Rebirth of England.

Chapter 842 Who is a Jew

The first question is, are modern Jews, such as those living in Israel, America, and Europe, related to the ancient Jews?

Through modern scientific verification, some modern Jews are related to ancient Jews - this part is mainly some extreme Jews in Israel, such as the Haredi Jews, who have been living in the Palestinian region until the founding of Israel and became a member of this country.

It is worth mentioning that the ancient Jews actually have the same origin as the Arabs and both have Middle Eastern Semitic ancestry. In appearance, there is no difference between the descendants of Middle Eastern Arabs and ancient Jews.

As for most of the people who now call themselves Jews, except for the Haredi Jews, they are actually constructed by Zionists using a combination of the widespread and long-standing Jewish identity around the world and the emerging nationalist theories.

In other words, if a person has Jewish ancestry but does not believe in Judaism, he or she will not be recognized as a Jew by the "Jews"...

We can find that Jews scattered around the world have different skin colors, speak completely different languages, and have various living habits...

There are even some with black skin among them - this branch mainly lives in Ethiopia in Africa. This Jewish branch is generally considered to be an ethnic branch formed after the collapse of wars in ancient countries such as the Assyrian Empire, when some Israelites fled to the local area and intermarried with the local people in large numbers.

Therefore, they are all called Jews, but their internal branches are very different, which is unique among all "ethnic groups" in the world.

In fact, this situation is related to the unique way of Jewish inheritance. According to the Jewish religious law "Halakha", as long as a person's mother is Jewish or converts to Judaism, then he can be considered a Jew...

It can be said that in the long and cruel ancient history, this rule has greatly solved the inheritance problem of the Jews.

Because in ancient times when productivity was generally low, women and children often survived as spoils of war. So when a tribe destroyed a Jewish community, the Jews would not disappear, but would continue to be passed down in the new tribe along the maternal bloodline...

Moreover, women born in the new tribe could also be identified as Jews, spreading the title of Jews, which meant that no matter how thin a person's actual Jewish ancestry was, he could be identified as a Jew.

Even according to the provisions of Halakha, even if a person has no Jewish ancestry, he or she can be considered a Jew as long as he or she is willing to convert to Judaism...

Therefore, the Jews can be seen as a group that relies more on cultural identity and economic interests to maintain its existence.

For example, the matrilineal rule used by the Jews to solve the problem of inheritance has resulted in an unexpected result - due to the low requirements for bloodline, many outstanding people in human history have been labeled as Jews. As a result, the legend that the Jews possess some kind of unique wisdom has spread and become a part of maintaining the Jewish social and cultural identity.

In addition, our general impression is that Jews are good at finance and business. This public impression is constantly deepened through many related books and many "Jewish families" in global finance and business.

In fact, to put it simply, the core of the financial industry is to see whether you can borrow money at a lower interest rate and lend the money to the right people at a higher interest rate!
The characteristics of Jewish society give them unique advantages in this regard.

In daily economic activities in ancient Europe, ethnicity was a very important influencing factor. The interest rate for borrowing and lending within the same ethnic group was often lower than that between ethnic groups.

Compared with other ethnic groups divided by racial genes, Jews have almost no bloodline barriers when it comes to absorbing outsiders into Jewish society. Therefore, when a businessman becomes a member of the Jewish community by converting to Judaism or through marriage, he can share the low-interest funds of Jewish society, making it easier for him to achieve business success.

In this way, this economic benefit will attract more business elites to join Jewish society, and the resource advantages of the Jews will become more and more obvious.

This set of rules has led to the Jewish communities scattered across various countries becoming an organization that can quickly absorb and assimilate local business elites - in other words, in everyone's impression, the label of Jews always seems to be associated with elites. It may not be because there is any special component in their bloodline and genes that makes it easy for geniuses to be born, but because of their assimilation characteristics, which makes it easier for various elites to be absorbed into Jewish society.

For example, after the end of World War II, the United States became the world's hegemon. A large number of elites gathered in the country and it became a country that Jewish society focused on.

This is also the reason why Israeli lobbying groups have been able to spread to many fields in the United States and gain huge influence in just over a decade.

There are currently about 1800 million Jews in the world, of which about 710 million are in Israel and more than 760 million are in the United States. They are spread across the elite classes in American politics, finance, media, technology, business and other fields.

However, if such a group, which is mainly built up by interests rather than blood ties, wants to maintain stability, it needs to conduct more intensive behavioral loyalty tests on its members - rewarding those members who have made greater contributions and are more loyal, and excluding free riders who only want benefits and are unwilling to pay, as well as rebels who ignore collective interests.

This has led to another consequence: American elites who choose to join Jewish society or marry into it often become very active and radical in order to improve their status within it, even at the expense of national interests.

After all, the "latecomers" need to show more, and prove their "loyalty" to others by showing their protection of the interests of the group. This situation can be seen frequently from a country to an organization. Therefore, you can see that the Jewish group is often very "united". When there are unfavorable remarks or actions against Israel or the Jews, many Jewish tycoons stand up to obstruct and protect them in many ways...

This is also because in Jewish society, a person's status is directly related to his contribution to the collective. Obviously, this rule will encourage members to demonstrate their value to the collective in a more radical way.

When hostile individuals appeared, public retaliation against them was a way for its members to demonstrate their loyalty and values ​​to the "Jewish community."

As a result, the entire Jewish society was characterized by radicals in power and those in power becoming even more radical.

Moreover, this actively exerted pressure is not only directed at external threats, but also at the Jewish people themselves.

In 1973, during the Yom Kippur War, a group of American Jews founded a new organization called Brera, which called on Israel to withdraw from occupied territories and discuss a peace settlement with the Palestinians. Representatives of the organization even met with a group of Palestinian representatives in a private capacity.

Soon a strong resistance emerged. Organizations such as the Conference of Major Jewish Presidents of America, the Jewish Council, and the National Jewish Advisory Committee on Social Relations immediately condemned the Brera organization. Jewish community organizations cancelled Brera's membership, and local Jewish community councils stopped providing it with funds and venues. Soon, the resources of the entire Jewish society were closed to it.

Under this pressure, the Brera Organization was forced to disband in less than five years.

It is these characteristics of the Jewish consortium mentioned above that make them an elite organization with highly consistent internal actions and extremely sensitive to external threats, while also giving birth to powerful lobbying groups.

Barron once read a story in relevant materials that Steven Rosen, a former official of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, once placed a napkin in front of Jeff Rigdeberg, editor-in-chief of The New Yorker magazine, and claimed that he could get 24 senators to sign on it within 70 hours...

Many American politicians and congressmen will choose to surrender under the powerful influence of Jewish financial groups - because for officials or congressmen who show reluctance to cooperate, the Israeli lobbying groups will decisively take counterattack strategies, stop supplying political donations, and even start funding their opponents. In many cases, they will also use the media they control to release news that is unfavorable to these people.

Also because the Jewish groups and some of the Zionists are too radical and crazy, Baron does not want Rami to provide assistance to his hometown too high-profile and attract the other party's attention.

After all, Israel's Mossad is very famous for assassinations...

In some military operations and bombings, Israel even targeted personnel from international organizations such as the UN, let alone Rami's current identity.

Of course, with Barron's current strength, he is not afraid of these Jewish groups, but he just doesn't want to cause trouble for no reason.

If he was really afraid, he would not have taken action against the Rothschild family in the first place - these Jewish groups are not monolithic. Although integrating into them can gain support, it is just that it is easier for them to obtain resources than others. There will be conflicts within them from time to time.

The reason why the Rothschild family was targeted was because they had declined to the point where most of their power could only remain in Europe, and they already had rifts with some capitals on Wall Street.

This is a very normal thing. Even within a family, fighting to the death is not uncommon.

Of course, Barron could also choose to integrate into the Jewish group - in fact, even the Anglo-Saxon group had intermarriage with the Jewish group, and therefore had close ties with it.

For example, Ivanta married a Jewish businessman in the original time and space, and changed her faith for this purpose and passed the Jewish test - according to the Jewish inheritance method, she can also call herself a "Jew"...

But this is no longer necessary for Barron. He does not need to obtain the resources of the Jewish group in this way. On the contrary, this will create hidden dangers for his family.

If he marries a Jewish woman, not to mention that another marriage will be a challenge to his family relationships, in the long run, his descendants with Jewish ancestry may also be swept up in the Jewish group, which may cause disputes among future descendants.

He did not want any of his businesses, part of them, to become part of the "Jewish consortium" in the future.

Moreover, he himself had no good feelings towards the overly radical and crazy part of the Jewish group, so naturally he was unwilling to stir up this muddy water.
