Chapter 842 Who is a Jew

The first question is, are modern Jews, such as those living in Israel, the United States, and Europe, related to ancient Jews?

Through the verification of modern science, some of the modern Jews are related to the ancient Jews - this part is mainly some extreme Judaism in Israel, such as Haredi Jews, who have been living in Palestine until the founding of the state of Israel. a member of this country.

It is worth mentioning that ancient Jews are actually of the same origin as Arabs, and both have Middle Eastern Semitic ancestry. In appearance, there is no difference between the descendants of Middle Eastern Arabs and ancient Jews.

As for the Haredi Jews, most of those who now claim to be Jewish are actually constructed by Zionists using a combination of widespread and long-standing Jewish identity around the world and emerging nationalist theories.

In other words, if a person has Jewish ancestry but does not believe in Judaism, he will not be recognized as a Jew by the "Jews"...

We can find that Jews scattered around the world have different skin colors, speak completely different languages, and have various living habits...

There are even black-skinned people among them - this branch mainly lives in Ethiopia, Africa. This Jewish branch is usually considered to be the collapse of the ancient Assyrian Empire and other countries due to war. Some Israelis fled to the local area and intermarried with the locals in large numbers. The ethnic branch formed later.

Therefore, they are all called Jews, but their internal branches are very different, which is unique among "nations" in the world.

In fact, this situation is related to the unique inheritance method of the Jews. According to the provisions of the Jewish religious law "Halakha", as long as a person's mother is Jewish or converts to Judaism, then he can be counted as a Jew...

It can be said that in the long and cruel ancient history, this rule has greatly solved the problem of Jewish inheritance.

Because in ancient times when productivity was generally low, women and children often survived as trophies of the victors. Therefore, when a tribe destroyed a Jewish community, the Jews would not disappear, but would continue to be passed down in the new tribe along the maternal line. …

Moreover, women born in new tribes can also be identified as Jews, and the title of Jew spreads, which means that no matter how thin a person's actual Jewish blood is, they can be identified as a Jew.

Even according to the provisions of Halakah, even if a person does not have any Jewish ancestry, a person can be recognized as a Jew as long as he is willing to convert to Judaism...

Therefore, Jews can be seen as a group that relies more on cultural identity and economic interests to maintain their unity.

For example, the matrilineal law used by the Jews to solve inheritance problems has caused an unexpected result - due to the low requirements for blood, many outstanding people in human history have been labeled as Jews, so the Jews possess some unique wisdom. The legend spread and became part of the cultural identity of Jewish society.

In addition, our usual impression is that Jews are good at finance and business. This popular impression is constantly deepened through many related books and the many "Jewish families" in global finance and business.

In fact, to explain, the core of the financial industry is to see if you can borrow money at a lower interest rate and lend the money to the right person at a higher interest rate!

The characteristics of Jewish society give them a unique advantage in this regard.

In daily economic activities in ancient Europe, ethnic group was a very important factor. For loans within the same ethnic group, the interest rate was often lower than between ethnic groups.

Compared with other ethnic groups divided by race and genes, Jews have almost no blood barriers when absorbing outsiders into the Jewish society. Therefore, when a business person becomes a member of the Jewish community through conversion to Judaism or marriage, then He will be able to share the low-interest-rate funds of the Jewish community, making it easier to achieve business success.

In this way, this economic benefit can attract more business elites to join the Jewish society, and the resource advantages of the Jews can become more and more obvious.

This set of rules has caused the Jewish communities scattered in various countries to actually become an organization that can quickly absorb and assimilate local business elites - in other words, in everyone's impression, the Jewish label always seems to be associated with the elites , it may not be because there are any special elements in blood and genes that make geniuses easy to be born, but because their assimilation characteristics make it easier for various elites to be absorbed into Jewish society.

For example, the United States, which became the global hegemon after the end of World War II, has gathered a large number of elites in the country and has become a country where Jewish society focuses on operations.

This is also the reason why the Israel lobby group has been able to spread across many fields in the United States and seize huge influence in just a dozen years.

There are currently about 18 million Jews in the world, of which about 7.1 million are in Israel and more than 7.6 million are in the United States. They are among the elites in American politics, finance, media, technology, business and other fields.

But if such a group, which is mainly built on interests rather than blood relations, wants to maintain stability, it needs to conduct a higher level of loyalty test on its members in terms of behavior - reward those members who have made more contributions and are more loyal, and exclude free riders who only want benefits and do not want to pay, as well as rebels who ignore the collective interests.

This has another consequence. Those American elites who choose to join the Jewish society or marry with it often behave very actively and radically in order to improve their status in it, and even do not hesitate to overdraw the interests of the country.

After all, "latecomers" need more performance, and prove their "loyalty" to others by showing their maintenance of the interests of the group. This situation can be seen frequently from a country to an organization.

Therefore, you can see that the Jewish group is often very "united". When there are unfavorable remarks or behaviors against Israel or Jews, many Jewish tycoons stand up to obstruct and maintain them in many ways...

This is also because in Jewish society, a person's status is directly related to his contribution to the collective. Obviously, this rule will encourage members to show their value to the collective in a more radical way.

When hostile people appear, openly retaliating against them is a way for members to show their loyalty to the "Jewish community" and reflect their values.

As a result, the entire Jewish society has formed the characteristics of radicals in power and those in power becoming more radical.

Moreover, this actively exerted pressure is not only directed at external threats, but also at the Jewish people themselves.

In 1973, during the Fourth Middle East War (also known as the Yom Kippur War), a group of American Jews established a new organization called Brera, which called on Israel to withdraw from the occupied land and discuss a peaceful settlement agreement with the Palestinians - representatives of the organization even met with a group of Palestinian representatives in a private capacity.

Soon after, a strong resistance emerged. Organizations such as the American Conference of Major Jewish Presidents, the Jewish Committee, and the Jewish National Social Relations Advisory Committee immediately condemned the Brera organization. Jewish community organizations cancelled Brera's membership, and the local Jewish community committee stopped providing it with funds and venues. Soon, the resources of the entire Jewish society were closed to it.

Under this pressure, the Brera organization was forced to disband in just less than five years.

It is also these characteristics of the Jewish consortium mentioned above that make them an elite organization with highly consistent internal actions and extremely sensitive to external threats, and also breed powerful lobbying groups.

Barron once saw such a story in relevant materials. Steven Rosen, a former official of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, once put a napkin in front of Jeff Rigdeberg, editor-in-chief of The New Yorker magazine, and then claimed that he could get 70 senators to sign on it within 24 hours...

Many American politicians and congressmen, under the powerful influence of the Jewish consortium, will choose to succumb - because for officials or congressmen who show uncooperativeness, the Israeli lobbying group will decisively adopt a counterattack strategy, stop the supply of political donations, and even start to fund their opponents. In many cases, they will use the media they control to release news that is unfavorable to these people.

It is also because the Jewish group and some of the Zionists are too radical and crazy. Barron does not want Rami to be too high-profile in his assistance to his hometown and attract the attention of the other party.

After all, Israel's Mossad is very famous for assassinations...

And in some military operations and bombings, Israel can even kill people from international organizations such as the UN, not to mention Rami's current identity.

Of course, with Barron's current strength, he is not afraid of these Jewish groups, but he just doesn't want to cause trouble for no reason.

If he was really afraid, he would not have attacked the Rothschild family at the beginning-the internal structure of these Jewish groups is not a monolithic entity. Although integrating into them can gain help, it is just easier to obtain resources than others. There will be conflicts from time to time within them.

At the beginning, the Rothschild family was attacked because the other party had fallen to the point that most of its power could only remain in Europe, and there were gaps with some capital on Wall Street.

This is also a very normal thing. Even within a family, fighting to the death is not a new thing.

Of course, Barron can also choose to integrate into the Jewish group-in fact, even the Anglo-Saxon group is not without intermarriage with the Jewish group, so it has a thousand threads of connection with it.

For example, Ivanta married a Jewish businessman in the original time and space, and changed her faith for this and passed the Jewish test - in terms of Jewish inheritance, she can also call herself a "Jew"...

But this is no longer necessary for Barron. He does not need to obtain the resources of the Jewish group in this way. On the contrary, this will cause hidden dangers for his family.

If he marries a Jewish wife, not to mention that another marriage will be a challenge to his family relationship, in the long run, his descendants with Jewish ancestry will also be coerced by the Jewish group, which may cause disputes among future descendants.

He does not want his own business, part of which will become the composition of the "Jewish consortium" in the future.

Besides, he did not like the overly radical and crazy part of the Jewish group, so he was naturally unwilling to stir up this mess.
