My fiance tells me nonstop that (basically) Jew's are the best people to ever live. "They're the chosen one's".. they invented more "important stuff".. they are more charitable than any other people.. they are "smarter and have more money".
I've been with her for 3 years, but all of her family and friends give me this vibe. It seems to also be a stereotype to an extent.
I love her to death, but what is this about? Have you ever noticed this?

You said it all. Jew's believe that they are 'God's choosen people'. If you are choosen by God, don't you think you must be better than everyone else?

Do both of you a favor and get out of the relationship.
Clearly you will not be too happy when you have kids and, whether or not she practices, they are Jewish.
Plus, when she has kids she'll most likely become more observant.
it seems you've not thought this out well.
BTW, 'chosen' has nothing to do with it- maybe it's just her, or maybe you're wrong and looking to justify a little latent anti-semitism.
The fact is, we HAVE contributed much to humanity, especially considering our relatively small numbers. This probably stems from a focus on education leading to higher levels of success.
THAT is data, NOT self-righteousness- you can do the research to confirm it.
if you were a Jew, you'd be proud of it too.

I see that you have asked this question in two different categories...I wonder why? Anyway, I don't believe you. I don't believe you have a Jewish fiancee who tells you "nonstop" how much better Jews are than others. Why on earth would you love someone that keeps denigrating you? This sounds very fishy to me. I think you are just trying to make some kind of point about Jews and had to make this story up to deliver it.

There is something wrong with this whole picture. You state that you are engaged to a woman you supposedly love to death.
You also use a lot of derogatory sounding language to describe her.
She is obviously proud of her heritage, as well she should be. I believe everyone should be proud of their heritage.
Jewish people were God's chosen people in Biblical times, they have invented a lot of important things, they are very intelligent and there are many Jewish people who work very hard to make a good living, and also fortunes in many cases.
Jewish people have also suffered a great deal in history, as have other people.
If you find her attitude to be bothering you so much, why are you engaged to her? When we love the people that we love and want to spend our lives with, we love them fully, with all of their positives and negatives, that is part of what love means.
How would she feel if she knew that you, as the person that she loves and is engaged to who is supposed to value her above all other women on earth; is on the Internet complaining about her to a bunch of strangers????
If these things bother you so much, you should be discussing it with her, and working it out; or you should not be engaged to her and let her find a man who will value her for herself completely.

Please! Do this woman a huge favor, and take a hike! Frankly I think she is too good for you! There is nothing wrong with being proud of who you are! If it bothers you so much, then break off your relationship, because if you can put her down like this? You don't 'love her to death'! You'd be doing her a kindness, by disappearing from her life!
Ans, as a matter of fact, I have' NOT' noticed this behavior about them!
Move on!

The people of Israel are God's chosen people. This has to do with old testament times and also has to do with "end times." People of Jewish descent are not God's "chosen people." They are no better, no worse than the rest of us.

You don't seem to respect her, Mike. Take care of such issues before marriage.

I agree. Jews are mostly stuck-up people who think that just because of the holocaust incident, the entire world will feel sympathy for them forever.
