hal,
I agree that many of the accusations are bogus and as stated indicate hatred for Jews, religious or secular (non-Jewish Jews).
However, to state statistics that Jews have a strong presence in media, entertainment, publishing, and finance, is not hateful, per se.Nor is it a crime to be in those positions.
It is only when those positions are used to finance settlements (shtetlments), buy weaponry, steal American military secrets, establish non-profit organizations and charities(tax-deductible from US taxes), send that money to Isra'El, slant the news, create movies, television programs, literature, religious dialogue that is half-truthful, does it become problematic and should be questioned and revealed to the public.
Furthermore, some of the above is created and sustained by non-Jews, most often fundamentalist Christians, who yet hold onto their Crudader mindset and wish to finally triumph by taking back the "Holy Land", this time in the form of Zionism.
The "anti-semitic" [sic] smokescreen comes into play when those cries are used to stifle the revealing of the mechanics of how Isra'El is getting its money and technology and from whom.
FYI, Isra'El is the most dangerous place for a Jew to be. The idea is to end discrimination and persecution against Jews for their faith and culture.
Isra'El not only does not end that, but encourages it due to its nature and policies against the native peoples of that land.
