Only through the distorted prism of Hitler and other anti-Semites, who saw then and see now Jews as "types," not people. They assume that all Jews are the stereotypical caftan-wearing black-hatted, bearded, grubby, whining, secretive collection of omnipotent pawnbrokers, bankers, and Bolsheviks, all in service to Satan, Stalin, and gold.

Once you start with that view of the Jews, you're ready to attribute all manner of evil and power to them.

Sometimes I wish Jews had that much power. It would make my life a lot easier. Instead of being in debt and living in poverty in Newark, I'd live in a gigantic mansion in New Zealand, with a second one in San Francisco, a third in New York, a fourth in London, and be a part-owner of the New York Yankees.
