To me the Japanese are the smartest people.

I find the Japanese to be industrious but not necessarily the smartest people.

Doh! Really? They did a study?
You don't need a study.
Did they do a study on the dumbest people?

No, they would never do that. Too many thin-skinned people would find the results offensive.

You mean the smartest person isn't leroy?

I guess that's why we are so crafty and beguiling.

Today when I hear all the cheering in Israel when Obama commands us to commit national suicide I think Jews are the dumbest people on earth.

Im beginning to feel this way too.

Maybe those are spys

IF they are so smart, why did 80 percent of 'em vote for Barack Hu-Satan?

I brought this up before... I think there is an unfortunate link between intelligence and self-hatred.... :(

"As an individual a Jew is pretty smart. When they get together they are not too smart at all, well below non-Jews!" (Ariel Sharon y"sh"vz)

Obama may have gotten a loud show of support but not because Jews as a whole agree with his national suicide. But because for publicity reasons, the organizers of the event are sure to get left minded liberals to attend. That's why he got cheers.
I would have loved to see obama give his speech to a room full of religious Jews, Kahanists, Zionists etc.. He would not have gotten that same reaction. But politicians hire people to make sure that rarely happens.
As far as Jews being the smartest... I have heard that often. For the reasons the rabbi in the video has stated. For hundreds of years, Jews living in little shtetls or within the local Jewish village. It created a smaller gene pool and with the value of study. Hours of study every day. Learning Hebrew and the local language. Plus Aramaic plus other languages like Yiddish, Ladino or the other local Jewish dialects. Memorizing large portions of the Torah, careful study of the Talmud. Memorizing Halacha etc... etc..
No surprise to me.

I disagree... I do not believe it has anything to do with studying, I believe it is a gift from G-d, because the Jews took the yoke of the laws of G-d...

Omgosh yes. How could I have missed that. I agree. I should have added that to what I said previously. It is spark, resilience, the deep desire to live to make the world a better place. The spark given by G-d. Like He said to Israel "I took you out of Egypt to be my most treasured possession".
All over nations that existed back then are gone. Who are the Romans now. The ancient Greeks, the Philistines, the Canaanites, the Phoenicians, the Assyrians. The Mesopotamian, the Babylonians. The Egyptian empire fell.
They are nothing but dust now and their descendants are scattered throughout the earth like dried up sand. None of them are an empire today, none of them have their ancient written today and none of them have their traditions passed down from generation to generation. Only Israel has that. And yes, it was a G-d given gift! So yes I agree.
Like Mark Twain said:
The Egyptian, the Babylonian, and the Persian rose, filled the planet with sound and splendor, then faded to dream-stuff and passed away; the Greek and the Roman followed, and made a vast noise, and they are gone; other peoples have sprung up and held their torch high for a time, but it burned out, and they sit in twilight now, or have vanished.
The Jew saw them all, beat them all, and is now what he always was, exhibiting no decadence, no infirmities of age, no weakening of his parts, no slowing of his energies, no dulling of his alert and aggressive mind. All things are mortal but the Jew; all other forces pass, but he remains. What is the secret of his immortality?
