Why are there so many Jews in the American leadership?

1, a large number: By the 1990s, the total number of Jews in the United States had exceeded 6 million.

2. Pay attention to education: The occupational survey of Russian Jewish immigrants in new york shows that among the first generation of male immigrants, 6 1.2% are engaged in processing industry, and only 27.5% are engaged in business; This proportion has changed greatly among the second generation of male immigrants, with 32.6% engaged in processing industry and 57.8% engaged in business; For another example, in 189 1 year, only a dozen Jews from Eastern Europe and Russia worked as doctors and lawyers in new york, but only after1year, the number has risen to thousands. For most Hispanic families who immigrate to the United States, it takes several generations to make the same progress, while African-Americans need more time. Today, the per capita education level of American Jewish community is still the highest among all ethnic groups.

3. Join forces to participate in politics: The main purpose of American Jews participating in politics is naturally to safeguard their own rights and interests, and they pay special attention to the following three points: opposing any form of anti-Semitism; Support Israel; Repeated Holocaust education and tracing Nazi crimes. This kind of participation in politics is often led and coordinated by Jewish organizations, among which the more important organizations are: American Jewish Committee, American Women's Zionist Organization, Anti-Defamation League (ADL) (ADL), American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee, American Jewish Congress, World Jewish Congress, American-Israeli Affairs Committee, American Federation of Presidents of Major Jewish Organizations, and Simon wiesenthal Center.

American Jews participate in politics mainly by actively participating in elections, providing political donations, playing the role of public opinion tools and exerting influence through out-of-hospital groups. According to statistics, among the major ethnic groups, Jews have the highest voting rate, generally as high as 90%. New york, California, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey and Ohio, where Jews mainly live, have more delegates and more presidential electors, and their election results will have an important impact on the overall situation of the national election. No wonder when there are presidential and parliamentary elections, the two parties will compete for Jewish votes at all costs.

In addition, American Jews also have a great influence on newspapers, radio, publishing and movies. Whenever there is a dispute involving the interests of Jews or Israel, the "Jewish gang" in the media will take concerted action, which often plays an excellent publicity role. Among the lobbying groups in the United States, the Jewish lobbying group is the most closely organized and efficient. For example, the pro-Israel lobby group with the "US-Israel Public Affairs Committee" as its core has a network that keeps close contact with Jewish organizations and societies all over the United States, and influences Jewish voters, members of Congress and government officials through this network until lobbying the White House. For 50 years, the United States has been Israel's number one ally, and has given Israel hundreds of billions of dollars in huge aid, which is the direct result of the pro-Israel activities of the Jewish community in the United States.
