I always wondered who nibbled off the foreskins of Americans... But seriously, I somehow expected such an answer and I believe it to be heavily misinformed. It is the old formula, Jews are somehow responsible for it all. Can you give an example for a policy or public influence that was made in favor of Jews? I find them often very disagreeable. 2 Jews in a room can net you 5 different opinions. That is just a stereotype of course, but of what should this influence consist off? Israel? A large part of diaspora is often quite blunt with its criticism of Israel in a way that many Israeli don't hold back criticism themselves. Doesn't sound like effective collusion to be honest.

I can show you lots of policies that were made against whites.

  I assure you that there are Jews that are very critical with the recent focus on skin color, quotas for access to education and narratives surrounding white people being the root of evil. There are Jews that support them too, sure, but just as many or probably even more white people do so.

Does the public policy saying that in order to receive aid due to hurricane harvey you must vow not to boycott israeli products count? https://www.aclu.org/press-releases/texas-city-tells-people-no-hurricane-harvey-aid-unless-they-promise-not-boycott https://www.aclu.org/press-releases/texas-city-tells-people-... There are countless many examples like this.

  That is indeed quite a weird restriction. Sure that law was made by Jews? I think many would oppose such a move. On the other hand some feel compelled to enact such laws because there are groups tell funny stories about Jews or Israel. Any more examples? Help for hurricane relief, as weird as it may be, doesn't indicate political influence, although many states have special protections for minorities of all kind.

    You asked for public policy that favors Jews. This one favors them but is not targeted to American Jews rather Israelis. Boycotting Israel is not about telling funny stories about Jews. I suggest you read a little about why the boycott exists in the first place if you truly want to know. I had no idea Israelis thousands of miles away are considered minorities in states like Texas and Georgia and many others. There is also a restriction on working for the state that you must not boycott Israel. This is as clear as day that its a violation of free speech by gov actors.

      I think BDS is not a feasible strategy but I am firmly against silencing them in any way. That said, ask some Jews what they think about such policies. Again, this isn't indicative of anything aside from maybe a misaligned strategy to shield minorities.
