Ed: So what if he's Jewish, or his investors. His jewish teachings didn't cause or encourage his behavior, so why even mention it. And the fact that most of his investors are jewish is also irrelevent. What did cause his reprehensible behavior was good ol' greed, which knows no affiliations, religious, political or otherwise. It's simply a lack of integrity, which seems to be all too prevalent these days; epecially amongst our politicians. I would place the blame more on the parents...

Therefore, the Jewish community is especially outraged. This is not a slight against the Jewish community and provides no reason not to identify this fact. Of course they worked hard for their money and have reason to be outraged. However, I fail to see the relevances of your comment. The Jewish community is a fact of life in the same way the Catholic, Hispanic, or Baptist communities, for example, are a fact. I see nothing wrong with identifying such groups when they are likely to act in a particular way as a group.
