Are tney necessarily Israeli? The reason I ask is that, over the years, about half the people I have known either through social connections or business have been Jews (I live in New York City, have had a typical PMC career, have leftish prejudices and preferences, etc. etc., so this is not surprising.) I have to say they don't seem to be plotting anything. Now, of course, you could assert there is some higher level of Jews that ordinary Jews don't associate with, but I think I would have heard of it.

Whereas Capital, as I've defined it lately, would certainly try to organize talented, knowledgeable people to serve its interests, regardless of their ethnicity or religion. In fact, the peculiarities of Orthodox Jewish religious and cultural practices might tend to set them off from the background, to the detriment of their ability to blend in with other operatives and the general population.

Many people have been duped by media manipulation of what the term “leftist” means.

NYC is full of well spoken, highly educated upper class people who avidly support abortion and women’s rights….while also being staunchly behind a reactionary program of NYPD brutality against the underclass, mass incarceration, economic inequality at work, and colonial imperialist policies abroad- including Zionism.

They are NOT leftists!
