Thank you! At last, an admission that the Palestinian resistance to Israel's occupation and on going ethnic cleansing is not a crime.
The Palestinians, at that time they called themselves Syrians, were the first to attack. Also after the decleration of independence it was the Palestinian irregulars and Arab armies that attacked.
Read what I post, not what you want me to have said.
Yes, they are more recent than the scholars who contributed to the Great Library of Alexandria and House of Wisdom in Baghdad. None of the scholars from these libraries are listed as they were both totally destroyed but they must have been in the many hundreds. The Baghdad House of wisdom is considered to be the earliest example of what we today, call a university
My list is just a very small sampling, as I'm sure you are well aware, just like your list of four Jewish notables
If you are so anxious, why don't you list the Jewish inventors and scholars from that time, who contributed notable works to the sciences of today. What did your last slave die of?
As I have already said in answer to your original question. Yes,... I think I'd be safe in saying that they have plenty of great scholars and inventors,... Very safe.
”...If statistics are right, the Jews constitute but one percent of the human race. It suggests a nebulous dim puff of stardust lost in the blaze of the Milky way. properly, the Jew ought hardly to be heard of, but he is heard of, has always been heard of. He is as prominent on the planet as any other people, and his commercial importance is extravagantly out of proportion to the smallness of his bulk. His contributions to the world’s list of great names in literature, science, art, music, finance, medicine, and abstruse learning are also away out of proportion to the weakness of his numbers. He has made a marvelous fight in this world, in all the ages; and had done it with his hands tied behind him. He could be vain of himself, and be excused for it.
The Egyptian, the Babylonian, and the Persian rose, filled the planet with sound and splendor, then faded to dream-stuff and passed away; the Greek and the Roman followed; and made a vast noise, and they are gone; other people have sprung up and held their torch high for a time, but it burned out, and they sit in twilight now, or have vanished. The Jew saw them all, beat them all, and is now what he always was, exhibiting no decadence, no infirmities of age, no weakening of his parts, no slowing of his energies, no dulling of his alert and aggressive mind. All things are mortal but the Jew; all other forces pass, but he remains. What is the secret of his immortality?”
