My best friend is Jewish and I have no doubts about them or their ethics. But I think what people are pointing out more here is that a lot of the top level conspirators do seem to belong to one particular religion. I think it's less that all Jewish people are bad (obviously silly, there are lots of great Jewish people) and more that the top conspirators all seem to belong to the same club and that club seems to stick to one religion.
lol of course I know about confirmation bias. And I just said I FULLY believe there are lots of great Jewish people. Personally, I generally find that on average, I have much more in common with your average Jewish person than your average Christian. I find on average Jewish people tend to share more interests and outlooks with me and are generally very interesting conversationalists.
But leaving personal preferences aside, I am also going to stand by my assertion that when you look at top conspirators, this one religion is overrepresented. I do NOT think this is due to a moral failing in the religion. I just think it's the religion the conspirator club often happens to use (or pretends to use as cover, I don't actually think the conspirators are what you'd call "god fearing monotheists"). If you are concerned about confirmation bias Let's talk about numbers then. Google tells me "Globally, the Jewish population is estimated to be around 0.2% of the world's population." What are the odds that this extremely small population happens to encapsulate Weinstein, Epstein, Ghislane Maxwell, George Soros, the pizza gate guy, the Rothchildes, is massively overrepresented in the liberal media, the Frankfurt school,, Marx, Hollywood, congress etc etc etc
Confirmation bias doesn't mean that you think there aren't any "great Jewish people".
It means that you're paying more attention to things that point out that Jewish people are involved in misdeeds.
You're taking the global percentage of Jewish people and applying that to famous people in the USA/Canada and Israel, for the most part.
There are myriad reasons why Jewish people make up a (relatively) large percentage of people in finance, politics, Hollywood, and the media.
Historically, one of the main reasons Jewish people are prominent in finance is because they weren't allowed to own land. And since Christians weren't allowed (at certain times and in certain places) to charge interest on loans (thus, few Christian bankers) banking was one of the ways Jewish people could make money and support their families.
When Jewish people were excluded from joining other (predominantly Christian) social circles (country clubs, hotels, universities, etc...), they created their own networks and industries. Again, finance is one of those industries. Due to when and where the film industry in the US was established, it became yet another industry that had a heavy Jewish population.
Traditionally, Judaism has placed a high value on things like education and debate. Because of those values, high profile careers like medicine, law, and academia have been favored by Jewish people.
It's not that bad things are more likely to be done by Jewish people. It's that Jewish people are historically more likely to be involved in highly visible careers (which means it's likely anything they do will become public knowledge) and confirmation bias makes people think the fact that they're Jewish is the reason they're doing bad things.
If you really want to narrow down the common denominator that's shared by all the people you've listed, it's wealth.
But I don't see it being said that insanely rich people are evil or being criticized for doing bad things when they're rich, or that money is a bad thing. Especially considering how well regarded Trump, Musk, Wilbur Ross, Linda McMahon and all the other high networth people in Trump's circle are.
What we would really need to do, to break this down, would be to agree on a list of top conspirators, list their religions/heritage and then compare the percentage of elite conspirators to the general population of each religion. HAHhahaha, I'm not going to do that because I feel I've gotten a pretty good gist but if you want to start the list I'd be curious to see what your numbers are!

Sure it seems that way if only one religion/ethnicity is consistently highlighted for such things.
Do you think because it's not consistently pointed out that white Christians are at the head of nefarious dealings that there aren't that many?
Are you familiar with the term "confirmation bias"?
