yeah, they consider themselves as special in this world and then have people to fight for their rights, needs, and wants to conquer the world... Pardon my French, am I allowed to say that?
It's like an unspoken rule to have good relationship with them ~ I'm not pro of Arabians or anything, but it's obviously true that they're in a group of people who hate to live life peacefully.
However, since they've learned from history and their past, they're certainly smart to have some strategies to control world.
In the US alone, we've small number of Jews and Israeli population... but most of them are billionaires, millionaires, successful industries tycoons and so forth.
For further explanation, read the history of Europe where Europeans killed them -- a proof to show how brilliant they could be...
For Jewish and Israeli answerers in here, don't take it personally ~ I'm sorry if I got it wrong -- but I've read numerous history books regarding this topic. I beg your pardon.

Historically they did, I don't know so much about modern Jews. At least no more so than any other nation, so I suppose you could say that modern Jews are just as much a product of enculturation as the English, the Germans, the Russians, the Japanese, the Chinese, the Saudi's, the Egyptians, the Turks, the Aussies, the Canadians, and yes the Americans. We all develop a sense of nationalism through the process of enculturation. Though it is becoming less and less so in the western countries, due to political correctness.

They are "Chosen". They convince the USA to give them 33% of all US foreign aid. The set the Christians and Muslims at each other's throats. The can have dual citizenship USA/Israel. They are able to control the American entertainment industry and have been changing our morals for half of a century. They set up a religious state and then convinced the world that it was alright to rip off the Palestinians.

Kinda of a pointless question.
Say for example, I'm Jewish (which I'm not). Would I REALLY belong to a religious group that considered ourselves "not so special?" Isn't that why people turn to religion? To feel special - be that special to themself, special to the "group," or special to God.
I'm guna go with YES on this one.
and so do the Catholics, the Pentacostals, the 7th Day Adventists, the Baptists, the Mormons, the JW's and especially those "non-denominational" Christians....

Yes, I believe so. They appreciate the fact that God has chosen them among all the other nations to serve Him. At the time the Israelites were the only ones not worshiping false gods - so yes they consider themselves special.

Yes, they believe they are a different species altogether, chosen, waiting for Messiah. Did you know that every male is treated as if they are Messiah until about the age of three when it is determined that they are not the one? They were God's chosen people until Jesus came and they rejected him, they rejected Messiah and Jesus said to them, it is said that you are God's chosen people but I tell that that is no more instead it will be the Gentiles. I am sure they were just livid.

I don't think so. As a people God chose them so that His majesty and glory would be made manifest to the rest of the world. But, like all other peoples, they are held to the same standards that God holds all peoples to. For more information, see

No. In the Bible it says that they are G-d's chosen people but they act like ordinary people. They do not consider themselves better than anyone else. Far from it.

I think they are special in that they were the first chosen to receive laws and instructions directly from God through the prophets and Jesus was one of them. They were the first and every other believer can have the same blessings and everything they have.

To me, as a Jew, "chosen" does not mean "better", but more like "conscripted". Also, how can you be "grafted" to the covenant if you feel that you don't have to do anything from the covenant...?
