It's both but average Ashkenazi IQ is not 115 as Peterson made up. Peterson smeared Sephardic and Mizrahi Jews by saying that they have an IQ one standard deviation BELOW Europeans and slightly below African Americans.
You have to factor in Mizrahi and Sephardic along with the Palestinians.
You say as far as you are aware "there are just as many 170 IQ Whites as 170 IQ Jews in the world." What is this based on?
Saying the average Ashkenazi Jewish IQ is 115 is offensive to Sephardic and Mizrahi Jews because it would mean they have an average IQ lower than African Americans.
Regarding the Jewish 170 IQ group being equal to Whites in that range [allegedly]:
To begin with, there are VERY few people with IQ scores that high. If I'm not mistaken, only 1 in 50 White males has an IQ of 130, and something like 1 in a million for Blacks males.
So the 170+ IQ range is literally like 10 Whites + 10 Jews or something. Maybe an Asian and a Middle East-originated person.
I can't recall where, but I think 170 may be the IQ range where we can start counting the members on our hands.
Christopher Langen is allegedly the smartest person ever with a 200 IQ. He is a Trump supporter.

One thing for sure - a 170 IQ is higher than [Jewish] Einstein, or likely White/German Max Planck. Very, very high.

Regarding the question "Why not take out the Rothschild family?"
There is an interview with Alex Jones and the 1978-born David de Rothschild. At one point, Jones says he will go after [or we will go after] his family, and we know where they live, to which he responds:
"You don't know where our underground ones [homes] are."
Go on YouTube and check out Muammar Gaddafi's bunker. It's pretty insane. And his alleged net worth was $200 billion.
I'm curious who the real global elite are.
FYI, to be living in bunkers [or to possess them] proves they do fear public uprisings.
Bush Jr. probably knows the Rothschild family can do to him what he did to Saddam.
But with that much power, manoeuvring is not easy, IMO.
Again - they own bunkers. They live with some level of fear like all humans.
God, typing on this small virtual keyboard is slow.
