This is an article from an Israeli paper.
The author admits that Jews controle the Media and have a lot of political power.
He says: Do not deny this any longer.
Admit you have enormous power, and use it to make the world a better place.
This is a stance that I fully agree to.
But I am sure that this will never become the ruling jewish policy.
Why?
I am afraid its in the genes'.
It will never change, because the majority of jewish people just cannot behave different from what they do.
Here is the articel, and I copy as much of the website as possible, as it may disappear. It is an article that will generate a lot of critics and the pressure to take it from the site will be enormous.

Jews DO control the media
JULY 1, 2012, 11:05 AM 60
We Jews are a funny breed. We love to brag about every Jewish actor. Sometimes we even pretend an actor is Jewish just because we like him enough that we think he deserves to be on our team. We brag about Jewish authors, Jewish politicians, Jewish directors. Every time someone mentions any movie or book or piece of art, we inevitably say something like, “Did you know that he was Jewish?” That’s just how we roll.
We’re a driven group, and not just in regards to the art world. We have, for example, AIPAC, which was essentially constructed just to drive agenda in Washington DC. And it succeeds admirably. And we brag about it. Again, it’s just what we do.
But the funny part is when any anti-Semite or anti-Israel person starts to spout stuff like, “The Jews control the media!” and “The Jews control Washington!”
Suddenly we’re up in arms. We create huge campaigns to take these people down. We do what we can to put them out of work. We publish articles. We’ve created entire organizations that exist just to tell everyone that the Jews don’t control nothin’. No, we don’t control the media, we don’t have any more sway in DC than anyone else. No, no, no, we swear: We’re just like everybody else!
Does anyone else (who’s not a bigot) see the irony of this?
Let’s be honest with ourselves, here, fellow Jews. We do control the media. We’ve got so many dudes up in the executive offices in all the big movie production companies it’s almost obscene. Just about every movie or TV show, whether it be “Tropic Thunder” or “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” is rife with actors, directors, and writers who are Jewish. Did you know that all eight major film studios are run by Jews?
Pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty good. (photo credit: CC BY-SA Angela George/Wikimedia Commons)
But that’s not all. We also control the ads that go on those TV shows.
And let’s not forget AIPAC, every anti-Semite’s favorite punching bag. We’re talking an organization that’s practically the equivalent of the Elders of Zion. I’ll never forget when I was involved in Israeli advocacy in college and being at one of the many AIPAC conventions. A man literally stood in front of us and told us that their whole goal was to only work with top-50 school graduate students because they would eventually be the people making changes in the government. Here I am, an idealistic little kid that goes to a bottom 50 school (ASU) who wants to do some grassroots advocacy, and these guys are literally talking about infiltrating the government. Intense.
Now, I know what everyone will say. That everyone tries to lobby. Every minority group and every majority group. That every group has some successful actors and directors. But that’s a far call from saying that werun Hollywood and Madison Avenue. That the Mel Gibsons of the world are right in saying we’re deliberately using our power to take over the world. That we’ve got some crazy conspiracy going down.
Okay. Fine. So some of that is kooky talk.
But let’s look at it a bit deeper.
Maybe it’s true: everyone lobbies. Maybe it’s true there are actors of every ethnicity out there. But come on. We’re the ones who are bragging about this stuff all the time. Can’t we admit that we’re incredibly successful? Can’t we say it to the world?
I’ll give my theory for why Jews don’t want to talk about their control of the media.
First of all, as much as Jews like to admit that so many of them are successful, and that so many of them have accomplished so much, they hate to admit that it has to do with they’re being Jewish. Maybe they’ll admit that it has something to do with the Jewish experience. But how many Jews will admit that there is something inherently a part of every single one of them that helps them to accomplish amazing things?
The ADL chairman, Abe Foxman, was interviewed in a great articleabout the subject and he said that he “would prefer people say that many executives in the industry ‘happen to be Jewish.’” This just about sums up the party line.
The truth is, the anti-Semites got it right. We Jews have something planted in each one of us that makes us completely different from every group in the world. We’re talking about a group of people that just got put in death camps, endured pogroms, their whole families decimated. And then they came to America, the one place that ever really let them have as much power as they wanted, and suddenly they’re taking over. Please don’t tell me that any other group in the world has ever done that. Only the Jews. And we’ve done it before. That’s why the Jews were enslaved in Egypt. We were too successful. Go look at the Torah — it’s right there. And we did it in Germany too.
This ability to succeed, this inner drive, comes not from the years of education or any other sort of conditional factors, but because of the inner spark within each Jew.
Now, the reason groups like the ADL and AIPAC hate admitting this is because, first of all, they are secular organizations. Their whole agenda is to prove that every Jew is the same as every other person in the world. I cannot imagine a more outlandish agenda. No, we’re different. We’re special.
And clearly, that whole thing about big Jewish noses was totally blown out of proportion. (illustrative photo: Abir Sultan/Flash 90)
Of course, people hate when anyone says this. They assume that if you’re saying that Jews are special, it somehow implies that they’re better.
To be honest, I’m not really sure what the word “better” even means. What I do know is that being special simply means a person has a responsibility to do good.
I think that’s the real reason most Jews are so afraid to admit that there’s something inherently powerful and good about them. Not because they’re afraid of being special. But because they’re afraid of being responsible. It means that they’re suddenly culpable when they create dirty TV shows that sully the spiritual atmosphere of the world. It means that things can’t just be created for the sake of amusement or fun or even “art.”
Suddenly, we can’t screw up the world.
The interesting thing is that Jews have done so much for the world in so many other ways. They’ve moved forward civil rights; they’ve helped save lives in Darfur, Haiti and just about everywhere else.
But that’s not enough. Fixing the world physically is only half the battle.
Our larger battle, the harder battle, is elevating the world spiritually. And this is what the people that fight with every inch of their soul to prove that Jews are just the same as everyone else are afraid of. It means that we can no longer just “express ourselves.” We’ll have to start thinking about the things we create and the way we act. It means we’ll have to start working together. It means we’ll have to hold one other, and ourselves, to a higher standard.
The time has come, though. We no longer have to change our names. We no longer have to blend in like chameleons. We own a whole freaking country.
Instead, we can be proud of who we are, and simultaneously aware of our huge responsibility — and opportunity.

The BBC? CNN? The Guardian? Al-Jazeera? France2? Five extremely influential media on a global level, all extremely anti-Israel (if not all anti-Jewish), with no Jewish "control" or ownership.
Since you are so US-centric, let's look at the Jews in the top echelons of US media- which ones do you mean? The ones in Burbank who drum intermarriage and assimilation into the collective consciousness of the TV audience? The anti-Torah ones in the movie studios who perpetuate the ugliest of Jewish caricatures, such as Woody Allen and the Cohen brothers do? The Hollywood producers who have not made a single pro-Israel film since EXODUS in the 1960's? The owners of the NY Times who never miss a chance to demonize Israel and apologize for Islamic imperialism?
You've used your communication skills to write a ridiculous article which will gladden the hearts of Jew-haters everywhere, mazal tov.

I quote "As much as Jews like to admit that so many of them are successful, and that so many of them have accomplished so much, they hate to admit that it has to do with they’re being Jewish.

His point is simply that with all the power and influence that Jews carry, they have not leveraged it to bring more spirituality into the world, and often have done quite the contrary.
I do agree that much of the jewish influence is based in the US, but than again the US is still arguably the most powerful and influential country in the world, and Hollywood specifically has the singular ability to effect the mindsets of billions of people...

The ones in Burbank who drum intermarriage and assimilation into the collective consciousness of the TV audience?
Also a total lack of morality, and a selfish, sociopathic encouragement of violence and obscenity in society at large. Amoral plots. Sick perversion as normal. Nothing of G-d. No guilt. These men pretend to be Jewish, but they only pretend. They use Jews as the scapegoat, when they need us to hide behind. They do the evil that Jews get blamed for, and innocent Jews suffer, while they do not.

In understand your point, but I think you need to be a bit more careful with how you express things. We may have something in us that drives us to succeed, but we don't run the show, we are not in control of the US media, banking system, congress, etc......not in the US are we in control or elsewhere, and frankly, not even entirely in Israel. Major difference in being successful and being "in control".
George Dawson · Top Commenter · Lindenwood University
Good point. But there is influence. Certainly not orchestrated by a grand scheme, as the paranoid would have it. But there is an influence nonetheless. Personally, I believe a significant part of AIPAC's success has to do with the influence of modern Christian theology in the US; and that is the common belief that the arrival of Israel on the world stage is fulfillment of prophecy, foretold by Jesus and the prophets.
Robert Soran von Grosswardein · Top Commenter
There is no other (former) ethnic group in US with more power and control of the media, finance, politics, arts, etc. than the Jewish minority. This is the story the numbers tell, and this is the story the AIPAC conferences tell. How many congress(wo)men, senators, governors, ministers and Whit Housers can afford to miss them? Not many ...
We are successful not only individually or as families, the way usually the others do. No, we are also successful as a ethno-religious community, best integrated, but not assimilated. This is the big difference to all other people around us. Except a few, e.g. the Chinese, the Sikh communities.
And we are in part so successful in the Western world because of the Holocaust narrative that still guarantees us a kind of collective bonus. This is maybe an explanation why it is much more difficult for us to be individually and collectively successful in the Asian countries that had nothing to do with the Western, Christian antisemitism
George Dawson · Top Commenter · Lindenwood University
Interesting take. Success by the associative guilt of others. Not sure I buy it, but the Asian example seems credible. But then, how much integration of non-Asians is there in Asian societies?Reply ·

Check it out online...How convenient for you to say that they "have some Jewish blood relatives" but aren't really Jewish and yet you in the same breath will claim the Nazis were Christians. Do you see any hypocrisy in that???I am just saying,a Jewish person may not accept that these people are Jewish and I can see why, but by the same argument, the KKK who claim that they are a Christian organization and spread racism in the name of Christianity and the Nazis spread antisemitism and used some odd position of the Jews being Christ killers and yet did not follow the Bible or any of Christ's teachings as they murdered 6 million Jews. Overall, the Nazis murdered what was it, 15 million people, 6 million out of 15 million were Jews. Nine million were not Jews. Many Top Nazis that murdered Jews during the Holocaust were Jewish or at least had Jewish blood. Is that like these people going around saying that they are 1/4 Cherokee or some other Native American tribe? It wouldn't matter how much Jewish blood these guys had because they hated their Jewish heritage and were trying to prove how gentile they were. What was that doctor during the Holocaust called, the angel of death, Josef Mengele. He was Jewish and Adolf Eichman was also Jewish. If you reread my statement, I never said that the porn industry was a Jewish enterprise. I said that they are heavily concentrated in the porn industry, which could also be said of Hollywood.
George Dawson · Top Commenter · Lindenwood University
Kelly Jackson ->you said "yet you in the same breath will claim the Nazis were Christians." What a disgusting charge you place aupon me. That is hate speech, and will get you what you sow. Your words, "heavily concentrated" implies more than a little responcibility. BTW, my mother was Jewish, as was her mother and her mother before her. But I in no way make the claim that I am jewish. And my mother hates Israel, where as I admire and respect it. Claiming you know what is in my heart, calling Nazies Christyian, is more than a little presumtious of you.Reply ·

Just because there are lots of Jews working in the media or in the film industry does not mean they are working on behalf of Jews or Israel. As a matter of fact more often than not they are bending over backwards to prove they are not. Furthermore one should not publicly say whatever comes to mind, humans were given brains to make judgements. I will bet this article will be re-printed in neo-Nazi websites as well as radical Islamic anti-Semitic organs. Good work The Times of Israel.
Kelly Jackson · Top Commenter · Tidewater Community College
Probably and these are all good points...and what out there is really in Israel's best interest or the best bet to counter anti antisemitism? I mean what you are saying is right on. Most of the successful people the article refers to are not a good example of supporting Israel or the plight of the Jews.
Robert Soran von Grosswardein · Top Commenter
I was successful, and I worked in many places all over the world and in many companies on the higher and highest floors. My experience? We, the people with the same "faith" have always rapidly "find" each other and we almost always have supported and promoted each other much more than other people we weren't as close to. To find the right, good jobs also used to be somewhat "easier". And I know many Jewish children, my own, those of friends, neighbors, in the communities, and I saw them grow and some day leave the parental home. Mostly with a bunch of Jewish contacts we knew or somebody we knew knew :-) Which made it much easier for the kids to accommodate to the world outside, given the strong support they got and get from people they didn't know at all. My non-Jewish friends with kids aren't usually AS fortunate as we do. Of course we try to help them, too, and this is what the author calls responsibility we took upon ourselves: for others, for the society.

I think you should think hard about your word "responsibility". If you would have given it some thought before publishing it, maybe you would have realized just how irresponsible the article is.

I agree with Zahava Englard in her caution to choose your words wisely. "Control" is a) not accurate and b) an inflammatory word within this context. Jews are very special people. And so are the Chinese. And the Ghanaians and everybody else. Every culture and ethnic group has gifts to bring to the table. The Jewish gift - success - is indeed one that sticks in the craw of the rest of the world.

As a former journalist for a Jewish newspaper, I will bet one of my children on the complete 100% unspoken truth that is the first paragraph of this article. "We love to brag about every Jewish actor. Sometimes we even pretend an actor is Jewish just because we like him enough that we think he deserves to be on our team. We brag about Jewish authors, Jewish politicians, Jewish directors. Every time someone mentions any movie or book or piece of art, we inevitably say something like, “Did you know that he was Jewish?” That’s just how we roll."

The Jews have been incredibly successful, but they've also committed some colossal blunders. And that should be equally featured in this puff piece. Example? How about the neocons in the US, whom we also know to be controlled by Jews? They were previously ignored until a dunce called George W. Bush finally gave them a hearing. As a result of their warlike stupidity, the U.S. invaded Iraq and wasted billions. This may actually be the straw that broke the camel's back of American world dominance. Yes, it helped Israel, but this group of American Jews may have killed the goose who laid the golden eggs. By focusing on war in the Middle East, they've helped China and their singular focus on protecting Israel may have destroyed the one country which has given Jews such incredible opportunities to succeed. I doubt seriously China will give you guys the same deference.

I see Elad has written "I specifically chose to publish this in the Times of Israel because I wanted to make sure it would be in an arena where people wouldn't misuse it or misunderstand it."
Do you know how the internet and social networks work? I came across this article when an apparently anti-semitic person posted it with the obvious subtext of feeling vindicated. Many non-Jews like me with an interest in the situation of the Palestinians read the Israeli media and this was bound to eventually fall into the lap of some people it would have been better not to. As an anti-racist, I think it's such a bad idea for the issues you've written about to be dealt with in this provocative style.
Sam Playle · Queen Mary, University of London
I'm not "shoah-wipped", in fact I spend more of my time than most complaining about Israel's treatment of Palestinians. I've also learned a lot about racism including antisemitism and how they arise and propagate, and whatever this article hopes to achieve, I think it's doing it dangerously. It's a fact that for a millennium, antisemitic tropes, such as forcing Jews to be money-lenders then complaining that Jews lend money, were used to justify mass murder. Just because the author thinks the topics he covered are "issues" does not mean I agree.

The truth is that jews do not mix well with whites. It may seem so for a while, but when it comes down to it, whitse need jews as much as a wolf needs ticks. It's the Apollonian host VS the Mercurian middle men, dealers and whelers. Two different temperaments. Over the course of history, since babylonian times the jews have fostered a culture of separatism in all their dealings with host cultures. It is at the absolute core of jewish identity to be seperate and "special". Chosen. Now that they have their first charicature of a country, they have built for themselves a ghetto, and walled off the outside world. Anyway, it is IMPERATIVE that white people all over the world wake up from their etno masochism and realise that a world run by jews will be a hellscape. Jews can not build and maintain on their own. They can only deconstruct and tear down, pervert and atomise the individual.
A world run by jews will be a multi cultural favela hell, with hevily gated communities or regions here and there, where the rich plot and scheeme using state of the art control mechanisms. The multi cultural evangelium spouted so frequently by the diaspora jews will spell doom for the western world. Mark my words on that.Reply ·

Charles Keating, you must admit some of the terrorist activities by individual Palestinians against random targets within Israel and outside of Israel have been rather gruesome. And these activities no doubt affected many Jews. Add this to the adoration shown the suicide bombers. Now I know full well that there have been atrocities committed by Jews against Palestinians. I also know that the day to day hatrid expressed towards the Palestinians in general also must affect them. I do wish all would see themselves in the other. But this is poetic hope. These people (both sides) are reacting according to the laws of human nature. There are some, on both sides, who have risen above the hate. They are the ones I love. The parrots of hatred hold no special place in my heart. I hope there is a God who feels the same way.Reply ·

Many non-antisemite non-Jews know that there are proportionally many Jews in the media (or having received a Nobel Prize) and think AIPAC goes way too far sometimes (and actually get the opposite result than to reinforce the Jews by being too extreme), and are trying to find an explanation to this. But it's nice to see someone recognizing all this without false modesty, and trying to propose an analysis. Judaism is so full of elevating values and constraints that of course in the end, the individual is comparatively more educated, structured, and takes life and success more seriously than others maybe. Not even mentioning the history of persecution, pogroms and the Shoah. The last part on the fact that something new is ahead, where bragging is not the desired outcome but instead really making this world a better place by showing the good example (and the books teach how to do that) is the best one, and could have been further developed and put into more light. It is the way to go for Jews, for Israel and for Judaism in general.

Emma, Bibi N made a speech to the Americans this year that said Israel must be supported by all of us at all costs because in every generation Gentiles spring up who want to kill the Jews and so Israel is needed as a safe haven. Bibi did not exclude Americans. It seems Jewish Zionists believe that there's a malignant jew-hating gene in Gentiles that can come out at any time against Jews, now and forever. This jew-hating gene in Gentiles, under this justification for Israeli policy right or wrong, assumes that any hatred of Jews always comes from the anti-semitic gene creed, and never the jewish deed(s). Funny, I also thought that the creed is in the deed....Reply ·

And there are some Jews who believe that anti-Jewish sentiment is punishment for not actively healing the world. And there are some Jews who deeply believe that the world is divided between Jews and anti-semites.Reply ·

yeah, sure, try and influence the NSA, and the State Dept.. Tom Cruise and mel gibson, as 2 examples, wield more influence than most studio exec's. Most news units aren't run by jews, and certainly middle-management isn't.Microsoft and Apple, GM, BOA, etc? Ben Bernanke, for better or worse, Alan greenspan, one good, one not so; as for the Having Paula Abdul on American Idol, or wherever she is, doesn't make her in control. AIPAC has influence thru superior ideas, as do many other Jews, not because they wield any kind of svengali-Machiavellian influence over the minds and souls of Congress. jewish logic and Ideas? check university presidents' list and trustees. How many jews? Yep, I agree with Jen, a few , 2-3 kernels of truth, much as the percentage of Jews in the US....but oh those Nobel Prizes! Influence? maybe. Control...nah, we're just so good at what we do when we have a chance. Seinfel is Jewish, but Laurel and Hardy had more influence on Comedy. Marx bros? Influence yes...control? Lucille Ball had more control. The NSA has a no Jews room, and the FBI and CIA are very choosy about their jewish quota.

Also now CAIR has great influence and the fact that Islamists have infiltrated American society and they have money and violence to change our society. But by comparison, wouldn't you say that these views or misconceptions of control border on paranoia? Sin is really what controls these things. I was thinking about it because supposedly Jewish writings themselves boast of the Jewish race being superior and controlling great events in history and that is behind antisemitic writings condemning all Jews and creating an environment of mistrust and even persecution.Reply ·

Never intentional, conspiratorial, control. Influence, sometimes. Not all Muslims are carbon copies of terrorists either. I perceive your stance would be that they are.Reply ·

Influence is what counts, not the control. Grey eminences always choose, whenever possible, to hide in the background (see Obama's team). NSA controls (communications), but has no influence ... State Department? Just remember who were the most powerful advisors and 2nd line politicians in DOJ, SD, WH. Many, really many of Microsoft's best executives, managers and researchers were and are Jewish, the same was true for IBM's Watson research center and its executive level. Etc., etc. AIPAC has no ideas, nothing of relevance for the internal US society, but they have influence, power and ... much, much money politicians need for their election campaigns. Which politician who isn't a multi-millionaire can afford to say no to AIPAC and risk to loose millions in campaign contributions? Maybe CIA doesn't need so many Jewish employees because it can rely on Mossad? :-)

This is ridiculously stupid. Simple stating that there is some innate "spark" that causes Jews to be different is baseless and unscientific. There is no attempt to offer any reasonable explanation for this thesis. This is because it is ridiculous!
Yehudah HaLevi might believe some of this nonsense, but any rational person whether Jewish or not, whether religious or not, whether Orthodox or not should not take this seriously.

Yes, and "a spark," combined with a bunch more, can either light a much needed campfire, or ignite a forest fire. The absurdly crude conceit of the article is that the spark is always motivated by altruism, and even that is problematic since "good intentions often go astray."Reply ·

Why is it Anti-Semitic when a non-Jew knows and says that they know that Jews control the media? BTW, Jews aren't the only Semitic people in the world. You haven't cornered the market in Semitic languages.

Let me tell you something about most Jewish people alive today. Most of them did not go through the Holocaust. Most of them did not escape from ancient Egypt. Most of them are not under any kind of threat whatsoever. Those are facts. Build on them.

The paranoia looks thus: White people are inehrently evil. They must be dumbed down and controlled by means of cultural and ethnical "divide and conquer", or else they will stirr again and start shoveling our dear jewish community into gas chambers. Israel would NUKE EUROPE before they let that happen again.

Yeah, the Israelis call it the Samson Option--take down all the goys if they dare to try to make Israel accountable like any state since the Nuremberg Trials and the Geneva progeny. Reminds me of James Cagney in White Heat: "Top of the world, ma!"Reply ·

True, but it is everyone's responsibility to elevate the spirituality of the world but no one is doing that these days...It is always egocentrically motivated, "what can I do for me and my family" Why are Jews G-d's chosen people? It is not because they have anything more than any one else. It is because they are willing to be friends of G-d. They are also willing to follow His commandments. Not every Jew is doing that today. Anyway, few if any people want to do what is right today...It is all driven by greed and other things to get what you can.

Nobody, not even Jews can be "friends" (???) og G_d. BTW, both true Christians and Muslims also follow G_d's commandments, the same TEN.Reply ·

Kelly Jackson · Top Commenter · Tidewater Community College
Yeah, Christians say Ten, but Jews say 613, why???And on the contrary, Abraham was called a friend of God, if you read Genesis...So, what does that mean? Why was he called, "the friend of God" Muslims do not follow the ten commandments...they do not follow the Bible, they follow the Koran...The Koran doesn't contain the ten commandments...They do not follow: Thou shalt not kill, though shalt not bear false witness, thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself...I think you just lost validity in your whole point of view....
Kelly Jackson · Top Commenter · Tidewater Community College
You do know that Christians and Jews do not interpret the commandments the same way or follow them the same way? For instance, Christians do not keep the Sabbath. The commandments mention not speaking G-d's name lightly and without meaning. Gentiles do not understand that concept, even Christians. Jews don't ordinarily speak G-d's name lighly...saying J...for other name for G-d. Muslims do not even obey, observe, or attempt to obey the 10 commandments or are they in the Koran which they follow. For instance, the Koran commands Muslims to convert, subvert, or kill non Muslims and to lie and deceive in order to accomplish this agenda so they do not follow the commandment not to bear false witness to their neighbor, the commandment not to murder, etc...Reply ·

Unfortunately its the wrong Jews that have way too much influence. And its a complete fallacy that AIPAC and the Jewish lobby control Washington. The Saudi lobby is FAR more powerful.

I wish someone would control Washington. It is quite out of control.Reply ·

Jono Rose, you are a liar. No US politician ever praises Saudi Arabia as a place with values like America. Everything Saudi Arabia gets from the US is paid for by SA. This is distinctly in contrast to the #1 beneficiary of US foreign aid, which is Israel--it gets US aid, the biggest chunk of it by far, with NO Strings Attached.Reply ·

IUSA the KRST was born on the 25th December, the Winter Solstice, of a Virgin called IsisMery. He taught in the temple at age 12 and was baptised at age 30 by Anup the Baptiser who was beheaded. He healed the sick and raised the dead and he was crucified, died and was buried in a rock tomb. The word KRST meant "the anointed" in ancient Egypt and so did the word messiah.
There are about seven hundred Samaritans still surviving in Palestine (or occupied territory) and scholars now agree with their claim to the Torah. It was their inspiration.
The story about Abraham was taken from the mythology of the Syrians. It was never anything to do with any Hebrews.
The story about Noah was taken whole and word for word from the mythology of the ancient Sumerians. It was Ut-Nishpatim to whom God whispered through the walls of his reed house telling to build an ark urgently.
There is NO evidence of Hebrew presence in Jerusalem - ask Israel Finkelstein.
There was no "exodus", no Moses, no Temple (except for a DESCRIPTION of an EGYPTIAN temple to be found in the Old Testament) and IF there was a David he was no king but merely the leader of a very small group or band or tiny tribe.
Really, the poor brainwashed Jews need to get over it before they destroy the World.
Kelly Jackson · Top Commenter · Tidewater Community College
Christ is a Greek not Egyptian Word Moshiac is a Hebrew word. No, this is a total load of ____. If you disregard the New Testament, there is no story of Y'shua. True that the word Christ or Moshiac means anointed. What does anointed mean? Anointed meant servant of G-d, Prophet, Priest, or King. Y'shua was never called the Christ until later, after his death. His followers were Hebrew when he was alive. Luke was a gentile but wasn't with him when he was alive so that point is moot. I buy that you say that the story of Avram was taken from the mythology of the Syrians but don't think your sources are good ones and are not even listed in your post. The point of view that the story of Avram has nothing to do with Hebrews is neither here nor there because the 12 tribes of Israel came from this root but not until after Jacob (Israel) ...See MoreReply ·

From an outside point of view...the perception is that the Jewish people prefer to only hire within the "family". I would assume it would be difficult to get into the movie/entertainment or media business if you are other than Jewish. Hence, being Jewish would open many doors for those wanting such occupations. I do understand though. After years upon years of persecution, I would want to "circle the wagons" and want to insure success of the family. Unfortunately, as human beings we must all aspire to overcome such insecurities and do what is right for everyone. Success is something to be proud of, but we must all re-evaluate our definitions of success often to ensure we are honoring the Holy Commandments and the Golden Rule...Who ever has the gold makes the rules...Ooops! Not that one....Always treat others the way we would like to be treated.
Charles Keating · U of Toledo College of Law
You are right, Michael Black. Between the real and the ideal falls the shadow; in this case, if Gentiles had the solidarity Jews have in terms of helping their own, regardless of meritocracy, why, they'd be called anti-semites who discriminate against Jews. Time to stop the double standard.Reply ·

The author writes we come to America after the death camps , well millions of Jews lived in America and were citizens long before the European catastrophe .We served in the military and gave our lives and health for America and we have the right to petition our government just as the NAACP, NRA , AARP or any of the other lobbying groups .That does not make us as the elders of Zion .If Mr.Nehoral thinks Jews have too much power he better remember when the rioting in Crown Heights was ongoing and the police stood by as Jews were attacked an the mayor of NY never gave orders to stop that atrocity. Some power .
Giles Goodman · Top Commenter
There's so many things wrong with this article, I wouldn't know where to start. But one glaring fault in its assertion that "Jews control the media" is that Hollywood movies are not "media". Media is defined as "the main means of mass communication". The majority of the world's new is not owned or controlled by Jews.
This article is alarmist, self-serving crap.

Giles, World news is just one way in which to communicate. One may say that Hollywood represents an even more powerful form of mass communication. Any sociologist will tell you that entertainment media has a very strong influence on peoples beliefs and perception. Thus I dont think saying jews control the media is a false or untrue statement.Reply ·
