I gave a sermon on this topic, made famous most recently by the remarks of my dear friend the Malaysian Prime Minister. Of course the condemnations came quickly. The funny thing is that he was right.
I came to the conclusion years ago that Jews do in fact play a large role in ruling the world. But the explanation is not something that requires vast theories about conspiracies, Freemasons and cloaked elders who meet once a year in an underground cavern. It's quite simple, actually.
Abraham and his heirs have always devoted their lives to the pursuit of Charity and Justice. (Genesis 19) Charity and Justice, to be implemented on a vast scale, require one to care about issues like finance and politics.
Those who care, and think of ideas on how to implement what they care about, will end up playing a role in running communities and non-governmental organizations.
Ben Franklin cared. So he became instrumental in how events in the 18th century played out.
Jews have traditionally cared in greater numbers than their proportion to the world's population, so they have played a larger role.
Now just because we care does not mean that we all agree. The cliche of "two Jews, three opinions" applies. What this means is that whichever side is running the show in any given government or non-profit , Jews are there at the top. So it is the Jews who are at the forefront of encouraging the war in Iraq and it is Jews who are at the forefront of opposing the war. (I'm convinced that Jews would have supported Nazi fascism had Hitler not had this thing about the Jews that precluded their involvement.)
Think about that...
