Thanks to Facebook I stumbled upon a group/page that one of my Jewish acquaintances post on. There was a video about an Israeli doctor who had created a very innovative surgical procedure (very awesome), but I was completely blown away by the comments that people left.
They were in the vein of, "...Only the chosen people could have done this!" "...We are truly God's people!!" and on and on about how Jewish people, in their minds, are literally better than everyone else. Now, I know a lot of us think that whatever creed we belong to is the best, but I didn't know that Jewish people have been indoctrinated with the clear belief that they are a superior people.
Is this pretty indicative of Israeli/Jewish people overall? I don't know that many Jewish people so I can't tell for sure, but these comments and similar ones were the majority of the responses, and it was a bit disturbing.
