&gt;How true is all of this? 

A number of Jews have prominent positions in business, finance, and entertainment. Most of us are just average people. We aren't a cabal that collectively controls the world--if we were, I'd quit my day job--and the idea that we do is born out of centuries of antisemitic rhetoric that makes us into scapegoats because, for most of our history, we have been "the other," that's all.

To add a bit to this, it is certainly true there are (proportionate to their population) an impressively high number of Jewish people at executive levels of many industries. 

Is it a conspiracy? Not really. It’s just a mix of a history putting an emphasis on education and business more than other groups, plus hiring within their group. 

Just like a Harvard man likes to hire other Harvard men, let’s say the CEO of Large Bank Inc is Jewish. He’s likely to hire or recommend people in his circle, and Jewish people often associate with other Jewish people predominately (thanks to a long and rough history of being outcast).
