The "Jewish people" include Edom. The modern Jewish people are not identical to the Israelites of the Old Testament or even the "Jews" (Judeans) of the New Testament. They are a mixed group of people united by "Jewish identity". The Edomite portion is a small subset of "Jews".
Many of the royal families of Europe also claim Edomite ancestry via Herod and his relatives. Most of these royals tend to be the "Black nobility" so called, which also from what I can tell run the College of Cardinals of the Vatican and therefore are the actual holders of power within the Papacy. They seem to at least have the money bags anyway, and as they say "follow the money" to see who's actually in charge of things.
It is my current understanding that world politics is essentially a family dispute between Jacob and Esau (their respective descendants). Both family lines have their own version of who gets the estate from grandpa Abraham. Jacob's version of the story is what we call "The Bible". It would be expected that the descendants of Esau would have their own version of the story. "Jacob and his descendants have been stealing what is rightfully ours, so we got to get it back" etc.
The "world domination" thing is inherent to both families' understanding of the inheritance. For example:
Romans 4:13 KJV
For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.
It should also be pointed out that the Jacob/Esau conflict for control of the world does not imply that one side is good and the other evil. That is to say, it doesn't mean "Edom is the bad guys and Jacob is the good guys." Jacob's descendants have a long history of being "bad tribesmen", rebellious to God, evil, etc. Any cursory reading of the Old Testament will prove this. And as Paul points out, within Jacob the inheritance is not going to just any old Jacobite, but to those who are righteous by faith, ie those who are loyal subjects of the rightful King of Israel, Jesus Christ.
