I can't answer that. But a far more interesting question arises. The Jews, along with the Chinese, are among the oldest civilizations in the world -- with this, you would agree, no? Yet, there are more than a billion Chinese. For that matter, there are more than a billion Indians. Why are there only 15 Million Jews in the world today? Probably for the same reason there are not a lot of Romanish/gypsies. I think its due to the Great Diaspora and then later bearing the stigma of having allegedly killed Jesus Christ......forcing them into permanent exile and a gypsy like existence. I think rather than comparing them to the Chinese and Indians, a better comparison would be to the cultures that no longer exist. Unlike other cultures long since gone, I believe the Jews survived because they became adept at living on the fringe which culled their population for only the smartest and most adaptive.
