  • NPR can't stop talking about Jews
  • The controversy over the Oscars joke that Jews run Hollywood
    • The Jewish Community has a lot at stake here. If people freely talk about the Jewish influence in Hollywood, then they will talk about how much of the media, government, and banking that is also influenced by Jews. Then of course, this passes to the existence or not of the Jewish Lobby, as a dominant part of the Israeli Lobby, and heavens, where will all this lead? Personally, I'm astonished at what Jews have accomplished: they have succeeded with tremendous degrees of influence and behavior in Western society, yet have made themselves invisible. And trivially, of course, we're not talking about all Jews, but rather, emergent properties, considering a whole bunch of people.

  • CBS pulls down billboards calling for end to US aid to Israel
    • I think most Jews support Israel, at least in a passive way. Many Jews will say that they don't really feel connected to Israel, and that's in a way true, but when push comes to shove, their allegiance to the Tribe will dominate their actions, when for instance, they see Israel damaged or threatened. Proof of this it the power of the Jewish Lobby, which would not be possible if the bulk of the US Jewish community did not, in a fundamental sense, support Israel. The Jewish Lobby is massive, extending from AIPAC down to local Jewish community groups, who, in the end will support the Jewish state, especially when pressured by the more aggressive Israel supporters. Thus, the billboard may have looked to Redstone as an undue threat to Israel - something that he, personally, could stop - and he may have been influenced by other Jews, who are more actively supportive of Israel. I'm not saying you're wrong, but I can't say that you're right, either.

    • You hit the nail on the head, PTJ. Check out link to en.wikipedia.org
