'''Jews''' are members of an ethnoreligious group linked by shared history, culture, civilization, ethical values and experiences arising from [[Judaism]]. The Jews are depicted in the [[Holy Bible]] as a people who, after being chosen by [[God]],<ref>{{#bible: Deuteronomy 14:2}}</ref> entered into a cycle of disobeying God, being punished by God, repenting, being forgiven by God, and then going back to their old ways of disobedience. This rebellion involved killing their own prophets and, according to the New Testament, their Messiah.<ref>{{#bible: Acts 7:51-53}}</ref> In the epistle to the Romans, [[Paul of Tarsus]] states that the zeal of the Jews toward God is "not according to knowledge."<ref>{{#bible: Romans 10:1-3}}</ref>

	Jews and the Jewish nation, [[Israel]], have been the subject of much controversy. For many centuries, Jews have been accused of undermining the good of the societies in which they have lived, and have been ordered or pressured to leave various countries. A notable example was the Edict of Expulsion, issued by Edward I of England in 1290. Although Jews are only 2 percent of the U.S. population,<ref>{{cite news\|url=http://forward.com/articles/149492/us-jewish-population-pegged-at--million/\|publisher=The Jewish Daily Forward\|title=U.S. Jewish Population Pegged at 6 Million\|author=Zeveloff, Naomi\|date=17 January 2012}}</ref> they are a politically and economically influential group; for example, three of the nine current [[U.S. Supreme Court Justices]], [[Ruth Bader Ginsburg]], [[Stephen Breyer]], and [[Elena Kagan]], are Jewish. It is generally considered politically expedient for U.S. politicians to pledge military and other support for Israel, an important ally of the United States in the [[Middle East]]. Most Jews have a [[right of return]] to Israel; this rule, and the Israeli state, were set up after [[World War II]] and [[the Holocaust]] largely to provide a refuge for Jews fleeing [[anti-Semitic~~]] persecution.~~		Jews and the Jewish nation, [[Israel]], have been the subject of much controversy.

			Some notable Jews who were important in the history of the [[libertarian]] movement were [[Ludwig von Mises]], [[Murray Rothbard]], [[Ayn Rand]], and [[Milton Friedman]]. Many Jews have been active in the civil liberties movement, including [[Alan Dershowitz]] and [[Julian Heicklen]]. [[Alfred Jay Nock]] was accused of [[antisemitism]], or at least of failing to adequately denounce antisemitism, because of an article he wrote, ''The Jewish Problem in America''.<ref>{{cite web\|url=http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/1941/07/the-jewish-problem-in-america/306269/1/\|title=The Jewish Problem in America\|author=Nock, Alfred Jay\|date=July 1941\|publisher=The Atlantic}}</ref><ref>{{cite web\|url=http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/1941/08/the-anti-semitic-problem-in-america/306274/\|title=The Anti-Semitic Problem in America\|author=Marshall, James\|date=August 1941\|publisher=The Atlantic}}</ref>

	Various people and organizations within the Jewish community have made a rather impressive [[prison solidarity]] effort of visitation and newsletters to the incarcerated.
