Isnt it unfair and anti-semitic that we are arrested and punished when we commit crimes? Also shouldnt we be put in charge of everything since we are more intelligent than non-jews and chosen by G-d?

No. We may be G-d's chosen people but it also says in the Torah you are to follow the law of the land, and are subject to the laws and punishments of the law in the country that you live in.

Thats the type of thinking that sent you to the ovens.
Q:

A:
No, oops wrong answer please report me to the adl...for blaspheming with such dilusion.
Q:
Also shouldnt we be put in charge of everything since we are more intelligent than non-jews and chosen by G-d?
A:
Hitler would be proud of you.
BTW if are more intelligent than everyone else then I guess you don't need over 10billion dollars you receive in welfare for your mighty country Israel. You don't need our inferior aid anyways since you are so much better than us... damned leeches.
No wonder why no one likes you!

You are being silly, and aren't really Jewish, and you have no knowledge of Jewish theology.
"Chosen People" is an English mistranslation of the Loshon Kodesh, "AM Segulah." which meens people of the treasure. The treasure is the Torah's commandments.
Part of the idea of an AM sEgulah is, being in possession of a moral law, the punishment for behaving immorally, is more severe.
Regarding intelligence, you are disproving your own point.

Okay,
yes, the Jewish people are God's chosen people, but that never meant that God allowed them to be spoiled undisciplined brats- all throughout the Bible God allowed His people to be disciplined many different ways when His people were unfaithful and disobedient.
God's own word says that a father that does not discipline His children hates his children- if you break the law, there will be consequences and it will be more so for God's chosen people because He wants them pure, righteous, set apart and sanctified.
God has not given up on His people and it is completely unbiblical to say such a thing

Statements like those do nothing but further the thinking of a lot of people concerning Jews.
I would pray that you would reconsider your statements and rephrase question.

Your original premise is not correct.
Jews WERE the chosen people.
God gave up on them.
Based on Matthew 23: 37,38

Jews are not the "chosen" people--nor are they any more intelligent than anyone else. Sorry!!
