Interesting observations about Religion > Jews

1

Jews are global parasites who demand full control shortly after they settle in a particular country. If they have money, it's only because they steal it, not because they earn it. Most of them wouldn't know an honest days work if it hit them in the face. They roam around the globe from country to country, steal money, demand superior legal status and special treatment, subdue the indigenous population, and then leave after they've ruined everything. They fleece and flee.

Where is Greece? I believe there are 5,000 Jews living in Athens alone.
