How Jewish is Hollywood?

I have never been so upset by a poll in my life. Only 22% of Americans now believe “the movie and television industries are pretty much run by Jews,” down from nearly 50% in 1964. The Anti-Defamation League, which released the poll results last month, sees in these numbers a victory against stereotyping. Actually, it just shows how dumb America has gotten. Jews totally run Hollywood.

How deeply Jewish is Hollywood? When the studio chiefs took out a full-page ad in the Los Angeles Times a few weeks ago to demand that the Screen Actors Guild settle its contract, the open letter was signed by: News Corp. President Peter Chernin (Jewish), Paramount Pictures Chairman Brad Grey (Jewish), Walt Disney Co. Chief Executive Robert Iger (Jewish), Sony Pictures Chairman Michael Lynton (surprise, Dutch Jew), Warner Bros. Chairman Barry Meyer (Jewish), CBS Corp. Chief Executive Leslie Moonves (so Jewish his great uncle was the first prime minister of Israel), MGM Chairman Harry Sloan (Jewish) and NBC Universal Chief Executive Jeff Zucker (mega-Jewish). If either of the Weinstein brothers had signed, this group would have not only the power to shut down all film production but to form a minyan with enough Fiji water on hand to fill a mikvah.

The person they were yelling at in that ad was SAG President Alan Rosenberg (take a guess). The scathing rebuttal to the ad was written by entertainment super-agent Ari Emanuel (Jew with Israeli parents) on the Huffington Post, which is owned by Arianna Huffington (not Jewish and has never worked in Hollywood.)

The Jews are so dominant, I had to scour the trades to come up with six Gentiles in high positions at entertainment companies. When I called them to talk about their incredible advancement, five of them refused to talk to me, apparently out of fear of insulting Jews. The sixth, AMC President Charlie Collier, turned out to be Jewish.

As a proud Jew, I want America to know about our accomplishment. Yes, we control Hollywood. Without us, you’d be flipping between “The 700 Club” and “Davey and Goliath” on TV all day.

So I’ve taken it upon myself to re-convince America that Jews run Hollywood by launching a public relations campaign, because that’s what we do best. I’m weighing several slogans, including: “Hollywood: More Jewish than ever!”; “Hollywood: From the people who brought you the Bible”; and “Hollywood: If you enjoy TV and movies, then you probably like Jews after all.”

I called ADL Chairman Abe Foxman, who was in Santiago, Chile, where, he told me to my dismay, he was not hunting *****. He dismissed my whole proposition, saying that the number of people who think Jews run Hollywood is still too high. The ADL poll, he pointed out, showed that 59% of Americans think Hollywood execs “do not share the religious and moral values of most Americans,” and 43% think the entertainment industry is waging an organized campaign to “weaken the influence of religious values in this country.”

That’s a sinister canard, Foxman said. “It means they think Jews

meet at Canter’s Deli on Friday mornings to decide what’s best for the Jews.” Foxman’s argument made me rethink: I have to eat at Canter’s more often.

“That’s a very dangerous phrase, ‘Jews control Hollywood.’ What is true is that there are a lot of Jews in Hollywood,” he said. Instead of “control,” Foxman would prefer people say that many executives in the industry “happen to be Jewish,” as in “all eight major film studios are run by men who happen to be Jewish.”

But Foxman said he is proud of the accomplishments of American Jews. “I think Jews are disproportionately represented in the creative industry. They’re disproportionate as lawyers and probably medicine here as well,” he said. He argues that this does not mean that Jews make pro-Jewish movies any more than they do pro-Jewish surgery. Though other countries, I’ve noticed, aren’t so big on circumcision.

I appreciate Foxman’s concerns. And maybe my life spent in a New Jersey-New York/Bay Area-L.A. pro-Semitic cocoon has left me naive. But I don’t care if Americans think we’re running the news media, Hollywood, Wall Street or the government. I just care that we get to keep running them.

When a famous person dies they are naturally remembered for their talent. I give him SOME credit, Michael Jackson was a great entertainer, singer and songwriter. HOWEVER, now that Michael Jackson is dead, the only things I can truly remember about Michael Jackson is his absolutely freaky appearance, one of a *********** which may be the reason he liked little boys. More importantly, his child molestation INTERVIEW and his ridiculously lame explanation about having children sleeping in their underwear in his bedroom and the fact he was charged twice and accused numerous times of having sexual relations with children.

Some very important information is just obviously overlooked when you’re famous I guess. It’s funny how the media doesn’t even mention that Michael Jackson was accused of molesting little boys now.

1). Michael Jackson had a Neverland Ranch (a common luring or grooming practice that pedophiles use).

2). Michael Jackson had a motion sensor alarm on his bedroom door to alert him when someone was approaching his bedroom door. Why?

3). Michael Jackson admitted he slept in the same bed with children while they were wearing their underwear.

4). Why would Michael Jackson settle for 20 million with the family of the victim if he was innocent? It doesn’t make sense…

5). And, the list of info. goes on and on… like placing his child over a balcony!!!

I do not support or defend Michael Jackson in an way shape or form. I am not a fan, and anyone who does is obviously brainwashed!!! The fact of the matter is, Michael Jackson’s behavior was totally unacceptable and absolutely disgusting as to what he got away with over the years.

I can’t get past this pedophile thing, and I will only remember Michael Jackson for his sleepover parties with all of the little boys. THE CHILD MOLESTATION AND PEDOHPHILIA ASSOCIATION WITH MICHAEL JACKSON TOTALLY OUTWEIGHS AND SURPASSES ANY OF HIS SONGS, ALBUMS, or PERFOMANCES. R.I.P.

You do not know how hopefully you would be to me if anyone can figure this out for me!
