Jewish person here, 15 years later. Why was this thread necessary? It implies that there's a bad to Jews and that the Jews would be a bad people without this. It's like if I said "The Christians are nice because x." It is a generalization, which doesn't work due to the many different sects and practices of Judaism, and it implies that the community is bad. I understand this thread meant no harm, I'm purely just expressing my thoughts on it. Also, for future reference, “the Jews” also can have a negative connotation. It is better to say “Jewish people.”
