Jewish Nobel Prize Winners Article Draws Fire

By Michael Lang on Aug 10, 2008 in RELIGION - OR LACK OF

This is The Lang Report’s response to comments made on the article, JEWISH NOBEL PRIZE WINNERS…..Why So Many? written last October.

I wrote the article on the extraordinary amount of Nobel prizes won by people of Jewish ancestry compared to other population segments. I stated that I was not going to make any judgments as to why that is so and was merely publishing the existing facts as they are and available to all.

My motivation for writing the article in the first place began when I read another article on Nobel Prize winners and was intrigued as to why so many were of Jewish ancestry especially since the choosing of winners is apolitical and conducted behind closed doors.

I mention this only because I am used to the anti-semitic remarks made about how the “Jews control everything…the banks, the media, etc.” and didn’t want any of these vermin to say that Jews control the Nobel Prize process too!

Unbeknownst to me, the article has received more comments, by far, than any other article published on The Lang Report before and since that time which I find extremely interesting, especially since the comments have run the gamut of emotions, political and religious belief systems.

The interesting part is that all I did was re-print some statistics which are mere statement of fact. This and only this ignited what happened next which you can see for yourself by going to the original article here.

Check it out and maybe there will be something to learn from the comments about the comments. OK?
