There is a huge difference between a certain group being represented and “running” something, which clearly implies some sort of unified agenda that they share by virtue of being Jews. It’s naive to pretend that’s not exactly what’s meant when people “muse” that the Jews are running anything. ---

Huh. I didn’t realize that around a dozen and a half people (some of whom are dead) made every decision in Hollywood. ---

> [@septimus](#): > > This is not clearly anti-Semitic. It seems more like musing. Or is musing disallowed? This seems like a huge non sequitur. Musing and racist aren’t mutually exclusive. I mean I guess “I wonder if [ethnic group] [fulfills stereotype] because [reason]” is better than “[ethnic group] [fulfills stereotype] because [reason],” but not by a whole lot. ---

[QUOTE=foolsguinea] it sometimes feels like certain Zionist interests are running things for some particular interest of theirs, _ **even when it’s really Anglo-Saxon imperialists and their Gulf State friends** _. [/QUOTE] You’re all so busy tossing cuss words at an alleged anti-Semite, you might want to confer and get your stories straight. If the charge is that he “thinks Jews are running the media” it will come as news to him. > [@Mithras](#): > > Huh. I didn’t realize that around a dozen and a half people (some of whom are dead) made every decision in Hollywood. What a stupid remark. The percent of Jewish ownership in Hollywood seems higher than due to chance. Do you dispute that? “a dozen and a half” – should I have kept clicking just for you? (And, again, I drew no inference. Baptists are probably dominate in some industry; Buddhists dominate California bakery shops; so what?) And “made every decision”. 😕 Wow! So comic-book level thinking is your forte. What a dolt! And give me a break, assholes. _I clicked names I was familiar with._ Last I heard, Eisner, Redstone, etc. were not dead. ---

Right. But what does any of that have to do with “running Hollywood”? Do really think people use that phrase benignly? Don’t be so naive. ---

It’s naive to pretend that’s not exactly what’s meant when people “muse” that the Jews are running anything. Exactly. “Jewish people are predominately in leadership positions in the entertainment industry” is a different concept than “the Jews run the entertainment industry.” I note that most of the people in Congress, Senate, and Presidency are Christian. Does this mean “The Christians run the US?” ---

Does this mean “The Christians run the US?” This is a terrible analogy because the Christians do run the US. I do notice that a large majority of the NBA and the NFL are black. This means that black people run professional sports in America. There’s a cabal, only we call it a “posse”. The secret handshake is so elaborate, there’s a 12 week course. It’s called Slap Me Five, Flip Wilson. ---

The point is, your small list doesn’t begin to demonstrate the domination you claimed. Has their been a higher percentage of Jews in the entertainment industry than in the population at large? Probably. Is that percent anywhere close to what domination would imply? I doubt it and you’ve provided nothing that would make any rational person think otherwise. ---

Holy crap, I just had a terrifying epiphany! Never, ever buy your children those candies in the cartoon character dispenser. If you have them, burn them now. They tell us the name derives from the German word for peppermint, but that is just a sly diversion.
