Like this one:

Robert Soran von Grosswardein · Top CommenterI was successful, and I worked in many places all over the world and in many companies on the higher and highest floors. My experience? We, the people with the same "faith" have always rapidly "find" each other and we almost always have supported and promoted each other much more than other people we weren't as close to. To find the right, good jobs also used to be somewhat "easier". And I know many Jewish children, my own, those of friends, neighbors, in the communities, and I saw them grow and some day leave the parental home. Mostly with a bunch of Jewish contacts we knew or somebody we knew knew :-) Which made it much easier for the kids to accommodate to the world outside, given the strong support they got and get from people they didn't know at all. My non-Jewish friends with kids aren't usually AS fortunate as we do. Of course we try to help them, too, and this is what the author calls responsibility we took upon ourselves: for others, for the society.


And this one (same guy):

Robert Soran von Grosswardein · Top CommenterThere is no other (former) ethnic group in US with more power and control of the media, finance, politics, arts, etc. than the Jewish minority. This is the story the numbers tell, and this is the story the AIPAC conferences tell. How many congress(wo)men, senators, governors, ministers and Whit Housers can afford to miss them? Not many ...
We are successful not only individually or as families, the way usually the others do. No, we are also successful as a ethno-religious community, best integrated, but not assimilated. This is the big difference to all other people around us. Except a few, e.g. the Chinese, the Sikh communities.
And we are in part so successful in the Western world because of the Holocaust narrative that still guarantees us a kind of collective bonus. This is maybe an explanation why it is much more difficult for us to be individually and collectively successful in the Asian countries that had nothing to do with the Western, Christian antisemitism
