Actually Jews are a race, they are a religion or a multitude of religions as I've found it seems no two Jews agree upon exactly what Judaism is, there are multiple documents and many of them conflict, the racial aspect is also fuzzy since they are "Sons of Jacob" but along maternal lines which means genetically only the mitochondrial DNA would be in common, and culture seems to have it's share of varieties also. I understand what Xu Xin is saying but the category Jew is too broad to really be useful in this context and yet, myself I haven't figured out what is special about these people who are widely in power, it's not the Jewish people as a whole it is a very small subset. They are Jewish, they aren't your average run of the mill Jew. So what is special about this group? Can we find a better identifier?
