221 The Times of Israel: Jews Do controle the Media

This blog:  http://tiny.cc/66gthw

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?

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)
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.

    I loved the article. An honest Jewish man telling the whole truth.
    cheers,

      Hey Baba; Great article.............

    • hrpb17 (signed in using yahoo)
      Yes. Telling the truth. A rare thing indeed from a Jewish man (or woman).

    • Peter Attwood ·  Top Commenter · Chino, California
      A rare thing indeed from any man or woman. In this Jews are like other people.

  • Roy Doliner ·  Top Commenter · Rome, Italy
    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.

    • Bentzy Plotkin
      Did you actually read the article?

      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. 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?"

      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...

    • Dana Mason · Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
      This article is truly scary. I have to agree with Roy's comments and agree that this arrogant and bizarre diatribe has absolutely nothing to do with spirituality. It is unsavory chutzpah at best.

    • Kzar Foster
      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.

      The anti-Torah ones in the movie studios who perpetuate the ugliest of Jewish caricatures, such as Woody Allen and the Cohen brothers do?

      Woody Allen married his daughter. He is an example of what I am saying about these Burbank mind controllers.

    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?

  • Sarah Tuttle-Singer ·  Top Commenter · 103 subscribers
    "With great power comes great responsibility, etc etc etc ad nauseum." I really enjoyed this piece -- although, I think the recent articles in the NY Times -- not to mention the articles written by our homies at BBC/CNN -- may indicate otherwise. (Maybe it's time to launch "OPERATION: Take back the media!"

    Anyway, I will say this: Whenever I feel like our people are being particularly oppressed -- i.e., whenever Ahmadinejad makes a speech -- I crack open the Protocols and I start to feel a little better. (I kid, I kid.) Now,Marc Goldberg where are my batteries?

    • Kelly Jackson ·  Top Commenter · Tidewater Community College
      I forgot to mention that Jews are heavily concentrated in the internet porn industry...

      • George Dawson ·  Top Commenter · Lindenwood University
        I have noticed that some people in the porn industry who have some Jewish blood relatives like to say they are Jews. But I am not wholly convinced that porn is a Jewish enterprise. I would love to know how you arrived at your conclusion.

      • Kelly Jackson ·  Top Commenter · Tidewater Community College
        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.

    • Izzy Lemberg
      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.

      • Izzy Lemberg
        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 just hope that Israel's enemies don't appropriate it into their arsenal. You gave them a libelous freebie. Now that's "responsibility".

    • Julie Gray ·  Top Commenter · Tel Aviv, Israel
      Interesting article. As another commenter said, however, I was halfway through the article when something began to feel out of whack in your sentiments. Of course, I respect your unique opinion and humbly submit my own:

      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.

      But something about the tone of your article sounds as if you are saying the Jews are *superior* to others and that sticks in MY craw. There are many, complex cultural and historical reasons that Jews are as successf...See More

      • George Dawson ·  Top Commenter · Lindenwood University
        Thank you for your well thought out reply Julie Gray. I concur on every point you made, except that 'every group brings something of value to the table.' I am not confident that is true.

      • Robert Soran von Grosswardein ·  Top Commenter
        I respectfully disagree, please see my comment above. BTW we consider us the ONE very special people in the world. "We" know us, Jews and only the "Others", Gentiles ... :-(
        Which was part of the motivation to be at the forefront of all global human rights movements, except the one for the rights of Palestinians.

      • George Dawson ·  Top Commenter · Lindenwood University
        There are Jews who stand up for the rights of Palestinians. It is just that they are hated by the more Zionist Jews.

      Something was stuck in my throat this morning and I think it just cleared. It's called inauthenticity, and it's what happens when I'm too afraid to say (write) what I think for fear I might be misinterpreted or misunderstood. Elad Nehorai apparently doesn't suffer from that affliction (at least not today). And therefore hit the publish button on this post, which rocks and rolls, and is sure to attract venom. Agree with it or disagree with it as you choose -- but admit there are at least 2-3 kernels of truth in it...if not more. I can't wait to follow the comments!

      • Raffe Gold · Jerusalem, Israel
        I think the point of this article was to say that the anti-Semitic Elmo in Central Park was telling the truth! :P http://youtu.be/dx77buBzXVs

        I don't think there's any kernel of truth to it. It's his opinion and I get where he's coming from...but I think he is off the mark.

      • Jen Maidenberg ·  Top Commenter
        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."

      While I agree with the points made by both Zahava Englard and Heddy Abramowitz, I LOVE this part, Elad, and want to know when you're coming to live in Israel, where you can maximize your potential:

      "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.'

      • Charles Keating · U of Toledo College of Law
        How special, to be known for the good the group does, but not the bad. That's not being accountable at all. Only G-d gets to do that, not a collective viewing themselves as such.

      • רותי איסטמן ·  Top Commenter · Works at Raising crops of boys.
        Not sure I entirely understood your comment, Charles. ( That's the downside of typing rather than talking: no vocal intonation or facial expression.) I interpreted what Elad wrote not as a one-sided statement of the incontrovertible goodness of the Jewish people. A little stroll through Biblical history, non-Biblical history, or current events puts the lie to that notion. I heard in this piece a challenge. As I have always told my sons, there is no pareve encounter with another human being. You can either do a chilul Hashem or a kiddush Hashem.
