I know this question sounds so trolly, that's why I included the hash-tag, but bear with me and please read this question in it's entirety.

I was taught that Jews control the media when I was younger, and now I'm recently learning that if a person makes a statement about Jewish/Zionest influence in the media, economy, or society, they are blacklisted.
I think that the fact that a person is blacklisted for saying something about Jewish influence only paradoxically proves the thereafter.
I was intrigued with this issue, and according to Wikipedia,
"One well-known antisemitic cliché is that "the Jews control the media".
Why is it antisemetic to say that Jews control the media if Jews in fact do control the media, economy, etc? Why is Abraham Foxman so...ashamed? Do Jews (or Abraham Foxman, who thinks he speaks for all Jews) think of owning and controlling major industries and having influence as a bad thing? I am a teenager and I genuinly do not understand.

If the group I identify with (Muslim, East African) was seen as powerful, aristocratic, wealthy, and maybe kinda greedy I would be proud. Irrationally proud, but, not ashamed.
So why is it antisemitic to say that Jews 'control' something? If that statement is found to be false, than the person saying it should be ignored. But if it is found to be true that major influences are headed by Jews/Zionists, what's the problem?

I think Jews control the media and I don't care if it's non-PC. Facts are facts.

There is no "one group" that controls the media or entertainment world. And, it is true that many are homosexuals in the 'entertainment' world.



It has been known over decades that Jewish people do make some good decisions when it comes to money. They are also very involved in education and make some good lawyers, doctors and dentists.



I just point people back to who was on their side way back and that was the Almighty God Jehovah. Problem is, they rejected him and now it is opened up for ALL people to be able to be His "choosen ones". IF some are ashamed as you put it, probably because many claiming to be christian are against them, when in actuality, it was not just the Jews that put Christ to death, it involved many others.



Believe it or not, the world is being influenced by Satan. That is a fact. 1 John 5:19



But this will SOON be done away with to open up the way for God's kingdom. Daniel 2:44

Jews don't have total control of the media, but they are over-represented in the media in relation to their total number. It's not antisemitic to point that out.



Although antisemitism is deplorable (as any form of discrimination is), some lobby groups use the term where it's not warranted, as a method of trying to quash debate.



For example, criticism of Israeli policies is sometimes shouted down as antisemitic, even when Jews like Noam Chomsky are the ones doing the criticising.

Because Jews *don't* control the media. Let's start with that, shall we?

In my eyes, it's all about them trying to keep the sympathy going from WW2 where they, supposedly, were slaughtered by the german nazi troops. Once people realize that the jews are actually controlling the media, and that they are pretty much above the ordinary white man, that sympathy will fade which will keep the jews from doing whatever they want. Just like in the Palestine/Israel conflict.

"...antisemitic cliche..." This can be applied to any group, even yours. A paraphrase might be "negative stereotype". Take it on balance.

How do you feel about me saying that Muslim East Africans are pirates, killers, and poorly educated?

Facts are facts and that is what East African Muslims are doing.

Got to love the antisemitic method of claiming something is not antisemitic because they claim it is true.
