A claim that “the Jews” have disproportionate power is an odious anti-Semitic stereotype, but a claim that establishment Jews have power over ordinary Jews (mainly the power to cow them, by saying “Are you a self-hating Jew?” “Do you hate Israel?” etc.) in their communities to manufacture a semblance of consensus to serve imperialism, just as establishment Cubans, establishment Blacks, establishment whatever do, isn’t.
Norman Finkelstein has long argued that Jewish leaders are very eager to play along with whatever the non-Jewish sector of the ruling class is up to, to cement their position as members of the elite. That seems like an important point - and, if anything, the opposite of anti-Semitic.
