Since it's obvious that you meant Jews, then I definitely feel that you
are making a racist remark.  1) You have no proof that support of Israel
is provided because of "over-represented and over influential" American
Jews.  The fact is that US interests decide foreign policy with respect
to Israel.  2) The line you have is exactly the line taken by hard-line
racists (Farrakhan, neo-nazis, etc.).  You call my seeing the similarity
of your arguments (not only in this case, but in general; I won't forget
what you said about the spy case) to that of racists "persecution
paranoia".  I don't care what anyone calls it.  As a Jew, I have a 
responsibility to fight the spread of racism.
