I love how they start with the basis of the argument - "Bill Traut was Jewish". Show me one thing which says he is Jewish. He may or may not be. I cannot find anything to indicate it. Which pretty much discredits everything else.
Regardless, Jews have been targets for millennia for several reasons:
1) Jewish dietary guidelines (kosher) go a long way to helping to prevent food poisoning by poor handling techniques and diseases (trichinosis, etc.). So when the non-Jews would get sick in a village, and the Jews didn't, well, there you go....Jews' fault;
2) Innate to the Jewish culture is education, academia, and skill at business. When you have an educated demographic, you produce successful people. Jews have always been drawn to music, entertainment, academia, and business. Of course you are going to see a disproportionate number in successful positions. Just like you see disproportionate numbers of Asians in the best universities - their culture embraces education.
3) I know shittons of Jews of every persuasion. Not once, EVER, have I seen anything which would remotely indicate involvement in pedo.
I get the conspiracy theory thing. Some people just flat out don't like Jews. It's fine. There are other ethnicities I am not fond of either. We all have our own prejudice and bias. The "It's the Jews, stupid" argument keeps getting floated about because there is no way to prove or disprove it. It's a Mobius strip of an argument which continuously feeds itself but has no end.
I agree that it is not relevant to the investigation, anymore than any other ethnic group involved in this case. In fact, everyone we have discovered is WHITE. Maybe this is a problem with white people?

Never seen anything pedo related in Jewish culture? Do you know what a bar mitzvah is?
