With all the Russiaphobia, I find it curious that no one ever seems to care about Sergey Brin, the Russian Jew...co-founder of Google & president of Alphabet (Google’s parent). A Soviet-born guy who runs a company that dominates many aspects of American life, and no one cares???

Jesus' comment is spot on.

Most Jewish people are just as vulnerable as everyone else.

They do have a closer knit social society, which tends to look after each other a bit, but this also has it's repressive/controlling downsides as well. Speak against the group and you will probably suffer for it. Or, if someone bails you out of trouble then you're coerced into their debt service. We don't often see that side of the story.
Average people everywhere are getting used by the powerful.

Many Asian ethnic cultures in the US have structures similar to this.

However, the Jewish common folks in Israel get fucked over just like everyone else (as in US citizenry).
Well, definitely not like the Palestinians (they're treated like African Americans after reconstruction), but Israel doesn't consider them citizens.

They're in a situation more similar to the native Americans in the US. A minority of wealthy casino operaters, with the majority impoverished.
Most all of them have been pushed off of any decent lands.

We only see the powerful escape justice, cause the guys in trouble for tax evasion don't make the papers.
