'Jews have too much power in business'

Thirty-nine percent of Europeans believe Jews have too much power in the business world, while 44% think Jews have too much power in international financial markets, according to the results of a survey published by the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) on Monday.

The survey of five European countries - France, Italy, Germany, Spain, and Poland - showed that a large number of Europeans continued to harbor anti-Jewish attitudes, holding on to the classical anti-Semitic canards and conspiracy theories that have haunted Jews through the centuries.

The survey also showed that large portions of the European public continue to believe that Jews still dwell too much on the Holocaust. Overall, 47% of those surveyed thought the statement was "probably true."

In addition, 51% said they believed Jews were more loyal to Israel than to their country and 20% of those surveyed continue to blame Jews for the death of Jesus.

Meanwhile, 25% said that their opinion of Jews was influenced by Israel's actions and of those, 52% said their opinion of Jews was worse as a result of the actions taken by Israel.

Nevertheless, while sympathy

Thirty-nine percent of Europeans believe Jews have too much power in the business world, ...

Hmm, but that means that the majority, 61%, don't think that.

...while 44% think Jews have too much power in international financial markets, ...

Hmm, but that means that the majority, 56%, don't think that.

Interesting that we're now selecting the minority views as something that's somehow important. Why?

Why not? They are keeping the dollar afloat, after all.

Huh? Blowing up other Muslims in other countries, especially innocent Muslim women and children, is keeping the dollar afloat?? Duh?

So now that the Democrats are the majority in Congress, the minority Republicans should just shut up because their views are meaningless now. I agree with you.

Sure, why else is the US going around destabilising the ME? Its the only way the dollar can survive.

Why not? The big guns get there all the time.

[IceAgeCivilizations]

Sam, have you thought about blowing yourself up for the Muslim cause?

[S.A.M.]

Sam, have you thought about blowing yourself up for the Muslim cause?

You have got to be kidding.

[IceAgeCivilizations]

Then yes it is.

[nietzschefan]

Boo hoo, Beat them at their own game, then.

They do well because they are unified and strong and the help each other. I know a hard concept for most people....

[Mr.Spock]

jews having too much power in business? maybe its because jews are teaching their children from young age that in order to succeed in life you have to study?

when i was little and didnt do my homework my parents were so pissed. they brainwashed me from young age to get a degree.

this method is very common among jews from europe and america, as well as estern asia.

you know, instead of whining you can do something with yourself?

Exactly.

[Ghost_007]

Hmm, but that means that the majority, 61%, don't think that.

Not necessarily. These questionnaires normally have a 'no opinion' or 'don't wish to answer' option. With this particular poll I can imagine a fair amount of people sitting on the fence.

The results are worrying though, shows bigotry is rife.

The survey also showed that large portions of the European public continue to believe that Jews still dwell too much on the Holocaust. Overall, 47% of those surveyed thought the statement was "probably true."

Some Jews - I agree with that.

No, they'd all rather whine and complain.

Mr Spock:

maybe its because jews are teaching their children from young age that in order to succeed in life you have to study?

Or maybe its because Jews are teaching their children from a young age to be stingy, and use any means available to exhort money out of the Goyim?

you know, instead of whining you can do something with yourself?

Instead of whining about the Holocaust? Great idea!

[spidergoat]

Stingyness is another word for thrift. If you are suggesting that Jews in general have no ethics with regard to making money, that is anti-semitism. It comes from the jealousy that Christians felt because they were not allowed by their church to loan money, so they let the Jews do it.

It is not possible to stress the importance of the holocaust "too much".
