Finkelstein is boxer who keeps throwing and landing the same obvious punch over and over again with precision.. no matter if the opponent tries to tie him up, foul him, look to the ref for assistance, glance at his corner for instructions, boom! boom! boom!, it keeps landing on the button till the rival's knees buckle and his down on the canvas getting counted out.

There's a misconception about Jews, especially from Poland and Russia, being wealthy and powerful. The Eastern European Jews immigrated (in large numbers) during the turn of the 19th century to the US after experiencing numerous massacres and pogroms at the hands of Christian peasants during the regin of the last Czar, when Russia crossed over and occupied the Eastern part of Poland, known as "the Pale", where Jews were forbidden to go "beyond the Pale" and wander off in Christian territory. The next large wave of Jews left Germany, Eastern Europe and Russia after the second war.

In the states, Jews lived in the crowded urnban setting of NYC's Lower East Side, and took jobs in factories, enjoying a working class status. It was in the "schmarta" or garment industry in which Jews thrived and their success enabled them to send their chidlren to the best schools to be educated in the high paying and respectable fields of law, medicine and science. Within one generation, these Jewish families were able to get from a working class to a middle class stantding. Compared to other immigrants, Jews are the most successful and influencial, very few are extremly wealthy and powerful as opposed to the "old-money" WASP, who possess great wealth and weild immense power.

It's a shame that many in the Black community either forgot or don't know about the courageous battles Jews fought adcvocating on behalf of the discriminated minorities, specifically Black people, during the Civil Rights struggle and after. Young, idealist, Jewish activists even had their lives sacrificed while fighting against black racsim, as in the murder of Micky Schwerner and Andrew Goodman in Mississppi in 1964. The late attorney, Bill Kunstler, devoted his practice in defending young black men caught up in what he perceived to be a rigged justice system.

As far as Hollywood and parts of the media are concerned, I think Jews have historically -- from the vaudville era to now -- have been involved in the entertainment industry, from the talent/artistic dimension to the that of business.
