Ultraorthodox Jews tend to stand apart from your typical Jewish bankers/[social] media owners/Hollywood execs in that they 1) don't have much institutional power and 2) they are opposed to Globohomo at least for their own communities. It's actually the half-Jewish liberal cosmopolitan who is most in favor of Globohomo because he's truly rootless in a way that the Ultraorthodox are not. For this reason I've often heard them say things that sound "based".

The caveat of course is that they will oppose antisemitism and donate to such causes because they are still very ethnocentric. Since most people opposing Globohomo are "antisemitic" to some degree according to their definitions, this has the inadvertent effect of contributing to the decline of their own communities.

yea at the end of the day anything remotely resembling what they subjectively consider "antisemitism" is at the top of the food chain in terms of priorities.

“As much power” is a fair reading - but it’s still worth noting to the casual reader of this post that:

  1. The author of the letter is an ultra-Orthodox Jew who is a literal billionaire. He made much of his fortune from running nursing homes with a long history of abuse. This is well documented via Google and he’s faced little consequences.
  2. A Pew survey found most ultra-Orthodox Jews (“Haredi”) make well above the average American’s income, often six figures. I’m having trouble finding this atm but believe it’s in here: https://www.pewforum.org/2013/10/01/jewish-american-beliefs-attitudes-culture-survey/

Ultra-Orthodox Jewish power for their size and archaic culture is obscenely large.

LOL, many orthodox Jews and hasidic rabbis control the US government and media. Might want to read the Talmud and their 8 genders.
