JEWS I HAVE KNOWN - Guy in undergrad who I knew was Jewish only because he wore a Star of David pendant. - A few people that I met through my first job. - A guy in grad school that became one of my best friends and is still a good friend many years later. - Two girls in grad school that I didn't know very well, but hung out with a couple of times in the campus bar. - Another guy in grad school who married one of my female friends (I wasn't interested in her sexually). - A guy in my first postdoc whom I was friends with for many years, and just recently fell out of touch with. - A guy I knew when I was teaching, who I had many conversations with in a pub. - Some of my professors. - Probably various other people that I didn't know were Jewish.
The common thread, the common properties between all of them?
Honestly nothing that I can think of Sup Forums. The closest I can come is that they were/are mostly kind of intellectual and sort of conspicuously harmless. Like people that would never want to get in anybody's way. I am too, so maybe that's why I got to know them.
60% of Jews are just kikey, but nonetheless average Shmo's 40% of Jews are your Kabbalistic Zioninst shitbags
The problem is the 40% use anti-semitism to keep the rest in support and in the dark

I happened to know that all of them were Jewish. They would sometimes mention or allude to the fact that they were Jewish.
Most of them, though, were uncomfortable when I would even ask them something that had to do with their being Jewish, like "do you keep kosher" or "do you do anything for Hanukkah in your family". I think they were uncomfortable because they weren't sure if I was going to insult them or make fun of them because of it.
Like for instance, the last guy above once mentioned that he had some cousins named Miller. I said "oh that's interesting. I don't think of as a Jewish name, but I think of Miller as a Jewish name because of Jonathan Miller, and a woman in my apartment named Miller". We were in a regular conversation, but his face sort of fell and he looked like he didn't want to talk to me anymore. I felt bad about it. I didn't say it with any malicious intent but I guess it didn't come across that way.

>do you keep kosher >do you do anything for Hanukkah in your family >oh that's interesting. I don't think of as a Jewish name, but I think of Miller as a Jewish name because of Jonathan Miller, and a woman in my apartment named Miller These quotes would make me uncomfortable too desu. What's the point of this thread? Because now it just seems like you're blogging

I guess I really can't imagine what it's like to be Jewish in America. This was brought home to me forcefully by an incident with the friend from my first postdoc.
I went to a party with him at the house of one of his friends. At the party, he and I and some relative of his friend started talking about cars, because he was thinking about buying a car. He had an English accent, so for some reason that made a lot of people (including me at first) not know that he was Jewish.
Anyway, we were talking to this guy and he said something like "Yeah, some of these car dealers might try to Jew you out of some money", blah blah blah. I froze and didn't want to talk to the guy anymore.
BUT MY FRIEND KEPT TALKING TO HIM. As if nothing had happened.
And I realized that this kind of thing had probably happened to him before, and he had figured out how to deal with it. Just ignore it, gracefully disengage and make a mental note not to talk to that person anymore.
I never talked to my friend directly about that incident, but I never forgot it.

Do some Jews in positions of power prefer other Jews? I dunno. I guess probably. Some Harvard grads in positions of power prefer other Harvard grads. Some Nebraskans in positions of power prefer other Nebraskans. Some Muslims, Baptists, Catholics, what have you in positions of power prefer other people of their religion/sect.
It's a universal thing that has a lot more to do with human nature than being Jewish. Certainly with all the Jews that I have ever known, if they knew that someone else was Jewish, they might just exchange some jokes with them and maybe it would be one element that might lead to a greater feeling of friendship with the person. But nothing more.
Anthony Martinez
>Yeah, some of these car dealers might try to Jew you out of some money >I froze and didn't want to talk to the guy anymore. Go back to Plebbit you ginormous faggot, your friend didn't flinch because we know how it is and we know they don't mean any harm by it. Quit blogposting, your fascination with Jews is starting to creep me out now. At least Sup Forums's obsession stems from anti-Zionism you just seem like a weirdo
It's about the fact that we're all fourth/fifth cousins; Ashkenazim at least. That and keeping the old traditions alive
Connor Flores
I'm posting about it because I seriously wonder sometimes reading Sup Forums if anyone is thinking straight.
I mean, do they actually know any Jews? Do they even try getting to know them? Everything that I have ever experienced tells me that they are not in any bizarre global conspiracy to corrupt the morals of the goys. They are not trying to control the monetary system of the planet. They are not engaged in a massive plot to lie about the Holocaust.
They are just another ethnic and religious group, nothing more. Person X is German-American, Person Y is Chinese-American, Person Z is Jewish-American. Person A is Episcopalian, person B is an atheist, person C is Jewish. Sure they have certain characteristics that might be different from other people. Like Italians are more expressive with their hands, Finns come across as depressed, Texans are inordinately proud of their state, and Jews are sort of intellectual and deliberately harmless. And other people might have their own take on it that's different from mine.
I seriously don't understand how anyone can think otherwise. The whole "Jewish conspiracy" thing seems to me to consist of deranged, charismatic paranoids who manage to convince people who don't know any Jews that Jews are evil.
Cooper Ward
Thing is, I don't have any fascination with Jews.
I have a morbid fascination with Sup Forums, though. It's like watching a slow, continuous train wreck. I really can't even begin to imagine how anyone even starts to believe a little bit of these completely insane triple-parenthesis conspiracy theories that people spew here.
Unless they actually don't know any Jews personally.
Carson Flores
It's more about the Zionist stranglehold on American finance & media, which is used to perpetuate the "greatest ally" and "innocent Israel" narratives. Anti-semitism in this regard is almost a knee-jerk reaction to the ubiquitousness and absurdity of the lengths these people go through to keep these lies alive. Not all Jews are Zionists, but nearly all Zionists are Jews. Most people here don't care to discern since to them we're just a weird out-group.
I truly do believe though from observations of my Jewish and non-Jewish family that what Sup Forums refers to as "kikery" is an inherited thought-pattern. What you can gather from this I don't care, but a state that claims to represent me and my family that acts in a duplicitous manner will not receive my support. That's just my two cents, but what do I know I'm just a kike after all
Jaxson Gutierrez
I don't support what Israel has been doing for the last 50 years in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. I also think that the idea of settling the Jews of Europe in Palestine was a bad idea and it could have been predicted that it would lead to a bad situation, but I think that the Jews that are in Israel now should be able to stay there.
I know that some of the Jews that I have known would disagree with me on some of those points. In some cases, it may be because Israel has a lot of emotional connotations for them, and they probably know people (maybe in their families) that very strongly support Israel, like some people support the American flag or Star Trek.
But I don't talk about it with them, and they don't with me, because it's irrelevant to our friendship.
Julian Wood
So honestly, you go to a restaurant with a non-Jewish friend, you just mentioned something to do with your being Jewish, you're talking about what looks good on the menu, your friend says "do you keep kosher" and you feel uncomfortable? Why? Isn't that just a natural outgrowth of being friends with someone with different cultural traditions?
I feel fine asking a Chinese American "do you speak Chinese" in conversationally appropriate settings, so why should I censor myself from asking a Jewish American "do you keep kosher" in conversationally appropriate settings?
Adrian Miller
The fact you don't mention the common thread being academia. Not the worst b8 ever

60-80% of white students in grade school were Jews or part Jewish.

Thanks for the post, JIDF.
It's about (((their))) globalist agenda. They want to run a prison planet of border-less, race-less, culture-less, nation-less, identity-less subdued sheep. They make up less than 1% of the world's population, yet look at all they control from the world's finances to the media that brainwashes us.
In short, they use the entertainment and news media to encourage globalism and discourage nationalism and traditional western values. They distort and lie about the present and past in that effort.
Every jew I have met were always narcissistic and smug. Always saw through whatever bullshit they were trying to sell. Not trustworthy at all.

>- Guy in undergrad who I knew was Jewish only because he wore a Star of David pendant. Not enough evidence. It's become increasingly popular for evangelical christians who have travelled to Israel to wear these star of david pendants, my mother wears one, and a past girlfriend of mine did as well, both went on pilgrimages to Israel. Though if they are evangelicals you can safely assume they are completely cucks for jews, i.e. believing jews are literally the chosen people and that we must all bust our balls to help and protect them. inb4. "muh protestantism" this is all due to Jewish propaganda and holohoax guilt.
Landon Lopez
Only the Jews with victim complexes actually get upset over using the term "Jew'd" or other innocent shit like that. I'm 20 and work in a restaurant between my college classes, and joked with a qt Jewess coworker that I'd sue her with my connections from the local temple and she laughed her ass off. Didn't even know I'm a mischling till later

With social skills like that, you must be in an academic field full of autists.
Owen Rogers
I asked him. At first he said he wasn't. I think he did it in order to see how I would react, to find out if I said "oh, that's a relief" or something. Instead I sort of made a puzzled face and asked him why he was wearing it then. Then he did say that he was Jewish, and passed off what he had said earlier as a joke.
I guess it was another example of being worried that people are going to hate you for who you are.
Jackson Howard
Because these are autistic questions. If someone makes a comment about their ancestry that's nice. But asking someone what Jewish customs they uphold (especially if they're not openly an Orthodox Jew) will make them extremely uncomfortable because it makes it clear that they're an outsider. They want to feel accepted and generally part of the in group, and they will lighten their inherent outsider feeling by making slight references to their Jewish ethnicity. But implicitly pointing out that they're an outsider will make them uncomfortable.
Basically, you should let them make comments about themselves if they want to, but probably not dig into it. Assume it's a private matter unless they've made it clear otherwise by letting you know they're orthodox or Hasidic
Luis Price
>because it's irrelevant to our friendship. No, because Israeli politics in terms of relevance to an American gentile begin and end with AIPAC and the Rothschild dynasty
>I don't support what Israel has been doing You won't find any disagreements from me; imo Israel was an illegitimate state up until the 70's. Your question as to why Sup Forums is feverishly against Jews I've answered. They have the same vitriol the Zionists do in their approach, and I can appreciate that because for the select few who know what they're doing it's an effective method. Political Zionism has for the past 30 years used the US as a piggy bank and its sword/shield, the effects of which you're starting to see in American society. It's no surprise the anti-Israel line would come hand in hand with anti-semitism since Israel proclaims itself to be our homeland. Sup Forums is effective in its shock-value delivery of anti-Zionism which among the layman has the added affect of mistrusting Jews as a whole. You can blame whomever you wish, but I find fault with the Jewish elite who for the past 3000 years don't seem to understand how to properly interact with foreign cultures. You know who suffers most because of this? The average Shmo; and as I said before the Zionists use that knee-jerk anti-semitism to keep the rest of us in support of their barbarism
You fail to recognize the difference between religious and ethnic Judaism. Most Jews in the West don't keep kosher, hell most Jews in the West are barely "Jewish" in the religious sense beyond the kind of hollowed-out ceremonial BS you see among most Christians. For that exact reason your question comes off as intrusive and out of place.
>I feel fine asking a Chinese American "do you speak Chinese" in conversationally appropriate settings A more appropriate analogy would be you asking a Jew if he spoke Hebrew
Ryder Stewart
Yeah, I understand that, and I came to much the same conclusions. I learned my lesson and I try to avoid saying that kind of thing now.
I'm just saying it's unfortunate that prejudice against Jews is so pervasive that Jewish people feel uncomfortable about getting a natural question in a natural setting. And I don't think it's autistic at all. Isn't there some point in a friendship at which you can ask something like that?
Josiah Jones
>Most Jews in the West don't keep kosher OK, thanks for the info. But how am I supposed to know that if I can't ask?
Owen Morris
If Jews were visibly evil they wouldn't be a problem. Let me tell you what happens during war: your 'best friend' becomes a collaborator as fast as possible and turns on on you without blinking.
That's exactly what happened in Poland in the beginning of WW2. Jews welcomed both USSR and Germans with flowers. They later became the new bureaucrats and policemen on the USSR side, using the newly found power to take everything from their former neighbors.
Logan Butler
If you really care that much then see if they ever eat pork? I've already explained why the question itself is weird and off-putting
Jacob Smith
Google, you autistic retard.
Angel Cooper
You could probably say the same about any group. If you're involved in academia guess what type of people you are going to meet. Did the white people, or Muslims have common properties between them?
It's not suggested that all whites are racist, all people from one group are terrorists, are dumb or criminals. The claim that everyone from one group is controlling everything is also stupid.
That doesn't mean that if we think there is a problem with one group we can't talk about it. For the vast majority of Jewish people there is a emphasis placed on family and academic pursuits which leads to success. They manage to maintain their group identity while living in a secular society, a practice that we need to adopt.
Ryder Robinson
Most of the American-born ones I know are a mixed bag. Mostly intellectuals but either super smug or friendly and quiet. Good humor. Russian immigrants - intellectuals too but not smug. At least not in English. Don't make jokes unless you know them for a while. Israeli expats - oily, unfriendly, and humorless. Get really mad if you think they're Arab, but I suppose Arabs are probably the same way.

Iv known a few jews. My auntie married one. Dont want to dox myself but this guy was the son of someone very high up in 1950's french government (there are statues of him round france) This guy was not a kazar but of sephardic portugese stock. He was a nice guy. He was completely secular, ate pork, was easy going and was always very pleasant to me when I used to visit for holidays as a child. They had a chateau in normandy we used to stay in for holidays (upper-middle class family see) that had been occupied by the germans in WW2 and there were old portraits on the wall that had bullet holes through them where the germans had used them for target practice. Pretty good childhood memories desu. Knew another jew. I went to school with his kid (who was a highly autistic mischling) This guy was living off a BBC pension (his claim to fame was having worked on the Clangers and he was responsible for the slide whistle in that show) He was a raging alcoholic who looked like saddam hussain. He was a regular fixture at the local pubs and could drink anyone else I knew under the table. I used to go round to his house as a kid because he had a lot of different computers (BBC pensions go quite far it seems) He also used to let us watch porn when we were 11. He gave no fucks desu. He died a couple of years ago and his autistic mischling son is now a hopeless smackhead/crackhead living in squalor and getting taken advantage of. Kind of depressing tbqh. None of the ones I'v known were particularly 'jewy' per se. They tended to be pretty assimilated and secular. Then again, that is probably to do with the geographical area.
