Am I supposed to give you a break, or is our esteemed colleague from the University of Wankerage, eppie, being asked?
I chose to address only the arms industry comment, as I know a little bit about that.
As to "The Jews"
Which ones? :D
There are plenty of folks here in the U.S. who are convinced that the US government is a puppet for Jewish interests, and I have gotten tired of hearing that song. What is correct is that, like many interest groups in our country, "The Jews" (whoever the hell that really is) take their shot at being heard and at peddling influence on Capitol Hill. American support for Israel does not happen in a vacuum. :)
Also peddling influence are Arabs, Chinses, Brits, Mexicans, Canadians, Baptists, Mormons, oilmen, cattlemen, carmakers, widget makers, and tree huggers. Did you ever wonder at why the US supported the defense and creation of a Muslim Client State on continental Europe? Think on that conundrum for a while, and sort out how that fits into the Jewish agenda, if you can. :D I sure can't!
Maybe there needs to be some lateral thinking done on the Palestine issue here in America. Maybe there is a future Nike ad to sell the Yassir Arafat line of sneakers, with Spike Lee doing the tag line:
"It's gotta be The Jews!"
Al Sharpton and Jessie Jackson would doubtless support the ad campaign, right alongside their friends in the KKK and the American Nazi Party! :P
