You know, there's a simple truth that most people don't realize, but would agree with if they thought about it. Theologians tend to know this if they've studied Jewish history at all. That simple truth is that Jews are funny people. They make some of the best comedians and satirical writers in the world. Many argue that this is because of their story, their history. Indeed, it seems fair to say that you would need to learn to laugh, even if in a cynical sardonic way, if you had the background the the Jewish people have had. Certainly there are sour Jews out there without a funny bone in their body, but these are the minority.
Consider
this contest being run by an Israeli publishing company. The quote that captures perfectly well why the Jews are such a sharp group,
“We’ll show the world we can do the best, sharpest, most offensive Jew hating cartoons ever published!” said Sandy “No Iranian will beat us on our home turf!”
It's just that sort of willingness to be self-depricating that lets them survive the horrors that their people have had to suffer.
