I'm not a Cohen-expert, but it's quite possible he was aware of more than one meaning, when he wrote the lyrics. Anyway the original version feautures a news broadcast about the left-wing terrorist group, Rote Arme Fraktion.

@nutella1959 The man himself has repeatedly said that the song is an examination of the mind of a terrorist - so on your reading he is equating Judaism with extreme terrorism. Happy with that?
He has also said: "It's a curious song. I used to know what it means but I don't remember what it means anymore. I think I intended to take Manhattan and then Berlin."
His songs are meant for interpretation, they are poetry. Don't impose your own narrow minded view.
