I've met many good and honest Jews in NYC, SF, Montréal, Vancouver, Toronto - and a few that weren't. Same as any group.

All political and religious "leaders" are power-tripping manipulators and can't be trusted. Using them as your baseline is not a good way to measure a people.

Your statement is not true. You can state that you've met Jews in those places and that, AS FAR AS YOU KNOW, they appeared to meet your personal definition of "goodness and honesty".

Sure, I'll accept that you lack discernment quite happily.

You don't know who I've met and know.

You lack realistic critical thinking and dwell in a world of impossible forms and absolutes. Life doesn't work that way.

Life PRECISELY works THAT WAY AND NO OTHER which is why you "normal people" are having so much trouble understanding it.

No, I don't know whom you've met and know. That doesn't change anything to my post. What's with the ill faith and disingenuousness?

You state that you've met many "good and honest" Jews, which means you know with ABSOLUTE CERTAINTY what is in their hearts and soul. You therefore, ARE GOD. Or... Your statement isn't factual.
