As the most intelligent people in the world, why is the Jewish population so small?

After thousands of years of development, the number of about 10 million people is even several times less than some other ethnic minorities. So why, with their intelligence and talent, the Jewish population does not increase?

As the most intelligent people in the world, why is the Jewish population so small? - 1 — After 2000 years of existence and development, the total population of the Jewish people is only 10 million people.

"Closed-door" policy

Unlike other nations that pursued a strategy of openness and colonization, the Jews followed a self-contained path. In order to maintain their religion and customs, they refused to intermarry and integrate with other nations.

This limited the expansion of the Jewish population.

Excluded by outsiders

There was a movement of anti-Semitism in history, they were expelled, had no home of their own. At that time, they relied on business to make a living, but Jewish businessmen were known to be cunning and ruthless.

In many European countries, they were considered an inferior race. Under this contempt, no country was willing to integrate the Jews.

Facing genocide

The Jews are both the most outstanding and the most pitiful people, they were killed and tortured continuously for hundreds of years. There are currently no exact statistics on the number of people killed in the Holocaust in different countries.

So many people were killed that the number of Jews dropped sharply, while fertility could not keep up so the population could not grow effectively.

Currently, there are only a few million Jews living mainly in Israel and Arabia.
