Thank you to @daveyseligman for beautifully synthesizing the way I and many other progressive Jews feel.
The antisemitic murder of two young people at the Capital Jewish museum in Washington D.C. is devastating. May the memories of Sarah Milgrim and Yaron Lischinsky be a blessing. My heart hurts for them, their families, and everyone who is concerned about threats to their families.

That delusion of control — whether of finance, politics, or media — is a classic antisemitic move. When did you last think about who “controls” farming or automobiles or rail companies?.

During the Red Scare of the 1950s, Senator Joe McCarthy — and his Jewish/Jew-baiting, gay/queer-baiting henchman, Roy Cohn, who incidentally became a mentor to the young Donald Trump — singled out Jewish Hollywood as being a hotbed of communism.

So, in the California of the 1920s and 1930s, these first-generation immigrants from Eastern Europe built their own power structures, their own studios, even their own country clubs, when they were shut out of existing ones.

The elite theaters refused to employ Jews, so Jews came to dominate vaudeville — and, eventually, the nascent film industry, which, like vaudeville, was seen as too vulgar, too working-class, too low-brow for good Christians to be involved with.

The elite hospitals refused to hire Jewish doctors, so Jews started their own (often with Jewishly resonant names like Mount Sinai).

“This continued in the United States, but with more opportunity for entrepreneurship. The elite “white-shoe” law firms all banned Jews, so Jews started their own (often with a non-Jewish partner as the first name on the door). .

“The real story of why there are so many Jews in Hollywood is, itself, largely about America’s long history of racism and antisemitism. For centuries in Europe and America, Jews were shut out of most avenues to wealth…”.
