Well that's what I meant by scorched earth. You burn the entire place down in the belief that it will hurt your enemies worse than you. Of course the difference here is that it was totally unnecessary. Jews had it pretty fucking good since WW2, but it's never enough I guess.

The goal wasn't to "hurt your enemies worse than you". It's just that Judaism is frozen in a medieval perspective because of the Talmud, and it failed to adjust to the Enlightenment.

What Jews do isn't anywhere near as healthy and coherent as you imply, and it's always resulted in disaster for them, and sometimes the people they lived amongst. They only survived this behavior for centuries because of the benevolence of Europeans. Other groups like Asians or Arabs would have just destroyed you for it.

Jews did quite well in Muslim lands until recently. I think Jews could do well in any corrupt country. Jews only have trouble in countries that aren't corrupt.

Of course this isn't my ideal, which is why I would rather live with Mennonites than with Jews.
