The Uniqueness of Jewish People by Samuel Chong
Imagine a world without them...
Imagine a world without the invention of the polio vaccine or its
inventor, Jonas Salk.
Imagine a world without Steven Spielberg, the renowned director of
classics like Jaws, Schindler’s List, and E.T.
Imagine a world without Albert Einstein, the physicist who
fundamentally transformed our understanding of space, time, and
gravity.
Imagine a world without Spider-Man, Iron Man, and the X-Men, a world
without their creator, Stan Lee.
Imagine a world without pioneers like Dean Radin and Jeff Mishlove
in parapsychology, Uri Geller as a psychic entertainer, or Avi Loeb
in astrophysics.
Imagine a world without Jewish people, who comprise only about 0.2%
of the global population yet account for approximately 22% of all
Nobel Prize winners.
Indeed, without Jewish people, the world would not have progressed
as much as today.
If you read the book Thiaoouba Prophecy, you will understand why Jewish people are so exceptional in the fields that they go into, as explained by extraterrestrials who have been watching over us for millions of years. They excel professionally for many reasons, and one of which is that historically, Jewish communities had a massive “human capital” advantage. For example, while much of Europe was illiterate during the early Middle Ages, Jewish tradition mandated that every male child learn to read and write to study the Torah.
This can also be seen today.
In a Christian church, you see pastors or priests telling us what a
passage in the Bible means, indoctrinating or sometimes imposing on us
their ideas and belief systems. If you go to a Jewish synagogue, on the
other hand, you will see the Rabbi reading the scriptures, having the
attendees do the same while encouraging them to interpret the scriptures
critically. Yes, they encourage critical thinking.
Last Saturday, I visited a synagogue. I saw a newsletter of an
elementary school with information on programs of Johns Hopkins Center
for Talented Youth. The child that also attended the synagogue behaved
like an adult, mature and levelheaded.
When asked why Jewish people are so successful, one responded on
Reddit below:
“I’m not trying to share any of the following in a condescending way
whatsoever, just trying to fill people in that may not be familiar with
the culture: I went to a Jewish high school and out of ~1,300 kids, the
graduation rate was 100%. Those that went on to university were
something like 98%-99%, with the only exceptions being a few that moved
to Israel and served in the IDF.
As you can imagine, both those figures were substantially higher than
the provincial and national averages.
It wasn’t an easy school either, the teachers were tough and kept you on
your toes in terms of exams/quizzes/etc.
I didn’t witness a single fight in my 4 years there, there wasn’t a
single teen pregnancy, and it was just a generally very chill
environment where being smart was actually considered “cool.”
To my knowledge this isn’t necessarily the typical high school
experience, but I’m very open to hearing if others had similar
experiences. There was always this implicit vibe that everyone should do
well in school and you can’t really do anything worthwhile in life
without it.
I’ll add one more thing: I don’t know if this is true for every single
Jew, but from my experience there was also this feeling that - using the
Holocaust as a backdrop - we will always be vulnerable and the only way
for us to truly survive is to use our brains, if that makes sense."
The Holocaust. Yes, when I was at the synagogue, I sensed a profound
solidarity among attendees, rooted in awareness of rising antisemitism
and the ever-present fear of history repeating itself. In fact, they
hired a security guard, a Jewish person, who also participated in their
service.
Yes, with about 0.2% of the world population, they are so outnumbered.
And yet, Israel has the second highest number of high tech companies in
the world, after the US. And yes, some of the largest companies in the
US, like Google, are founded by Jewish entrepreneurs (Sergey Brin and
Larry Page)
So why is there so much anti-Semitism?
Jewish monotheism and distinct customs set them apart from ancient
Greeks and Romans. Early Christians blamed Jews for Jesus's death,
overlooking that Jesus and his disciples were themselves Jewish. During
the Middle Ages, Jews were barred from owning land or joining
professional guilds, so they were forced into tax farming or
moneylending, occupations prohibited for Christians by “usury” laws.
When economic crises hit, Jewish moneylenders became convenient targets
for resentment, and they were also blamed as scapegoats when mishaps
such as the Black Death occurred.
As Jews survived and thrived despite persecution, modern conspiracy
theories emerged, alleging secret plans for world domination—most
notoriously in the fabricated Protocols of the Elders of Zion (published
in 1903). If such a document were true, the purported “elders” would
have been powerful enough to prevent the Holocaust, which claimed
millions of Jewish lives. Antisemites also claim wealthy Jewish families
control global finance, ignoring that many of the world's richest
families (e.g., Rockefellers, Morgans) are not Jewish. Instead of
blaming the Jews, they should do their own due diligence and find out
who is creating and causing antisemitism and divisions in the world.
We are all created by the same Creator
The ongoing situation in the Middle East is profoundly shaped by the collective memory of the Holocaust, during which Nazi Germany and its collaborators systematically murdered approximately six million Jews—roughly two-thirds of Europe's Jewish population and one-third of the world's Jews. This immense trauma continues to underpin Israel's resolute "never again" commitment to preventing another genocide against the Jewish people. However, keep in mind that the actions of a particular government do not necessarily translate to tacit approval by its people across the world. I have met many Jewish individuals deeply concerned about the humanitarian crisis in the region, numerous Chinese people who oppose their government's decisions, and Americans who actively resisted their President's policies. We should treat each other as human beings, and do to others as you would have them do to you, as we are all created by the same Creator.
When God created human beings, it inserted a tiny portion of itself into the astral bodies of each one of us. We all have a spark of divinity. Therefore, it would be important to treat each other with respect. Having reflected on the immense suffering and persecution Jewish people have endured, I feel a personal duty to protect and defend them to the best of my ability. It is the least we can do to honor a community that has contributed so profoundly to human progress.
