That's how we select our Senators in this country. I don't know the demographics for the individual Senators. For that matter, I don't know who all the Jewish Senators are, but I would be surprised if a single one of them got more votes from Jews than from non-Jews. I think the white firefighters had a legitimate beef. If the test was racially biased, it should be thrown out, but not just because the results were all white. In business, law, education, and medicine you get there by hard work, dedication, and aptitude. If the Jews happen to have a higher percentage than most that is because a high percentage of Jews value education. They got elected in fair elections.

Of course, they have to find a religious authority (in their case Islamis religious authority) willing to perform the ceremony, or get married outside of Israel. That applies to Jews and Arabs alike. Lots of Jews get married outside of Israel due to the fact that when two Jews want to marry each other in Israel there are rules about religious divorces or marrying a Cohen that are unfair to women. I empathize though. I cannot marry who I want (Jessica Alba) just because she has no idea who I am. Israeli Arabs are free to marry whoever they want.

The idea that when people are charitable, they are doing it to make themselves feel good so it is actually a selfish act. I think people are capable of genuine altruism. Doing things for the good of others despite it not being in their own interests. I disagree with that characterization of human motives.

Yeah a few idealistic Jewish kids defied their parents and risked their lives in the civil rights movement; this is not inconsistent with the fact organized Jewry supported the civil rights movement and 1965 immigration act to fracture white gentile solidarity and thus insure that the USA would never opt to be the new Nazi Germany. The Kapo analogy is silly and illogical. Kapos served the powers that were for their own self-interest. Phil would never be a Kapo. Witty for example, already is a Kapo. Thom and Jake are Kapo boot-lickers.
