The problem is people take this as a direct criticism against all Jewish people. You see, Jewish people quite obviously control a lot more than "a part" of America. This is not to say they should all be kicked out, but it is to say that American's should be aware of it. For a 2% minority that is as ethnocentric as Jews to control such an amount of power can and is a dangerous thing. American's often forget why they are hated in the ME, they assume it is because Islam does not like their society, and their freedom (as described by GWB).
People like to think that "it shouldn't matter who controls the media, everyone is the same", but the reality of the situation is much different. Israel is a dangerous state that has many enemies. For the most part they have become so powerful and dominating of their neighbours thanks to America, and this is where the problem stems from.
You seem like a good guy Dre, but it is ignorant to assume that because you see everything and everyone as the same, that everyone else does too. You can give only so much, until you respect some gratitude in return.
For example, the West can invite Islam in and not discriminate based upon religion, but there comes a point when one of two things must happen. Either Islam must invite Europeans into their lands as openly (and protect their culture upon entry) or Europe must take measures to assure Islam does not come to dominate their lands and societies.
Perhaps this is just a long rant, but I guess you should be able to see the point. The matter is not whether all people should be granted access to power if they can achieve it, but rather what those people do with the power or opportunity when they get it (regardless of what ethnicity they are).
Considering the concentration of Jews in powerful positions in the US, and their tendacy to support like causes, it than comes in to question what causes are they supporting and what agendas are they pushing. Do you, as an American taxpayer really want to be linked to the shelling of a 5 year old Palestinian kid? If not, than you should question who is pushing the agenda (not as a group as a whole - as most Jews obviously don't have the power) but as individuals who control your nation (just as you would question the President of his agenda's).
