Time Text
Nathaniel Charles Jacob Rothschild is the fourth Baron Rothschild of the notorious Rothschild family of European interloper Jew bankers.
Rothschild describes in this video Jewish nationalism known as Zionism, which found a home in the State of Israel, which had its modern genesis in the 1917 Balfour Declaration issued by the British Foreign Secretary, Arthur Balfour, To the Second Baron Lord Walter Rothschild, a leader of the British Jewish community, for transmission to the Zionist Federation of Great Britain and Ireland.
The text of the declaration was published in the press on the 9th of November, 1917.
Jewish internationalism is called communism.
It found a home in the 1917 Russian Revolution to become the Soviet Union.
Communism, as written about by the Jew Karl Marx, and Zionism are rooted in tikkun olam, which in Hebrew means molding the world in Jewish values for world repair.
It involves the purification and husbandry of goyim, or non-Jews.
Jews believe the goyim have no souls, as is the case with animals.
In this video, Rothschild recounts how his family seized Israel for the Zionist homeland by sponsoring Zionism.
His remarks are astonishing insofar as the misrepresentations he makes about dispossessing Palestinians.
He won't even refer to them by their name which connects them to Palestine but instead calls them Arabs.
We'll let the video play and break in for comments as Rothschild misrepresents the truth about the stolen illegitimate state called Israel that has no right to exist and is secularly rooted in the Balfour Declaration and in a mythological covenant with Abraham.
This Rothschild act of mischief and menace is crucial today in view of the conflict between Jews and Palestinians
Who were dispossessed of their homeland, which Zionist Jews renamed Israel in 1948 after over 800,000 Palestinians were made refugees, and the remnant were forcibly herded at gunpoint into the open-air prisons of Gaza and the West Bank, where Palestinians have endured there for 75 years in harsh conditions, being mistreated, beaten, tortured, killed, and deprived, and had restricted access to the basics of life such as water, food, and freedom of movement and self-determination.
It's 67 words long, it's a hundred years old, and it changed the course of history for the Middle East and the Jewish people.
The Balfour Declaration, the expression of the British government's support for a Jewish home in Palestine, was sent by British Foreign Secretary Arthur Balfour To the second Lord Rothschild.
We're going to stop briefly to give you some important background and history before you formally meet Lord Nathaniel Charles Jacob Rothschild, better known as Jacob Rothschild.
Note that the presenter is wearing a Jewish Yarmulke skullcap, so don't expect any hard questions of Jacob Rothschild.
Rothschild is about to give us, an ah shucks, story of good fortune, how his family unexpectedly got the Balfour Declaration that green-lit Zionist Jews to go to Palestine at gunpoint set up a Jewish state on other people's land, namely at the expense of the Palestinian people.
In the aftermath of the First World War in 1917, which Great Britain won at the last minute, with the aid of the United States, Great Britain acquired the Ottoman Empire, which covers what today we call the Middle East.
Modern Turkey is what we called the Ottomans before World War I. The British carved up the Middle East with new national borders over tribal Arabs creating the mess it is today.
Palestine became a British mandate.
Essentially, this meant Britain was a trustee over the land of the Palestinian people, who'd been there since time immemorial.
It had an obligation of trust in favor of Palestinians.
The World Zionist Movement used the Rothschild finance connections to recruit the United States to come to the aid of Great Britain to win World War I.
The Rothschilds and other European Jewish bankers in 1913 had connived to get themselves the exclusive central banking franchise we know as the Federal Reserve Bank.
It's a private bank that is neither federal nor has any reserves.
It creates money from nothing and loans it to the United States government at interest.
The Fed, as it's known, owns the money supply of the United States.
It was this control over the U.S.
government that was leveraged by the Rothschild banking family to bring the United States into World War I to aid Great Britain, who up to that point was losing the war.
The Rothschilds gave Great Britain a war win in return for Palestine.
The 1917 Balfour Declaration was the payoff to the Rothschilds.
In this sickening interview, you won't hear a word of this dirty deal that threw the Palestinian people under the bus and dispossessed them of their land, and for some 76 years to today, making them captives in the open-air prison of Gaza and the Jew-run Apartheid West Bank in what's called Israel today.
Jacob Rothschild, in his anal, plum-in-the-mouth voice, pretends the Balfour Declaration was a stroke of good fortune.
He ignores the Palestinians and moreover pays lip service to the express condition in the Balfour Declaration that nothing would be done to prejudice the rights of the Palestinian people who inhabited Palestine.
Did that happen?
We know it hasn't.
The Palestinians have been dispossessed of their land, jailed in Gaza, and when they've complained, they've been crushed, murdered, and made out to be terrorists without cause, when the Jews and their Rothschild sponsors of what's called Israel today are the criminals.
The Jews are occupiers, thieves, and killers, and had no right to create Israel as colonialists.
The United Nations partitioned Palestine, and in 1948, Jews self-proclaimed Palestine to be the State of Israel.
It has been one huge fraud which goes back to the Balfour Declaration, and before that, to a 3,000-year-old fable about a land deal between Abraham and God who was acting in his divine role as a real estate broker.
You might have heard the story of the Promised Land, which Jews like to repeat.
Go figure.
A real estate deal.
Now listen to Rothschild obfuscate, cloud, muddle, and fog the truth in a magician's trick.
He's no grandfatherly figure.
It's his proxies of U.S.
captive congressmen, media control by the Jew diaspora of Sionemes, that are killing women and children in Gaza today, and have galvanized a retinue of coward nations which their domestic Jewish interests have captured.
These unconscionable nations are holding their noses to genocidal crimes being committed by Israel against the Palestinian people.
An even more despicable gaggle of nations pretends to have no opinion or interest and choose to remain silent, which amounts to consent to what Israel is doing in Gaza.
Never again will the pious principles of human rights have any meaning.
We're all potential Palestinians now, and Jacob Rothschild and his usurous, despicable family have been up to their necks in crimes since before the Balfour Declaration.
Financing wars for profit and their own strategic interests.
Now watch Rothschild bullshit us.
His family owns the news services of the Associated Press and Reuters, which ensures the misdirection, misinformation, and lies have marinated your newspapers, television, and online mainstream media.
This interview is part of the litany of lies about the State of Israel and how it came into existence on the blood of the Palestinian people who have been forsaken by the world.
I'm here in Buckinghamshire at Waddesdon Manor to speak with the Fourth Lord Rothschild about the Balfour Declaration, what it means for Britain, for the Jewish people, and the Rothschild family.
The Foreign Office, November 2nd, 1917.
Dear Lord Rothschild, I have much pleasure in conveying to you, on behalf of His Majesty's Government, the following declaration of sympathy with Jewish Zionist aspirations, which has been submitted to and approved by the Cabinet.
So it's possibly the most famous letter in modern Jewish history and it begins with three words.
Dear Lord Rothschild, why was it that this letter was sent by the Foreign Secretary to your great uncle Walter?
It's an interesting question because he was He wasn't really interested in ornithology, although he became interested in Zionism.
I think the reason was this, that it was primarily a movement from Eastern Europe.
But they didn't clarify who was in charge of that movement.
And, in addition, it was, after all, in Great Britain.
So they felt that the Rothschild family should be the one to whom it was addressed.
And Walter was Lord Rothschild, and he was a Zionist.
And those rarely are the background reasons.
So Walter received the Balfour Declaration, and I have a copy here.
And I wonder if I could possibly ask you to read it for us?
Yes indeed, yeah.
I'm going to put on my spectacles to make sure I read it accurately.
His Majesty's Government Do with favour the establishment of Palestine as a national home for the Jewish people, and we'll use our best endeavours to facilitate the achievement of this object.
It being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine, or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country.
I should be grateful if you would bring this declaration to the knowledge of the Zionist Federation.
Yours, Arthur Balfour.
And here it is, the Balfour Declaration.
What do you feel when you see it here?
I genuinely think it's one of the most extraordinary moments in the history of the Jewish people.
If you think it took 3,000 years to get to this.
And then you say, how did this miracle happen?
It's the most incredible piece of opportunism.
I mean, if you think, you had an impoverished would-be scientist, Haim Weizmann, who somehow gets to England.
He meets a few people, including members of my family, seduces them.
He has such great charm and conviction.
He gets to Balfour and he unbelievably persuades Balfour And Lloyd George, the Prime Minister, and most of the Ministers, that this idea of the National Home for Jews should be allowed to take place.
I mean, it's so, so unlikely.
And then he, you know, starts to fight a difficult battle with the British Cabinet, and this letter goes through five drafts, as you know.
And in the end it comes out as a rather compromising letter.
I mean the essential point is there for the Jewish community to fasten on to.
You have the first bit which promises a national home rather than the national home.
And then you have the bit that nothing that's to be done should in any way harm the Arab community.
But you come back to the big point which is that this is perhaps the greatest event in Jewish life for thousands of years and it's a miracle that it took place.
And of course the Rothschild family then as now filled two roles because it wasn't just a leader of diaspora Jewry it also played a very significant role in the early years of the establishment of the pioneer communities in Israel as well.
There were two branches of the Rothschild family primarily concerned.
One in France through Baron Edmund Rothschild, who was the one who responded to the Russian programs in the 1880s.
In England there was a divide.
Some of the Rothschilds, in particular, Baron Edmonds' son, James, known as Jimmy, had come from France, partly because of the Dreyfus case and his horror about what had happened.
To live in England, he was educated, he came to university.
And he married an English girl, Mrs. James de Rothschild, and she became a leader at a very young age.
She was only 17 when she started writing to Weizmann and introducing him to the British establishment.
Other Rothschilds felt it was better to be assimilated into English life and although they retained their interest in Judaism and Jewish life they didn't think it was a good thing that this national home should be established in Israel so something that divided my family as with many other families.
I wonder as somebody who moves in the highest echelons of British society and is very close to Israel whether you in your life feel a tension between concern for Israel and loyalty to Britain.
No, I don't personally feel that.
I mean, I've been completely committed to Israel since the early 1960s and have been there every year since.
So...
I don't feel that conflict, but I of course feel the huge loyalty to Great Britain.
Just tell us a little bit more about Walter, the second Lord Rothschild, because he was an unusual and colourful character.
He was a deeply eccentric man, but from a very early age his passion was collecting.
He rode about Tring Park on a giant tortoise.
He had a zebra carriage.
A carriage pulled by zebras.
Yes.
He collected on a massive scale birds, insects, fleas, butterflies.
He was the largest single collection created by a single individual.
I think that's true.
I think certainly in Great Britain, I think probably anywhere, he was the greatest collector of ornithological material.
His niece, Miriam, writes that for two years, as one of his eccentricities, he didn't open any of the letters that were sent to him, and stuffed them away into wicker baskets.
And it does make you wonder what would have happened if the Balfour Declaration, the letter had been one of those letters that he'd actually, you know, stuffed.
Yes, that's true.
At that stage, and it's very difficult to quite understand why, he had I've taken a deep interest in what was happening about the possibility of Valfour Declaration, so maybe those letters would have got to the top of his pile.
I just want to revisit for a moment your cousin Dorothy, who you mentioned, who at an extraordinarily young age, still in her teens, played such a critical role as a go-between and a facilitator for Chaim Weizmann.
Can you say a little bit about that?
Well, she married my cousin Jimmy When she was 17.
So this is, um, this is your cousin Dorothy, Dolly.
Yep, this is Jane de Rothschild.
And from her teenage years onwards, she was a major supporter of Israel, wasn't she?
Major supporter, I mean, she worshipped her husband, who'd been deeply committed, um, son of Baron Edmure.
It was due to him, I think, that she became interested, but once she became interested, she became Passionately interested.
After his death, she became even more committed.
She just wanted to carry out his wishes and what he cared deeply about.
And then she had her own personality.
A deeply good human being who was quite unselfish.
She devoted herself to this place, to Israel, and to a few friends, and had a wonderful life.
And you can read letters from her to Weizmann and from Weizmann to her when she was only 17.
And what she did Which was crucially important was to connect up Weizmann with the British establishment.
I think she also trained him in how to deal, she helped educate him how to conduct himself.
And it's extraordinary at that age, but she did sort of tell Weizmann, you know, how to kind of integrate, how to insert himself into British establishment life, which he learned very quickly.
So I'm here in the Waddesdon Manor archives where there is a treasure trove of remarkable documents from the time of the Balfour Declaration.
We have the correspondence here between the teenage Dorothy and her husband James and it's really a love story.
Here Dorothy is writing to James.
She says, Jimmy, I thought I would not like one day to pass without giving you a piece of news you have never heard before.
I love you.
But of course their correspondence wasn't just romantic correspondence.
Here we have detailed letters describing her dealings with Zionist leaders, her advice and her suggestions regarding the conferences of the Zionist movement.
And here we have a letter that the young Dorothy, still not 20, sent to Dr. Chaim Weizmann, where she's talking about the meetings that she's arranged for him.
And as we've heard, she was helpful in training and preparing him to enter into the highest echelons of British society to advance the cause of the Zionist movement.
She was an important character in your life as well.
She really introduced you to Israel in some ways.
She was a crucially important character in my life.
I became a trustee of Yad Hanadib over 50 years ago.
Which is the Rothschild Philanthropic Foundation.
Yes, the Rothschild Foundation.
And I think I first went in 1962.
Can you share with us your sense of what things have been changing in Israel since that first visit?
Yes, as Israel, I think, became more and more successful in all sorts of ways, industrially successful, absorption successful, technologically successful, great universities, the problems With the wars that took place, being the clearest examples of security, became more paramount.
And so you did see a shift in Israel from kind of the liberal Western place that it had been in the early 60s to something of a very different character.
And you also have a shift, of course, between Communities in Israel.
I mean, Israel is a patchwork of different immigrants from different countries.
And you have the religious, you have the non-religious, you have a town like Tel Aviv, which is Attractive to the kind of business community to what I would call ordinary city life, and then you have Jerusalem which remains a very religious city and full of conflict between Arab neighbors and itself.
Those internal issues within the fabric of Israeli society are one of the main focuses of Yad HaNadiv.
Can you mention just one or two of the projects that feel to you most significant?
Yes, we do a great deal of work on education, a great deal of academic work.
We keep going at Ramat Hanadiv, the garden where Baron Edmond was eventually buried.
We're on the point of building the new National Library of Israel.
Two unexpected ones, perhaps.
If you take the Orthodox community, it's important that they have employment.
And we're trying to develop programmes which it's possible for them to undertake.
Similarly, we have a problem with Arab unemployment and we set up jointly with the government employment centers to facilitate greater employment of Arabs within Israel.
And so we're an active foundation trying to help with these fissures in Israeli life and to do some good.
And we're sitting here Looking forward to the 100th anniversary of this significant letter, if I can just ask you to think about the next centennial, a hundred years time, and just maybe share some of your hopes, your aspirations about where Israel will be.
What does one hope for?
One of course hopes for a peaceful relationship with Israel's neighbours, and that's going to be the most difficult matter of all to achieve.
But even now you can see, with the disarray In the Middle East and the importance of relationships that Israel is developing not only with Jordan but also with Egypt and indeed with Saudi Arabia even if they're not publicized because of the Sunni Shiite war.
There's hope and I think if you take the need of Arab nations to have intelligence help and if on the other hand you take Compassion and generosity coming from Israel to Palestinian territories and its less fortunate neighbors.
There are grounds for optimism.
And I am an optimist.
Lord Rothschild, thank you very much indeed.
