re: Netanyahu: we are becoming a global superpower

I'm just saying that's a very strange way of claiming that they did something on their own.
I didn’t claim that. I clearly claimed that they did it in collaboration with the US in some cases and with US funding in others. But that’s only for the military stuff. The tech sector in Israel is extremely vibrant and they did it on their own much more so than could be said about the US where at least half the great innovators are immigrants like Elon Musk.
There is a lot of anti-Israel and anti-jew going on right now. I understand why. It is simply true that the US is being lobbied and bribed to put Israeli interests above those of the American people. To reverse something like this is hopeless without fomenting irrational hate.
But anyone who gets consumed so much by that hatred (not directing this at you, Flats) that they fail to see the truly enormous contributions of Jewish people to modern science and tech, has lost grip with reality. Beyond any doubt, the Jewish people have contributed more in philosophy, science, computer tech, medicine, and financial innovation, on a per capita basis, than any other people in the world. And whoever is in second place is so far back that the Jews aren’t even in sight.

They couldn't do much without Daddy US.
Unfortunately, we have a bunch of America second folks in our country.

If they did, they wouldn't be relying on our tankers to refuel their birds. They have no strategic lift, and very limited ability to project power beyond their adjacent neighbors without help from the US.
F-35s (even the Israeli model) out class everything they've seen IADS wise in Iran and Syria. Being the best air force in the middle east is like being the best team in NCAA D2.

Sounds like we're asking the same things.

Yes...and all coincidentally happen to be controlling mechanisms of power -- and not necessarily benefit.

So the Guy who doesn't believe in Jesus, became buddies with folks whose country's laws are based on Jesus's teachings, to become a "Super Power".

Vaccines & Immunization: Jonas Salk developed the first polio vaccine. Waldemar Haffkine developed vaccines for cholera and the bubonic plague.

I’m sure you will say these were all worthless, and anything I list you will have a similar rebuttal, so why don’t we do it this way? You write what type of inventions you think would be beneficial, then I’ll list the Jewish contributions.
If I were you I would just bow out, because no matter what you list, you will be overwhelmed by the data.
BTW, Albert Einstein was Jewish.

I am sorry that you feel the need to utilize a form of racism in order to promote a false positive view of one group of people (Jews). This is the type of ugliness that the left wing groups revel in.
All Men are Created Equal. This revolutionary idea transformed the world by sending our country on a journey that set us apart from the monarchies and familial and racial systems that controlled most countries.
It is frightening to see so many people wanting to pull us back down into these failed systems and ideas.

I am just glad to see this subject has a near equal number of upvotes as downvotes.
I suspect the vast majority of those upvotes are from younger posters.
Thankfully, the next generation of conservative voters realize that the foreign policy status quo is not “America First” and indeed is diametrically opposed to a true MAGA agenda.

First, there is zero racism in my post. I’m not Jewish, and I couldn’t give a hoot if the Jews invented everything or nothing. But I was born into a world that had existing historical facts. And what I put in my post is an appraisal of those facts.
Your “all men are created equal” is a confusion of two different ideas. I agree that all men are created of equal value in God’s eyes. I do not agree that all men have equal talents, nor make equal contributions to mankind. Are your contributions to technological advancement equal to those of Elon Musk?
My post above was in response to someone who claimed that all of the Jewish contributions to science and knowledge were in service of gaining power. I gave facts that plainly refuted this. The overriding fact is that the Jewish people have made remarkably outsized contributions to almost every field of knowledge. On a per capita basis there is no other people that can compare. But some cannot accept racial facts that are not flattering to their own race.

Does this mean they can start handling their own business?

I can accept person A or person B had great accomplishments and contributions. What I do not accept is your twisting the fact of person A and B being a particular race and therefore this race is “better”. I think this is passed off as a logical assumption when it is really insidious racial profiling.
This elevation of the Jewish race on your part is a common problem that needs to stop. It is bad for all people, and in the end, particularly bad for Jewish people.
Do not lecture me on what I mean by quoting, “All Men are created Equal”. It is far more than a religious statement, and your sophomoric attempt to compare myself with Musk is nowhere near the important point. We need to keep our countries governing principles based on this idea.

Not at all.
My assertion still stands. And actually CAN'T be refuted as I repeat:
All those particular areas of institutional influence are indeed coincidental mechanisms for control AND power -- and not necessarily benefit.
With respect to your list, specific medical "discoveries" by their respective developer, there is some good, but there are some severe problems as well.
-- Salk and his entire "polio vaccine" was a fraud.
-- mRNA tech is weapon.
-- "recombinant DNA technology" is "genetic engineering" -- NOT good either.
-- Einstein was a complete fraud (yeah, him too)
The vaccines developed in the 19th century are also highly suspect.

That's quite a offer. But it's not a game I'm willing to pay.

Conversely, I could also blow you away with "data" to back up my assertion and thesis with respect to how certain peoples' levers of "power and control" of our institutions in fields chosen carefully, with an MO and purpose.Things have NOT worked out well for the US and West.

Mis-interpretation and misquote.
Here's my original quote again:

Not quite. You didn't address or understand how "power and control" mechanisms work when certain fields are chosen to ply trades within state and corporate institutions. Like...Banking and finance. Law. Medicine. The Academe.

Weird assertion, but ok.
Btw, my "race" is "Caucasian.". What race are Jewish people?
