  1.  @LeeorVardi  What questions are there to ask? You agreed with almost everything I said, yet you act as if you're countering my points with "yeah buts" and excuses. Then you call me ignorant for no apparent reason. Isn't travelling abroad to get a wedding similar to having to travel out of state to get an abortion, one of the hottest issues in our nation at the moment? That's second-class citizenship treatment if I ever heard of it. "Regarding immigration, non-Jews can immigrate based on merit, such as working for an Israeli company or sports team or any such circumstance" So what you're saying is, Jews get special privileges to travel to Israel and everyone else has to jump through the same hoops that one would normally have to jump through to emigrate. Yep, second-class citizenship. It doesn't matter if someone claimed to be persecuted, the right is given to Jews with no questions asked. "I and probably a majority of secular Jews and non-Jews would like to see this changed, but the political power held by a few ultra orthodox parties over a long time and their participation and influence over the ruling government’s coalition of parties is preventing that from happening. " Again, you're agreeing with what I said. I am aware there are many liberal Jews in Israel. The problem is not orthodox Jewish beliefs, it is when those beliefs are not separated from either public policy or one's business and applied by those in power. Just like how women were only recently given the right to drive in Saudi Arabia thanks to their theocratic law practices. Or a Christian manager decides not to hire someone covered in tattoos because they're "not qualified." As for the issue of whether or not Jews control a significant portion of our media; I'm not sure what to tell you. Many people who have spent much more time in the industry than I will attest that Jews are significantly overrepresented in show business and the media. Yet we go in circles because their opinions are dismissed out-of-hand as "anti-semitic" for making that observation, and if I were to make the same assertion, you'd call me both anti-semitic and ignorant because I am an outsider to that industry. All I can do is trust the experts on this -- people who have spent years in that industry -- because, apparently, those particular Jews really don't want people to talk about whether they're overrepresented or not, despite the fact that blacks, Hispanic people, Asian people, etc. have no issues with talking about their level of representation in media or government.

  3.  @LeeorVardi  It isn't anti-semitic. Consider for example the case of any other minority. If black people controlled the media, they would be out and proud about it. They would be glad that they finally have some industry, some part of society, that is productive and that they can call the shots on. Furthermore it is not bigoted to perform basic statistical observation. Why the special treatment for Jews? Simple fact of the matter is that all Abrahamic religion, not just Judaism, is quite cancerous and tends to be a factor that people use to filter out "undesirable" people, i.e. people not in their group. But with Jews, it is in fact arguably worse because orthodox Jews follow a religion that is actually married to ethnicity; if your mother was not a Jew, you're not a "real" Jew. And before you call me a bigot, just talk to anyone who is actually from Israel. Or read their laws, which restrict marriage between Jews and non-Jews as well as non-Jewish immigration. Similar to radical Muslims throwing gay people off of rooftops, or both male and female circumcision, it's simply a barbaric practice that I can't abide and that no reasonable person should abide. Christians managed to adapt over hundreds of years, it's time for Jews and Muslims to do the same. Although I'd prefer if we managed to leave these all-in-one package deal religions by the wayside but it seems humanity simply doesn't want to let it go. I don't hate an individual. Hating individuals before judging their behavior is not productive. However the problem tends to be when a person of certain biases created by their group associations gets into power. It's been a problem with the Catholic church, Muslim theocrats, white supremacists, and so on. Why not Jews?
