Dont know about all, but Quark Nog and Rom all were and the Grand Nagus was too. These characters were mostly developed by jews too.

The Rules of Acquisition are too on the nose to be anything but Judaism

A contract is a contract is a contract… but only between Ferengi

I feel that the Dominion was also inspired by jews. The changlings were supposedly once persecuted by solids (so they say) and they thusly justified engineering all these golem races to control and exploit the Gamma quadrant tyrannically. Which is classic jew mentality.

It's a great show and one of the best ways to point out race and culture. There seemed to me two jew races in DS9; the Ferengi were the "money" jews while the Bajoran's were the 6 gorillion jews, persecuted by the Cardassians in their nazi uniforms.

Yeah youre right. Bajorans are 6 gorillion meme. Always whining about the occupation. With their stupid earrings and their loose knit sweaters and earthy boho outfits. Ech! Eventually I came to sympathize with the Cardis. Their outfits were like Hugo Boss in space.

I always thought of the Bajorans as representing the Muslims and the Ferengi the Jews. It didn't take me long to sympathize with the Cardis and hope they exterminate the annoying Bajorans.

Interesting. I never thought about the muzzies.

Every alien race on Deep Space 9 is meant to satirize some aspect of jewish identity. Just don't assume a based writing staff snuck those rather oblique references in. These are stereotypes by jews, for jews. DS9 is best viewed as a study of the jew mindset and the things about themselves they accept as being true.

Yeah, that stuff just comes out of the woodwork for those of us in the know. It goes right over the head of your average NPC.

All of the alien races in DS9 are the stereotype jews.

Bajoran - Orthodox
Cardasians - Zionists
Changlings - Changlings
Ferangis - Merchants
Founders - Dual Citizen Politicians

Skipping the Muh Nigger Race episodes its overall great show.

Jem Hadar - BLM golems

Think territory belongs to them, oppresses the previous owners in camps(gaza)

Remember how the bartender was disgusted that his mother wore clothes?

Remember the one physically violent race that was addicted to a synthetic chemical and would die without it? 🤣

The Jem’Hadar

Also Babylon 5’s Minbari always seems a bit jewy.
