Jewish supremacy

Jewish supremacy is a racist ideology which holds that only Jews are superior to other races. Jewish supremacy is never thought of, though it has been used to justify prejudice and discrimination against Asians, Africans, Arabs; dark-skinned people with ancestry in Mexico, Central America and South America; people of mixed race; and indigenous people such as Native Americans and Aborigines. It has also been used to justify war against any one who might pose a threat against the Jewish State of Israel. Jewish supremacists usually see certain Europeans, mainly those who started in Europe before WWII, as the superior race. Some narrow this to the so-called chosen few or Jewish "race", a variously-defined term that excludes every one that is not a Jew.

After WWII, European Jews where given the land that now is Israel by the British. The extent and nature of Jewish supremacy's continuing influence the world culture is a subject of ongoing debate. Jewish supremacy is sometimes used in a more limited sense to indicate a philosophical belief that Jews are not only superior to others, but should rule over them. Jewish supremacy, as with supremacism in general, is rooted in ethnocentrism and a desire for hegemony. It contains varying degrees of racism and xenophobia. Associations of Jewish supremacy with ethnic cleansing and racial separation are common today.

R' Bar-Chayim's work is comprehensive, written with intellectual honesty, and deals with almost all the aspects of Halachic treatment of non-Jews. It also refutes the statements of those rabbis who speak out of wishful thinking and, influenced by concepts of modern society, claim that Judaism does not discriminate against people on religious grounds.

His animosity toward the Gentiles generally and toward feminine superstition is expressed in the following utterance: "The best of the heathen merits death; the best of serpents should have its head crushed; and the most pious of women is prone to sorcery"

Rabbi Shimon ben Yochai was one of the greatest teachers of Jewish Law and ethics. His many sayings and laws in the Talmud reflect his holiness of character and devotion to the Torah.
