JS Tobin: Many of the protesters have been carrying signs and chanting slogans calling Macron the “whore of the Jews” and “the Jews’ puppet.”
What, you may ask, do the Jews have to do with French economic policy?

The correct answer is nothing. But to those wearing the yellow vests, Jews are apparently synonymous with the “establishment”—the unseen and anonymous power-brokers they feel are manipulating their lives and destroying their country."
In fact, Jews are a wealthy, powerful component of the French elite. See, e.g., @GuiDurocher's review of Anne Kline's La France LICRAtisée and Le CRIF: Un lobby au cœur de la République

From Durocher's review: "Jews in France are on the whole a privileged group benefiting from staggering over-representation among economic, political, legal & cultural elite.
As in other countries, these elites use their power to ostracize, demonize and persecute anyone who critically discusses their inevitable ethnic biases and activism." Jewish influence made easier by the concentration of power in Paris.
