Ben, I am at a loss to understand the point you are trying to make here. Jews (or Judaism) is a religion that can be passed on as an idealogy. Genetics are specific to an individual and his ascendents and possible descendents which can only be passed down physically.
Now, at one point you were mentioning that Judaism is one of the two <b>greatest</b> religions and Buddhism did not count. The reason you gave for Judaism's greatness was it was a dictatorial (sic) religion. Later on you also agreed that Old testamenet (which forms an indespensable portion of Judaism) is tribal and gruesome. I do not see how it can be gruesome and GREATEST religion at the same time. Religion is usually a means for Self-Realisaiton or Self upliftment.

true. the OT is tribal history at best - and very guresome at that. <!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Coming to genetics, if you squarely put the greatness of Jews to be genetic, and if it is true, then there is nothing the world can do to 'aquire' those genes. What then is your proposed solution ? Just gawk and bow down to the Jews?
I respect the Jews, and they definitely are our friends and allies in the war against a common enemy. But I cannot see your point in harping that they are the greatest of the greatest and the world would not be possible without them. Well, Mother Nature is quite intelligent enough to help Human Beings evolve into more intelligent creatures. Thus Jews or no Jews, Hindus or no Hindus, the human race will progress towards better adaptation.
On a lighter note, how many Jews have been the greatest 100m sprinters in Olympics, or how many Ms.World / Ms.Universes are jews. How many taxi drivers are jews? How many Siddhas, Yogis, Self-realized mahatmas are jews ?
Recap: I still do not know what the purpose of this thread is other than singing bhajans of Jews and dissing Indian culture.
