I mean, they invented a religion that places them as God’s chosen people

Can you name a single religion whose creators didn't?

    I think most don't, and even in Judaism it's the more ethno-nationalist (i.e. Zionist) adherents that believe it. Christian nationalists and evangelicals do, but I don't think Protestants or Catholics do. And outside of Abrahamic religions, like Hinduism, at most it's kind of a "we're right you're wrong but idgaf", unless again you're getting into Hindu ethno-nationalism, but then the religion is just an excuse for facism and genocide, which brings us back around again.

    Buddhism. Gnostic Christianity. Hinduism. Probably a whole bunch more, I'm no theologian.

    The hideousflaw in the post you're replying to isn't that, though. It's the idea that Israel invented Judaism, that Judaism is a monolith, that Israel is run on Jewish lines, and that Jews everywhere look to Israel for leadership.

    That's some fucked-up thinking there. That thinking sucks.

    Buddhism

    The ones who believe the only way to reach Nirvana is to follow the rigid steps of the Budda and no one else can enter?

    A little bit of a stretch, and they have a different idea for "god" but it's the same general idea, just no personification
