Well here is the thing. I am a Jew. I ma proud of the high percentage of
Nobel Prize winners are Jews. But I would embarrassed and repelled by a
video that took the same attitude about Jews that the video took about

not exist I mean. The video was arrogant and self-serving. And is
certainly OT for this list.
