I was amiss in not specifically pointing out 'the Jews' is obviously too broad a brush and the article cited in #5 and archived version in #7 was guilty of that over generalization. Sorry for that oversight.
Nevertheless, imo the movers and shakers of Jewry who exert real power in national and international affairs have almost always been of the bent cited over and over in the article. The moderates who just want to get on with life like anybody else have unfortunately never wielded the real power. Maybe refresh your memories re links supplied in #4 too. No run-of-the-mill 'fringe' Jew(s) responsible for commissioning that in-your-face stark symbolism.
A similar 'message' is sculptured out front of the 'Unfinished Tower of Babel' EU Parliament building in Strasbourg Belgium. But I digress.
I will just add a direct free download link to a highly recommended book. Setting out an imo excellent purview tracing the tangled history of the mosaic that has evolved to become modern Jewry:

Again - feel free to simply ignore. As I'm sure most will.
Having vented spleen and said my piece, intend leaving it at that. Anyone is free to judge how bad things are based on my input here and iirc at least one other prior thread.
Cheers. Even if there's hardly anything to be cheerful about.
