While there are certainly people in positions of power, some of whom abuse their power and act criminally, who are Jewish there are also more people who are not Jewish doing just the same. One doesn't have to be Jewish to support a racist ideology like Zionism and many Jews, even Orthodox religious Jews totally reject political Zionism.
It is a very tricky area and not always easy for some one uneducated in the history to get a clear picture. There is often confusion between political and spiritual Zionism just for starters. Some critics of Zionism have some pretty weird ideas of their own and less than honorable agendas often hidden. Other racist groups such as Nazis and white supremacists are anti-Zionist but for all the wrong reasons. They are also anti-Semitic. Some of the web sites and publications talking about the Protocols and Jewish history and/or theology are a propaganda tool promoted by other religious groups usually Christian sects sometimes Muslim sects but often undeclared as such.
Jews have been criticized as keeping too much to their own kind, rejecting others on the one hand while on the other they are accused of infiltrating and wanting to take over the host nation. So it is a bit of a no win situation. That Jews have connections to Israel is undoubtedly true. Not because someone called god gave it to them but because they are there and for most there is no where for them to go back to. Romanian father and Iraqi mother child born in Israel. This has long been accepted as a fact of life by all Palestinian leaders. What has not been accepted by Israeli leaders is the rights of Palestinians to return home and there will be no peace until that injustice is made right. Palestinians in the diaspora worry about their relatives in Gaza and the West Bank and in Israel. Jews outside Israel worry about their relatives in Israel and the occupied territories.
Quaker families as well as other Protestant families have also had much to do with the banking industry. The Vatican bank is (or was) involved with arms manufacturing, money laundering and pharmaceutical companies that made contraceptive pills and hospitals that provided terminations. Given the number of dead bodies connected to them they seem to have had their Murder Inc.
People who identify as Jews or who are identified as Jews are just as happy to rip off and exploit other Jews as any one else. I know this from personal experience and observation and we just have to see what a trail of destruction Madoff has done to some (many) in the Jewish community to see it in action.
Bastards and criminals come in all religious flavors and none.
