The role of the diaspora in weakening the cultural status of the Jews

The researcher in Jewish history realizes, beyond any doubt, that Jews do not possess a civilization. However, what are the reasons for the absence of Jewish civilization, despite the fact that Jews have existed since ancient times and have access to considerable financial resources? The formation of civilizations throughout history can be attributed to many factors, with one of the most important being the pursuit of establishing a civilization. Islamic civilization, for example, derived its significance from the Islamic religion, the Quran, the Sunnah, and preceding civilizations such as the Greek and Roman civilizations. It sought to establish a civilization because it realized that the possessor of civilization could possess, transform, and influence. As for Christianity, its civilization remained weak for many reasons, primarily due to asceticism, resulting in isolation from others, and a lack of interest in forming a civilization in the first place. Judaism, on the other hand, was far from forming a civilization, or rather, its civilization was weak due to nationalism, isolationism, and ethnic factors.

The Jews preferred to engage in trade, usury, and similar activities, as these occupations did not require long-term settlement in one place, and urbanization and construction often necessitate a long time and an established civilization and organized state. As we have demonstrated, the Jews do not have a civilization, which is a natural result of the Jewish Diaspora. There is hardly any real civilizational contribution that can be attributed to the Jews as a whole or as a complete society
