I grew up in a 99% Jewish neighborhood! Did you?

[GammaGlobulin]

My Dear Gentile Friends:

 

Maybe you wonder why I seem so ....

Out of Touch, at times, on this forum.

 

I think it must be that your sense of humor and mine...might....

Not be the same.

 

Jewish humor is something to be savored, and also something that most gentiles cannot appreciate.

 

This is not my fault.

I am a product of my upbringing.

 

Also, I have spent most of my adult years in Asia.

Therefore, unlike most of you, I see the world from a different perspective, and ... NOT....from the perspective of....a....

Cabby in London.

 

Would I trade my early years for anything?

No.

I would not.

 

I love the fact that I grew up in a Jewish neighborhood, and I would not have it any other way.

 

So, then....

 

Does anyone here know any good Jewish Jokes?

 

And, do you even know what Jewish humor might be?

 

Jewish humor is like fine wine......

And most cannot truly appreciate it, if one is a gentile....

 

Here is just one example:

 

 

But, NO, the above is NOT, anywhere NEAR, the best example of Jewish humor.

 

Maybe I will add a few Jewish Jokes...below,....

When I am ready.

 

Growing up in a Jewish neighborhood, being one of the sole surviving gentiles is my principle claim to fame.

 

I would not have had it any other way.

 

I am grateful for this.

 

Now, I guess, you know a bit more about me.

 

And, also, you might know, now, why I stick out like a sore thumb, too....because...

I know you care about this.

 

Regards,

Gamma

 

Note:  I bet that you might not know just how much an Asian neighborhood and a Jewish neighborhood might share in common.  

 

Please remind me to tell you, sometime....

Anything BUTT!

 

Surely, you can be more humorous.

 

I value my heritage given me by the neighborhood that created me.

Tight arse to a whole new dimension though.

So tight they squeek when they walk.

Since the same can be said of Arabs , Chinese, Indians and a dozen other nationalities this worn out old prejudice seems almost harmless.  Sounding like the passive bigotry of the average dullard who has never actually met a Jew nor done any business with Arabs Chinese, Indians, etc.

 

However it does not negate the fact you are trading in antisemitic tropes.

As you say...

I am the ULTIMATE dullard, as everyone knows, on TV.

 

See you in Princeton, Baby....

 

Next life.

 

Or, I am sure it was not Yale.

 

Take care, though....

 

And, thankfully, it was not Cornell, with all that ugly campus architecture to put up with for four years.

 

How can they even stand to live for four years on that ugly campus?

You forgot the Scots. Many who would agree to the above. Great friends. Got a few Jewish friends. They're a bit more sensitive but still are quite chilled. Let's just get on together and enjoy what we have in life and don't over think things!

And as for the OP, I thought you were a lot smarter than to bring such sensitive subject

when these days, everybody doing their best looking for a reason to hate and blame Jews?

Please go back to your usual BS, hare-brained topics where you excel the most...

Why?

 

I will TELL YOU WHY!

 

1.  I am getting old now.  And, I look back at my roots.  And, I very much value the Jewish neighborhood in which I grew up.  This made me what I am.

 

2.  "These Days", as you say, are just like any other days.  These days are just the same days as they always were.  So then, can I NEVER broach this subject?  Do tell!

 

3.  I have never submitted a Topic which was totally harebrained.  It might be ONLY YOU who interprets my Topics as being harebrained.

 

4.  Also, I do NOT blame the Jews for making me live in a Jewish neighborhood!  Instead, I THANK the Jews for making me one of them, during the time I grew up in my Jewish neighborhood....

 

I loved it there.

 

5.  Something that you might not know is this:

 

There is a high similarity between Jewish culture and Asian culture, and this.....most likely.... is why I have always felt so at home in Asia, not to mention Thailand, and specifically Chiang Mai.

 

There are MANY things that you might not know about me, and about Asia.

 

Feel free to query me regarding almost anything that you might not understand.

 

I am Asian, yes.

I am also, in some important respects, a Jew, too.

 

Should I riff on further about this?

I think, no need.

 

Just let it be said that I am grateful to have lived in the place where I grew up, as a young hottentot, and I learned a lot, while there.

 

I am a product of my environment.

Dear Gamma,

There's a place and time to bring certain topics up, now it's not a good time to post anything about Jews/Israel

as many trolls everywhere just looking for a chance to take a simple post and muck it up and you seems to be

learned enough to know it...

So say you.

However, as I am sure you know, and in all honesty, I grew up in a Jewish neighborhood...and....

I loved it there.

 

I am only reminiscing in my old age.

I want people to know just how great it was.

 

I thought it might be interesting to some.

 

Plenty of great Deli Food, too!!!!!!

 

It was GREAT, in fact.

Sorry, didn't read it correctly...

[GammaGlobulin]

In my opinion, for what it might be worth....

 

There are several important similarities shared between Asian culture and Jewish culture.

At least, as I knew it, while growing up.

 

Do I even need to point these out?

 

I think not.

That’s why I quoted article which states no of noble prices Jews received which is far higher and pretty much responsible for modern world.

Of the 965 individual recipients of the Nobel Prizeand the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciencesbetween 1901 and 2023,^[1] at least 214 have been Jews or people with at least one Jewish parent, representing 22% of all recipients. Jews comprise only 0.2% of the world's population, meaning their share of winners is 110 times their proportion of the world's population.^[2][3][4][5]
 

^{on other hand Muslims won only 4 , 3 of them being American Muslim and one <deleted> nuclear theif.}

[ozimoron]

I grew up in a town where neither Jews nor Muslims existed in any significant numbers. Those Muslims that were there there all Indonesian or Malay. My experience of both cultures has come only from education.

I was invited.

Many times.

 

Andy Glick invited me, many times.

 

As did many others.

 

A great place to grow up.

 

Note:  Also, in my neighborhood, I was the TOKEN Gentile, and so they HAD to invite me, ...  maybe....

I never even knew any Jewish people until I was out of high school. Now I would say that most of my friends back in the States are Jewish. I can't remember many Jewish jokes. I was taken to something where they had a comedian who told Jewish jokes. Very funny. I remember he did some about dating ads. A 90-year-old man, not looking for long-term relationship. An three-time widow looking for someone to fill out a four-place burial plot. Ofcourse, some of the best comedians of all time were Jewish.

Indeed. Once in a while, this guy—in one guise or another—can post something of interest. But, today, this ain’t it. 
 

And, what humour? There’s really only one group that has a proper handle on it in this world. Much of the time, to others, it is so convoluted that it goes over their heads.

Even Tel Aviv is not 99% Jewish I couldn't imagine any neighbourhood in the world being 99%

the fact you even refer to yourself in this manner is sad. 

[habuspasha]

I too grew up in an overwhelmingly Jewish community.  My Irish Catholic mother once asked me why I didn't have any Christian friends.  All my closest friends in college were also Jewish.  They taught me how to think.  Without them I may not have graduated.  With their influence I became curious and thoughtful.  Though not particularly funny.  They saved my bacon.  And they were the first people to show me that Israel was not what it purported to be, but a model of settler colonialism--and that was in the 1960s.
