MR Debunks Another Myth About Judaism – Jews Not So Smart After All

In the past, we’ve bragged in a kind of unseemly way about the 10-point IQ differential that Ashkenazi Jews over the mean. We were obviously wrong and we take it back:

According to the survey, a slim majority of American Jews do not believe that the United States should act militarily to stop Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons. Fifty-four percent opposed such action and 38 percent supported it. However, 57 percent said Israel would be justified in taking military action against Iran, while 35 percent were opposed to Israel’s taking such action.

That means that there is a sizable majority of Jews who support military action that would likely not work over military action that has a greater chance of working. Because remember – Iran has committed to attacking Israel in response to an attack by Israel OR by the US. So the resulting war would be identical – the only question is who should start it. And about one-fifth of American Jews have concluded that they’d rather have it started in a way that minimizes the chances of success.
