Why aren't Jewish people respected more in America for working hard and contributing
We know USA was one of the few countries that didn't turn us away after THE Holocaust, so we Jews work hard to give back to the country that gave so much to us...and to be productive members of society ...
...but then we get told "You Jews are TOO successful" or "You Jews work too hard and make too much money"? And stereotypes begin about Jews being miserly/cheap!
We can't win? Where is the respect for all Jews have brought to American society?
it takes all types. for the most part other successful people who have a life do respect anyone Jew or not who is successful and contributing to society.
the people who dint are the same people who have nothing going for them and need to blame someone other than themselves for their failure to succeed at anything.
How can you respect a guy get tin out of a $200/hour Limo only to pick up a dime on the sidewalk?
Christian folks like W. Buffet or B. Gates like to give away some of their cash to make other folks feel better.
Jews like B. Madoff like to open 100s of offshore accounts and keep mil kin the poor.
No respect in that.
You probably didn't hear Netanyahu when he said
"I know what America is. America is a thing that can be easily moved, moved in the right direction. They will not bother us. Let's suppose that they will say something... so they say it... so what? Eighty per cent of the Americans support us. It's absurd! We have such great support there! And we say... what shall we do with this support?"

Jews do work hard, Goldman Sachs is doing God's work, with the help of Mr Bernanke, and The ungrateful American taxpayer complains that it has cost them 12.9 billion. Do they think doing Gods work comes cheap?
Mr Olmert assists the US and stops them from making grave errors.
In his speech, Olmert described his call to Bush while the U.S. president was giving a speech in Philadelphia.
"I said, 'I don't care. I have to talk to him now,'" Olmert said, describing Bush, who leaves office on January 20, as "an unparalleled friend" of Israel.
"They got him off the podium, brought him to another room and I spoke to him. I told him, 'You can't vote in favor of this resolution.' He said, 'Listen, I don't know about it, I didn't see it, I'm not familiar with the phrasing.'"
Olmert said he then told Bush: "'I'm familiar with it. You can't vote in favor.'
Arab ministers said after the U.N. vote Thursday that Rice had promised them the United States would support the resolution, but then made an about-face after talking to Bush.
A few minutes before the scheduled vote at the United Nations, Rice's staff told reporters she would make a few brief comments beforehand, but then abruptly canceled her press appearance, saying she would instead speak to Bush by phone.
The vote was delayed while other ministers waited for Rice to finish the call. She then entered the U.N. Security Council chamber, huddled with Arab ministers who shook their heads as she spoke to them.
Immediately after the vote, Rice left for Washington without talking to waiting reporters.
Rice joined her French and British ministers in drawing up the resolution and the three Western powers haggled with Arab countries for three days over wording, which Rice told the U.N. Security Council she supported.
THE holocaust? there have been more then one get over yourself.. There is a Tibetan holocaust, Armenian holocaust and a Palestinian holocaust currently happening.
And why should we respect you just for being Jewish? There are many other people working hard as well. You should be respected for what YOU have accomplished, not what others of the same religion/culture have done..
Your not a bloc. Your individuals.
So to sum it up, no I refuse to respect "Jews" as an entity because some of you are successful, i will respect kind people. That could be Jews, but it depends on the person.
And i think that stereotype is there because of the many Jewish owned banks, firms, etc.
I don't believe in stereotypes, positive or negative.
"Where is the respect for all Jews have brought to American society?"
GET OVER YOURSELF.
I saw a similar question on another category, and this is what the user ( well I can't really see his name because the question is in voting) but this is what he said:
"Jews tend to be very successful and a lot of people are resentful that they are disproportionately high in virtually any field of intellectual study. The Jews - just 1.7 % of the American population - tend to excel over others (prestige and affluence)."
