Jewish political and economic power in the United States

Steve Sailer:
I haven't had anything to say previously about that fatal Israeli naval encounter with the Gaza-bound flotilla on May 31, 2010 … because I don't much care. Israel is not the 51st state; it’s one of a couple of hundred other countries. If Israel wants to push around the Palestinians, well, that’s their business much more than it is my business.

Unfortunately, since Jews demand that the United States support every action Israel takes, no matter how stupid and destructive, it is also our business. By giving our endorsement to Israel's violent actions against the Palestinians we end up antagonizing the Jihadists who would normally go after the Israelis and who end up coming after us instead. Let us also not forget that the Israelis have used these violent tactics against Americans as well as Muslims:
It shouldn’t have appeared unprecedented: the most obvious predecessor to Israel’s raid on the flotilla was its 1967 attack in roughly the same international waters on the USS Liberty, when the Israeli military killed 34 American seamen. Blockheadedness is the most innocent explanation that has yet been offered for Israel’s two-hour long air and sea assault on the clearly-marked American intelligence-gathering ship.

Personally, I care more about the Liberty than this Turkish-organized flotilla.

Of course, how many other Americans remember the Liberty? This event is certainly not frequently commemorated in our domestic media.

No prizes for guessing why the "American" media isn't interested in the USS Liberty. And Jewish economic power isn't just limited to the media:
If, say, as reported by the Jewish Telegraph Agency, Jews make up over 1/3rd of the 2009 Forbes 400, and if Jews make up half of the 2009 Atlantic 50 of most influential political pundits, then that implies that Jews, owing in part to their higher average cognitive functioning, should embrace greater responsibility.

Instead of viewing themselves as beleaguered victims, they should admit that they now comprise an elite within America---and that they should apply to themselves an updated version of the old cavalier concept of noblesse oblige.

The problem is that Jews will always put the interests of Israel first. What this means is that the United States now has an elite that will treat the gentile majority as cannon fodder in order to protect their co-ethnics in Israel.
