Jewish?

Dear Auntie Greg

Because i am a jewish super hero, my problems make it very difficult to get all kosher on ya gentile criminal ass. If Moses was such a great guy, sent by god, blah blah blah, then why did he lead the jews round the middle east for 50 years before settling in an area devoid of oil or anything useful? only desert. not so great now is he? also if the stereotypical jew is fond of money, and israel is full of jews...then why isnt israel the richest country in the world? see my problem, it makes me as unhappy as a jew without a savings account.

Yours
Super Jew

Dear Super Jew,
It was very pleasing to receive your problem, this was mainly because of the fact that I had never considered Moses from this particular angle before. However, I would say that his mistake may well have been down to God not informing Moses of how important that slippery black substance would be in the future. Therefore, I would firstly say that you shouldn't pin too much blame to the poor old fellow.
Next, as far as your thoughts on "why isn't Israel the richest country in the world?" I'm inclined to believe that the main asset of the stereotypical Jew on the street is his or her thrift. This would mean therefore that despite being extremely good at managing their money, there is no guarantee that they would have any wealth in the first place.
I hope that response is adequate in your eyes. The thing I would say is, watch out, because with a sniff of money they'll be on the up again. They don't call them God's chosen race for nothing you know.
Much love,
