What is the relevance of them being Jewish?

bc i thought in order to eliminate them, they had to ask first all the way up, to dispatch them if whether they were "made" men or not. tracing their lineage back to Italy. stone wouldn't have talked it was said, so why kill him? this part confuses me..plus green lived and stone died? most rats in the mob are made men, or part italian, not jewish.

Stone was based on real life Alan Dorfman I remember when he was whacked in real life at the Hyatt House https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purple_Hoteljust a few miles from my home.

Green was based on real life Allen Glick.

Dorfman was definitely Jewish, I always assumed Glick was as well
