Prediction: Poland to be World Superpower in XXI century [147]
PlasticPole, you are talking mostly near history, a history Jews learnt to convert the knowledge to the money.
Lands were not given to Jews in Europe for centuries as they were considered like Gypsies. Hence, they learnt and used to live without any land. If you were such a Jew, what could you do? You'd do some craft works, etc, wouldn't you? Jews had done that, progressed more and later they became top scientists for centuries. Europe and later USA learnt the science from Jews. Yes, they were at the mercy of Kings, etc from time to time, but, our kings were maniacs, primitives.. whose minds were not working well for such technological things, but for dark religious wars..
By the way, not all kings were stupids.. Take this Ottoman king who is known also as scientist and poet. His famous quote when Jews were being deported from Spain to Ottoman lands. From Wiki: The Sultan is said to have exclaimed thus at the Spanish monarch's lack of wisdom:
"Ye call Ferdinand a wise king he who makes his land poor and ours rich!". See.. it was during Ottoman's peak power times.. See, Jews contributed even to Ottomans. They contributed to Europe, to Ottomans, to Germany, to USA, to Russia, etc much.. And, they are still not appreciated.. Same west, same west.. Jealousy is high.
