Why is it not true of other immigrants? Why were the Jews so upwardly mobile? The answer is actually extremely heartbreaking. Other immigrant communities continued to supply that first generation that would work in the sweatshops. The Jews, after 1933, that supply was cut off and by 1945 it was dead.
The Jewish community very much misunderstands ourselves in America. A lot of Jews feel like they are an immigrant community, they feel that they are an oppressed minority. We're neither of those things. All right everybody, it's Michael Shermer. It's time for another episode of the Michael Shermer Show.
This one is a very important and slightly dark topic. I'm gonna introduce our guest by reminding you all of what happened after October 7th, 2023, the day after Hamas killed 1,200 Israelis. The Democratic Socialists of America held a protest. Oh, yeah, I bet they were protesting the killers. No, in solidarity with the Palestinian people and their right to resist 75 years of occupation and apartheid.
