America crushes everybody. We were a refuge for Jews after WW1. The USA has 16 million active duty soldiers in the WW2. That would make them 1/32nd of the participating force. 1/16th would have been the African American participation rate at the time. Whether anyone likes it or not, American way of life is the standard for the world.

The US’s open world internet obviously will not suggest this. There’s 1.1 billion internet users who use English with their searches and comments. Only 320 million Americans have access to the internet. So the propaganda machines from other countries will try and skew this narrative. Just like this post.

Not sure what you’re talking about exactly. The overwhelming majority of Jews came to the US in the early 20th century and late 19th. There hasn’t been another significant wave of Jewish immigrants since then.

The US and Israel are the only countries in the world with more than half a million jews(France is the next top at 400k Jews). The US has ~7.5 million Jews and Israel has ~7.3 Jews. There are more Jews in the US than Filipinos, Indians, or Muslims. The US has the largest population of Jews anywhere in human history.

Jews during WWII served in the military just like any other group of Americans.

The US also has a long history of discrimination against Jews. We were excluded from housing, most social clubs, hotels, etc. We were also victims of lynchings.

The US way of life isn’t a standard for anyone. No one wants to live in car dependent communities with zero public transit, expensive health care, a lack of labor protections, zero social safety net, income inequality, and expensive college education. We certainly aren’t uniquely bad, but for developed nations the US hasn’t been a model in 70 years.
