How true. I moved out of NY a few years ago and I have to travel 45
minutes to get a "real" pastrami sandwich. The meat is piled so high
it's hard to finish a whole one, and if you do, you don't need to eat
dinner.

has always
puzzled me is how Jews, who account for such a tiny fraction of the

many different fields - science, music, medicine, literature, arts,
business and more. If you listed the most influential people of the
last hundred years, three at the top of the list would be Einstein,
Freud and Marx; all were Jews. Many more belong on the list, yet Jews
comprise at most less than 3 percent of the United States population.
They are an amazing people. Imagine the persecution they endured over
the centuries: pogroms, temple burnings, Cossack raids, uprootings of
families, their dispersal to the winds and the Holocaust. After the
Dias****a, they could not own land or wor****p in much of the world; they
were prohibited from voting and were told where to live. Yet their
children survived and Jews became by far the most accomplished people
per capita that the world has ever produced" - MARLON BRANDO (excerpt
from "SONGS MY MOTHER TAUGHT ME").."Jews are unique in that for
eighteen-hundred years they have had no country...and have, whenever
there was any pretense of equality of op****tunity for them, forged
their way ahead into positions of prominence, influence and power in
business, professions, in philosophy, in art, in literature, and in
government. The harshest persecution and injustice merely strengthen
the peculiarity of the Jew in the adherence to his ancient customs.
Give him the sunlight of freedom and the balmy encouragement of
equality of op****tunity and he assimilates himself to his environment
with all the quickness of perception, all the energy, all the
enterprise, all the persistence with which he is so remarkably endowed"

John McCain - "The Jews Will Not Go Quietly Again!").."Certainly, the
world without the Jews would have been a radically different place.
Humanity might have eventually stumbled upon all the Jewish insights.
But we cannot be sure. All the great conceptual discoveries of the
human intellect seem obvious and inescapable once they had been
revealed, but it requires a special genius to formulate them for the
first time. The Jews had this gift. To them we owe the idea of equality
before the law, both divine and human; of the sanctity of life and the
dignity of human person; of the individual conscience and so a personal
redemption; of collective conscience and so of social responsibility;
of peace as an abstract ideal and love as the foundation of justice,
and many other items which constitute the basic moral furniture of the
human mind. Without Jews it might have been a much emptier place." -
PAUL JOHNSON (contem****ary US Historian, "A History of Jews & A History
of Christianity").."Western civilization is undeniably a 'Jewified'
civilization, however offensive the word may be to our ears because of
the ugly use made of it by anti-Semites - anti-Semites believed that
Jews were everywhere, and in a sense they were almost everywhere that
counted in modern society." - ALBERT LINDEMANN in Esau's Tears: Modern
anti-Semitism and the Rise of the Jews.."Here is a great body of our
Jewish citizens from whom have sprung men of genius in every walk of
our varied life; men who have conceived of its ideals with singular
clearness; and led enterprises with sprit & sagacity...They are not
Jews in America, they are American citizens" - WOODROW WILSON (28th US
President, 1913-1921).."If statistics are right, the Jews constitute
but one percent of the human race. It suggests a nebulous dim puff of
stardust lost in the blaze of the Milky way. Properly, the Jew ought
hardly to be heard of, but he is heard of, has always been heard of. He
is as prominent on the planet as any other people, and his commercial
im****tance is extravagantly out of pro****tion to the smallness of his
bulk. His contributions to the world's list of great names in
literature, science, art, music, finance, medicine, and abstruse
learning are also away out of pro****tion to the weakness of his
numbers. He has made a marvelous fight in this world, in all the ages;
and had done it with his hands tied behind him. He could be vain of
himself, and be excused for it. The Egyptian, the Babylonian, and the
Roman followed, and made a vast noise, and they are gone. Other peoples
have sprung up and held their torch high for a time, but it burned out,
and they sit in twilight now, or have vanished. The Jew saw them all,
beat them all, and is now what he always was, exhibiting decadence, no
infirmities of age, no weakening of his parts, no slowing of his
energies, no dulling of his alert and aggressive mind. All things are
mortal but the Jew; all other forces pass, but he remains. What is the
secret of his immortality?" - MARK TWAIN.."The first *** symbol in

others, Jews are valued for what sounds like a stereotype - that Jews
are smarter, for instance. Yet the numbers proclaim something like that
to be the case. On the recent College Boards, Jews averaged 1161.
Unitarians did somewhat better (1209), but the national average was
1020. At the elite Ivy League schools, Jews make up 23 percent of the
student body. They are a measly 2 percent of the U.S.
population".."Jewish
students, by culture and by ability and by the very nature of their
liveliness,
make a university a much more habitable place in terms of intellectual
life,"
Vanderbilt's chancellor, Gordon Gee, told the Wall Street Journal. "The
very nature
of their liveliness? Is this man out of his mind? Actually, no. Gee is
speaking both a specific truth and a larger truth: Not all groups are
the same" - RICHARD COHEN, Wa****ngton Post, "A Study In
Differences".."It's anti-Semitic to point out that Jews are smarter
than Gentiles? Gimme a break. Who doesn't know that Jews are smarter
than Gentiles? Newsweek (8/21/00) gives the Jewish population of the
U=2ES. at two percent. Does anybody think that the number of Jewish
lawyers, college professors, successful businessmen, mathematicians, is
two percent? Anybody? How can it be offensive to say something so
dazzlingly obvious? If I were Jewish, I'd be flattered to hear this.
For the record, I consider myself a philosemite. It has been truly said
(by Paul Johnson in his History of the Jews) that if you take almost
anything - science, law, philosophy, literature, medicine, music - and
track it back to its roots, you will find Jews there, or at least meet
an awful lot of them along the way. I am a big fan of Western
Civilization: and I know - again, who doesn't know? - that the debt we
Gentiles owe to the Jews is colossal, and can never be repaid. No doubt
I shall now get letters explaining to me that this opinion, too, is
"anti-Semitic". Another thing you learn writing for the public is that
anything whatsoever that you say about Jews or Jewishness is
"anti-Semitic" to somebody out there" - JOHN DERBY****RE ("10 Things You

eternity.
He who neither slaughter nor torture of thousands of years could

he who neither fire, nor sword, nor Inquisition was able to wipe off
the face

who
