-time Olympic gold medalist. Spitz, Krayzelburg and
Boris Becker are all Jewish.
Did you know
that Harrison Ford, George Burns, Tony Curtis, Charles Bronson, Sandra
Bullock, Billy Crystal, Woody Allen, Paul Newman, Peter Sellers, Dustin
Hoffman, Michael Douglas, Ben Kingsley, Kirk Douglas, Goldie Hawn, Cary
Grant, William Shatner, Jerry Lewis and Peter Falk are all Jewish? As a
matter of fact,
Hollywood
itself was founded by a Jew. Among directors and producers, Steven Spielberg,
Mel Brooks, Oliver Stone, Aaron Spelling (
Beverly Hills
90210), Neil Simon (The Odd
Couple), Andrew Vaina (Rambo
1/2/3
),
Michael Man (Starsky and Hutch),
Milos
Forman (One flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest), Douglas Fairbanks (The thief of
Baghdad
) and Ivan
Reitman (Ghostbusters) are all Jewish.
To be certain,
Washington
is the
capital that matters and in
Washington
the lobby that matters is The American
Israel
Public Affairs Committee,
or AIPAC.
Washington
knows that if PM Ehud Olmert were to discover that the earth is flat, AIPAC
will make the 109th Congress pass a resolution congratulating Olmert on his
discovery.
William James
Sidis, with an IQ of 250-300, is the brightest human who ever existed. Guess
what faith did he belong to?
Question:
So,
why are Jews so powerful?
Answer:
Education.
Why are Muslims so powerless?
There
are an estimated 1,476,233,470 Muslims on the face of the planet: one billion
in
Asia
, 400 million in
Africa
,
44 million in
Europe
and six million in the
Americas
.
Every fifth human being is a Muslim; for every single Hindu there are two
Muslims, for every Buddhist there are two Muslims and for every Jew there are
one hundred Muslims. Ever wondered why Muslims are so powerless?
Here
is why: There are 57 member-countries of the Organisation of Islamic
Conference (OIC), and all of them put together have around 500 universities;
one university for every three million Muslims. The
United States
has 5,758 universities and
India
has 8,407. In 2004,
Shanghai
Jiao
Tong
University
compiled an
‘Academic Ranking of World Universities’, and intriguingly, not one
university from Muslim-majority states was in the top-500.
As
per data collected by the UNDP, literacy in the Christian world stands at
nearly 90 per cent and 15 Christian-majority states have a literacy rate of
100 per cent. A Muslim-majority state, as a sharp contrast, has an average
literacy rate of around 40 per cent and there is no Muslim-majority state
with a literacy rate of 100 per cent. Some 98 per cent of the ‘literates’ in
the Christian world had completed primary school, while less than 50 per cent
of the ‘literates’ in the Muslim world did the same. Around 40 per cent of
the ‘literates’ in the Christian world attended university while no more than
two per cent of the ‘literates’ in the Muslim world did the same.
Muslim-majority
countries have 230 scientists per one million Muslims. The
US
has 4,000
scientists per million and
Japan
has 5,000 per million. In the entire Arab world, the total number of
full-time researchers is 35,000 and there are only 50 technicians per one
million Arabs (in the Christian world there are up to 1,000 technicians per
one million). Furthermore, the Muslim world spends 0.2 per cent of its GDP on
research and development, while the Christian world spends around five per
cent of its GDP.
Conclusion: The Muslim world lacks the capacity to produce knowledge.
Daily
newspapers per 1,000 people and number of book titles per million are two
indicators of whether knowledge is being diffused in a society. In
Pakistan
,
there are 23 daily newspapers per 1,000 Pakistanis while the same ratio in
Singapore
is
360. In the
UK
,
the number of book titles per million stands at 2,000 while the same in
Egypt
is 20.
Conclusion:
The Muslim world is failing to diffuse knowledge.
Exports
of high technology products as a percentage of total exports are an important
indicator of knowledge application.
Pakistan
’s exports of high
technology products as a percentage of total exports stands at one per cent.
The same for
Saudi Arabia
is 0.3 per cent;
Kuwait
,
Morocco
,
and
Algeria
are all at 0.3 per cent while
Singapore
is at 58 per cent. Conclusion: The Muslim world is failing to apply
knowledge.
Why
are Muslims powerless? Because we aren’t producing knowledge. Why are Muslims
powerless? Because we aren’t diffusing knowledge. Why are Muslims powerless?
Because we aren’t applying knowledge. And, the future belongs to
knowledge-based societies.
Interestingly,
the combined annual GDP of 57 OIC-countries is under $2 trillion. America,
just by herself, produces goods and services worth $12 trillion;
China
$8
trillion, Japan $3.8 trillion and
Germany
$2.4 trillion (purchasing
power parity basis).
Oil
rich Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait and Qatar collectively produce goods and
services (mostly oil) worth $500 billion; Spain alone produces goods and
services worth over $1 trillion, Catholic Poland $489 billion and Buddhist
Thailand $545 billion (Muslim GDP as a percentage of world GDP is fast declining).
So,
why are Muslims so powerless?
Answer:
Lack of education.
