A casual observer may draw (perhaps wrongly) the conclusion that their
is a distinct pro-western bias in awarding Nobel prizes. Seeing as
there are in excess of 1 billion Indians and 1200 million Chinese do
the awards made to nationals of those two countries accurately reflect
their pro****tion of the world's population or do they exhibit some
cultural bias? BTW, it is known that papers not published in English
receive far less publicity, distribution and credit than the
equivalent paper republished in English has and would.

Further, I would point out that Albert Einstein lived in Europe and
migrated to the USA. The state of Israel did not exist until 1948 and
yet you have used data erroneously from before that state existed in
sup****t of your argument.

I'm glad you gave up physics (or that physics gave you up).

The Jews did have a terrorist gang in their time. Known as the Stern
Gang and you may reference it on wikipedia under the name of 'Lehi'.

Because they have the might of the USA aiding them.

Muslims are not the only people who possess slaves. Many countries
around the world have militant leaders calling for jihad/revolution/
crusades, etc.

Perhaps the USA should get behind a real solution to the problem
rather than allowing it to drag on forever.
