Summary:
Of the fifty-five(55) Council on Foreign Relations think tank members, thirty-one(31) are Jews or have Jewish spouses. This is a numerical representation of 56%. Jews are approximately 2% of the U.S. population.* Therefore Jews are over-represented in the Council on Foreign Relations think tank by a factor of 28 times(2,800 percent).
* Jewish Population of the United States by State:

Some comments:
Humorously: Jerome A.Cohen: makes a curious “monkey” impression.
Steven Dunaway: some “whites” better could be called “red skins”.
Seriously: Shannon K. O’Neil: is classified as”White European” but her face looks 100% Semitic (not Irish). Are you sure she has not a Jewish maiden name?
April 21, 2011 at 4:24 pm
No, I’m not sure. It’s impossible to learn the maiden names of many of the women on these lists, which means that I’ve probably identified some of these women as “White Europeans” who are actually Jewish or partially Jewish.
