I've never thought about a genetic component, I just look at it as pure nepotism/looking out for themselves and others within their group at the expense of everyone else. It's certainly not a new thing and people have been complaining about it for hundreds of years including some of the most famous people who have ever lived. It's something every group practices but one group has just been more successful at it than others. They also blend in better than any other group so most people aren't going to be able to tell them apart from the average white person. There are plenty of people who would look at the pictures I posted above and they'd call it "white privilege" not "Jewish nepotism/privilege". I think if I told you "black people look out for other black people" or "Muslims look out for other Muslims" or "Chinese people look out for other Chinese people" - in countries where they're a minority - you wouldn't take issue with any of those statements in general. Similarly, I'm telling you "Jewish people look out for other Jewish people" but also that they hold more power in 'Western' nations than any of those other minority groups (probably combined). And since we're not part of that group what's good for them may not be good for me and you.
