U.S. Govt To Give "Minority" Status To Jewish-Owned Businesses, Conferring "Billions" In Benefits

Jewish Americans, who have the highest incomes in the country of any ethno-religious group, are going to be eligible for billions of dollars in new benefits meant to help struggling "minorities" under new rules from the US Department of Commerce.

The decision to grant Jews "minority" status is being justified as "fair, given the discrimination that Jews have faced, especially since Oct. 7," according to the Jewish News Syndicate.

From the Jewish News Syndicate, "US government agrees to confer 'minority' status on Jewish-owned businesses":

Jews make up about 2.4% of the American population, per some estimates. A new memorandum of understanding ensures that the U.S. Commerce Department will consider entities owned by Jews to be "minority business enterprises."

"We're going to be able to benefit from billions of dollars of these programs, contracts, some loans, grants, the hundreds of different programs that every single Jewish business is going to benefit from," Duvi Honig, founder and CEO of the Orthodox Jewish Chamber of Commerce, told JNS.

"This is something that impacts everyone—every single business in the Jewish world, in all 50 states," Honig said. "We are officially a partner with the United States Department of Commerce and the government."
