Here is what she said, with Morris' editorializing removed:

"Jews . . . achieved influence and power at the highest levels."

and

"CEOs of large American corporations and representatives of the top levels of media and entertainment businesses, financial institutions, legal and medical professions and, increasingly, the highest reaches of government."

If I were Jewish I would certainly not be insulted, I'd be proud. The statements are also true.

Now, I'm certain her intent was not to praise Jews, but as an American I am not insulted by those statements. So Jews worked hard and have succeeded; isn't that what America is all about?

I am a Jew, and you are right; ordinarily success IS something to be proud of. I tell my kids essentially what you said. BUT, and it's a big BUT, this information is often put forth with the implication that soemthing nefarious took place; there is some kind of cosnpiracy at work (The Protocols of the Elders...).

It's not hard work, intelligence, investment, thrift, honesty, etc. that helps the joos, you see; it's all an evil cabal intent on stealing what you have in power and wealth.
