I think the point was to make you think... at least that's what the title of the thread would indicate.

Jews are smarter than Arabs?

The Noble committee is Jew lovers?

Oh, I know, because Arabs hate US so much they don't have time to think up important shit, hence their relatively low achievements.

Makes me think the whole premise is phased incorrectly.  It compares Jews only with Arabs and you can see why that could cause some consternation for some.  Better to see Jews compared against several large groups which might be more revealing without causing as much anxiously if such an exercise is needed at all. Of course I suppose you can include Arabs. How about against Orientals or Europeans or Americans (Canada, Mexico & USA)

Personally I don't think it reveals much except that they have their share of very intelligent people as a group.  Their has been a drought the last 10-15 years though. Likely because public opinion, I would guess.  Another thing, is the list complied of Jews world wide or just Israel? 

Makes me think that this is a frivolous way to spend time.  Wink

I left off some pejorative conclusions at the end of the original article.

As the text clearly states, the populations of Jews and Muslims are world-wide, not in any particular country.

I would have thought the article is more about the Muslims than the Jews, as the bit I cut off about the Palestine question makes clear.
