The "Chosen" People

I do not know if it is such a good thing to be Jewish as I am, as I note two of the four victims of the Manhattan murderer were women who were Jews. Yes, with us constituting two tenths of one percent of the world's population, half of the innocent lives taken were of my coreligionists. Odds would be incalculable against such a tiny minority being slaughtered at random but our good Lord tolerated that hit by lightning type of event. If we are this "chosen", perhaps we would fare better if G-d picks some other group.
