We Jews are a funny breed. We love to brag about every Jewish actor. Sometimes we evenpretend an actor is Jewish just because we like him enough that we think he deserves to beon 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, “Didyou 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 itsucceeds 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 dowhat we can to put them out of work. We publish articles. We’ve createdentireorganizationsthat exist just to tell everyone that the Jews don’t control nothin’. No, we don’tcontrol the media, we don’t have any more sway in DC than anyone else. No, no, no, weswear: 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 somany dudes up in the executive offices in all the big movie production companies it’s almostobscene. Just about every movie or TV show, whether it be “Tropic Thunder” or “Curb YourEnthusiasm,” is rife with actors, directors, and writers who are Jewish. Did you know that alleight 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 anorganization that’s practically the equivalent of the Elders of Zion. I’ll never forget when Iwas involved in Israeli advocacy in college and being at one of the many AIPACconventions. A man literally stood in front of us and told us that their whole goal was to onlywork with top-50 school graduate students because they would eventually be the peoplemaking changes in the government. Here I am, an idealistic little kid that goes to a bottom50 school (ASU) who wants to do some grassroots advocacy, and these guys are literallytalking about infiltrating the government. Intense.Now, I know what everyone will say. That

everyone

tries to lobby. Every minority group andevery majority group. That every group has some successful actors and directors. But that’sa far call from saying that we

run

Hollywood and Madison Avenue. That the Mel Gibsons ofthe world are right in saying we’re deliberately using our power to take over the world. Thatwe’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 outthere. But come on. We’re the ones who are bragging about this stuff all the time. Can’t weadmit 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 somany of them have accomplished so much, they hate to admit that it has to do with they’rebeing 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 oneof them that helps them to accomplish amazing things?The ADL chairman, Abe Foxman,was interviewed in a great articleabout the subject andhe said that he “would prefer people say that many executives in the industry ‘happen to beJewish.’” 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 ofus that makes us completely different from every group in the world. We’re talking about agroup of people that just got put in death camps, endured pogroms, their whole familiesdecimated. And then they came to America, the one place that ever really let them have asmuch power as they wanted, and suddenly they’re taking over. Please don’t tell me that anyother 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.
