After the outbreak of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, Jews began to attract attention again, from victims during World War II to "perpetrators" today, and some online statements pointed out that 3% of Jews own more than 70% of wealth, and control the United States and even the world in disguise. There are many similar news, so is it true or false, and what evidence can be "confirmed"?First of all, the Jews were indeed good at business, and they had a lot of achievements in the field of economics, and even in many fields of scientific research. Albert Einstein was of Jewish descent, Marx was of Jewish descent, and some of the most well-known top rich people were of Jewish descent.
Jews in America First: The Jewish Population Problem!According to the results of the 2020 census in the United States, Jews are not "listed" separately, and one can be deduced from this: there may not be many Jews in the United States, so there is no need to list them separately. Of course, there are some non-governmental organizations that have conducted statistics, but their relative "credibility" is poor. For example, the Cohen Center for Modern Jewish Studies in the United States reported a total of 7.6 million Jews in the United States, and these people are not pure Jews, and 4.9 million of them are judged to be Jews for "religious" reasons. The total population of the United States is more than 300 million, and 3% is more than 9 million, so the data does not match.
American Jews second: There are also some discrepancies about the "wealth" of Jews, according to the Forbes list, the total number of people entering the list in 2022 is 2,668, of which 267 are Jews, and the total assets of these 267 people are 1With 7 trillion US dollars, Jews do have a high proportion of the Forbes list to a certain extent, but their wealth is not so exaggerated, reaching 70%. Of course, there's an easy factor to overlook: some of the wealth may be actually held by Jews, but overtly by others. Even if other factors are taken into account, Jewish wealth does not reach the United States, or the world.
To sum up, Jews do have a good "influence", but they are not enough to control the United States, and of course they still have the ability to influence some politicians and some parties. For example, six of the 16 chairmen of the Federal Reserve in the United States are Jews, and to a certain extent, they have been able to influence "major decisions", thus influencing the White House, the Pentagon and other institutions. Personally, I think that the Jewish community does not necessarily have a "supportive" attitude towards Israel, but there must be some tilt in matters involving Jews. Human beings are emotional creatures, and it is impossible to remain "absolutely impartial" in the face of their own race.
The spread of anti-Semitic sentiment is a very simple example: why was Israel able to easily obtain a large amount of American fire after the establishment of the state, so as to achieve its goal of hegemony in the Middle East?In many wars in the Middle East, the United States has deliberately covered for Israel and helped Israel strive for more "interests", and these problems can confirm that Jewish groups have a certain influence on the United States. In the current Palestinian-Israeli conflict, the United States' bottomless support for Israel is also a good proof.
