Thomas Sowell dropped a truth bomb on why the world hates Jews. The legendary economist explained that jealousy over Jewish success fuels centuries of hatred. When Jews thrive against all odds, it makes others feel inferior. That’s why haters attack them – they can’t handle being shown up by people who rise above victimhood.
Leftists and radical Islamists both despise Jews for the same reason. Jews smash the lie that “systemic racism” holds people back. While activists blame society, Jews build nations, cure diseases, and create wealth. Their success proves hard work beats handouts every time. That’s dangerous to the grievance industry.
Look at Israel – a desert rock turned tech wonderland. Arab nations sit on oil oceans but contribute nothing compared to Israeli innovations saving millions of lives. Terror groups like Hamas don’t want peace. They want to destroy what they can’t match. The October 7th massacre showed exactly how far Jew-haters will go.
Sowell called Jews history’s ultimate middleman minority. They succeed wherever they go, from medicine to finance. But instead of admiration, they get pogroms and conspiracy theories. Every time Jews excel, bitter losers scream “unfair advantage” rather than improve themselves.
Woke colleges teach kids to blame others for failure. Jewish culture teaches responsibility and grit. That’s why anti-Semitism spikes on campuses – professors can’t have living proof that their victimhood cult is nonsense.
Some simpering elites ask, “What should Jews change to stop being hated?” Sowell’s answer? “Fail.” But Jews keep winning. Unlike other groups, they don’t wallow in past oppression. They rebuild. That’s why they’re the world’s oldest surviving civilization – and why haters won’t ever wipe them out.
The lesson for America? Dump the victim mentality. Reward merit, not whining. Celebrate strivers, not looters. Jews thrive because they ignore the mob and chase excellence. If more communities followed their example, we’d have fewer crybullies and more real progress.
Radical leftists and Islamists want Jews gone for the same reason – truth hurts. As long as the Jewish people shine bright, they expose the weaknesses of failed ideologies. That’s why decent people must stand with Israel and reject the hate-mob lies. Survival of the fittest isn’t just nature’s way – it’s how freedom wins.
