Tony Greenstein affects to believe that I am a secret advocate of race science on the basis of a post (below) in which I cite advocates of superior Jewish “intelligence” as one view attempting to explain the existence of Jewish privilege.
Readers can see for themselves, but I was in no way endorsing the material in the screenshots I shared.
The screenshots of the two papers are both in a long line of literature which claims to explain social outcomes in terms of IQ or “intelligence”. But do these theories work to explain Jewish privilege?
Richard Lynn is a co-author of both. He is a long time advocate of racial science as are a number of Zionist advocates of these kind of arguments. These include Steven Pinker, the geneticist, Nicholas Wade, Charles Murray (of the Bell Curve), Jordan Peterson and the journalist Andrew Sullivan.
But are they right?
Short answer: No.
Here is the way in which Gavin Evans, who is, like me, an opponent of race science, sets out the arguments from back in 2018.
Evans goes on, in this long read in the Guardian, to neatly skewer the arguments from race science as follows:
In other words the alleged intelligence of the Jews is neither true nor, therefore, an explanatory factor in the fact of relative Jewish privilege.
So, can we please desist from making daft, nay embarrassing, claims like this?

There will perhaps be more to say about this shortly.

Good to see him distance himself from racial 'science' in this way, but it's not really the main point of TG's objection. Hopefully the silence indicates he's taken it on board and will rethink his approach, but if it's been a year and he's only gotten worse the signs are 'not good, believe me, not good' (h/t DJT via DD)
reluctant jeers,
