Sorry, but it's really, really hard to read anything about US politics and not to think "wow, Jews really do have an enormous amount of power".

From the lobbies (e.g. AIPAC), to the actual members of the government and leading institutions, to the CEOs of the biggest companies and chiefs of financial institutions, to the media and newspapers, to Hollywood, etc...

Not saying they don't deserve it, but still, just to think how over-represented they are...

Most Jews are white people. There are more Jews in certain industries, but in general disproportinate representation is not as great if you compare to other white people in general. Not saying there still isn't some in some places, which I can't totally explain. (Also why are so many doctors from the Indian subcontinent right? Why are black women over-represented in home health care and latino men in kitchens? Anyway, this is now just an offensive stand-up routine) White people have a lot of power in the USA, wealthy white people have most of the power for sure.

On the issue of foreign policy towards Israel specifically, rather than sociological mysteries in general, I posted articles (from Palestinian and Arab scholars and activists sympathetic toward Palestinians!) making solid arguments for why this is not the explanation of US foreign policy towards the mid-east, and thinking it does is a distraction from what's really going on and how to change it (which I want to as well).
