Comparison of Arab and Jewish Nobel Prize Winners

Today's Blog may seem like a strange subject for a medical missionary in Honduras to be writing about, but in the last few weeks I have heard a lot of anti-Jewish sentiment in Honduras, from rank and file Hondurans. It is amazing how the press can really manipulate people's ideas about any given subject.  There is a growing resentment for "turkos" and "Jews" here.  

The less educated the people, the more easily they can be swayed.  It is imperative that we stand with the Jewish people in their time of need.  Iran is now supposedly going to get uranium from Hugo Chavez in Venezuela; supposedly Nicaragua has agreed to build a nuclear sight in conjunction with Iran.  And don't be fooled, Fidel Castro is not letting his political prisoners go just for the fun of it.  

It is time to pray and time to educate people.  The sea, the Gulf of Mexico, has turned to red.[i]  Perhaps this is a foreshadowing of what is predicted in Revelations.  There are earthquakes all over the world; there are wars and rumors of wars.[ii]  I think we are seeing signs of the times.  

The Bible says that “you will know people by their fruit”.[iii]  Below is a list of fruit in the form of contributions made to the world.

After reviewing this list, can you supply a reason for the large discrepancy between the Arab/Islamic population's contribution to the world body and that of the Jew? There are 165 Jews listed as opposed to 6 from the Arab side.[iv]
        
The Jews are NOT promoting brain washing children in military training camps, teaching them how to blow themselves up and cause maximum deaths of Jews and other non Muslims. 
                
The Jews don't hijack planes, nor kill athletes at the Olympics, or blow themselves up in German restaurants.
                
There is NOT one single Jew who has destroyed a church.
The Jews don't traffic slaves, nor have leaders calling for Jihad and death to all the Infidels.
        
Perhaps the world's Muslims should consider investing more in standard education and less in blaming the Jews for all their problems.
                       
Muslims must ask what they can do for humankind before they demand that humankind respects them.
        
Regardless of your feelings about the crisis between Israel and the Palestinians and Arab neighbors, even if you believe there is more culpability on Israel's part, the following two sentences really say it all: If the Arabs put down their weapons today, there would be no more violence.  If the Jews put down their weapons today, there would be no more Israel ." – Benjamin Netanyahu
        
General Eisenhower warned Us.  It is a matter of history that when the Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces, General Dwight Eisenhower, found the victims of the death camps he ordered all possible photographs to be taken, and for the German people from surrounding villages to be ushered through the camps and even made to bury the dead.
        
He did this because he said in words to this effect: 'Get it all on record now - get the films - get the witnesses -because somewhere down the road of history some bastard will get up and say that this never happened'

Recently, the UK debated whether to remove The Holocaust from its school curriculum because it "offends" the Muslim population which claims it never occurred. It is not removed as yet. However, this is a frightening portent of the fear that is gripping the world and how easily each country is giving into it.
        
It is now more than 60 years after the Second World War in Europe ended.
Now, more than ever, with Iran, among others, claiming the Holocaust to be 'a myth,' it is imperative to make sure the world never forgets.  How many years will it be before the attack on the World Trade Center 'NEVER HAPPENED' because it offends some Muslim in the United States?


[i] Revelation 8:8 And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood;
Revelation 16:3 And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead man: and every living soul died in the sea.
[ii] Matthew 24:7 Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places.
[iii] John 15:8 Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.

  1. Interesting. What do you make of it that there are less than half a dozen women on this list?

  2. That is an incredible list and incredible statistics. Netanyahu's quote is powerful and very believable.

  3. What I make of the fact that there are few women on the list, is that every single one of these winners had a mother who gave their everything for their child to succeed. For years women have given up education and careers in order to better take care of their families. That will probably continue, but they were probably sitting at the kitchen table with these Nobel Winners during their formative years teaching them to be successful adults. I for one am thrilled when I see my children succeed.
