Jewish mobsters?
Meyer Lansky and Bugsy Siegel to name a couple. There were tons of them.
The gun control “Sullivan Act” in NYC was ostensibly to ban handguns to Jewish Gangsters who were taking over the old Irish gang territories.
Sergio Leone made a movie about it...

Jews were heavily entrenched in organized crime in the US in the 30s-40s-50s.
What interests me more is the global attempt by Jewry worldwide to harm the economy of Germany in the 1930s.
They were very organized, and many German (and non German) writings of the day reference this mass boycott.
The boycott hurt Germany, and IMO had the effect of turning the average German toward Hitler moreso than they normally would have turned to him.
When Hitler railed against a wordwide attempt by Jews to destroy Germany, there was a kernel of truth to that.
It’s a fascinating, little-known (by modern people) movement and I wish there was more written about it.
Did you think Dutch Schultz was a Lutheran?
There’s serious organized crime in Israel
I’ve known several
And in Russia they were quite dominant before Putin
Much more an ethic title than a religious one. I doubt many Jewish mobsters spent a lot of time in a synagogue.
