Meaning & History

http://surnames.behindthename.com/name/rothschild

See the problem? I don't buy these "vast conspiracy theories" that are about a rich Jewish family. I think that is far too easy to invent and perpetuate among people who are easily manipulated. These same people believe everything they see on facebook.
( *gasp* you mean to tell me "child of wrath" is not what's disseminated to the public? ok)

It feeds into people's hatred of Jews and the rich.

(unfortunately, that does not explain the public quotations given by Rothschild men toward Lincoln, et al.



Oh yes...right. So you don't follow conspiracy theories eh? Look, Ive listened and followed conspiracy nuts that perpetuate that stuff. I used to be into it. But then I realized that a lot of stuff was just someone saying X is true. Anyone in American can say X is true without proving it.

I discovered a lot of them just quote each other. I discovered a lot of theories mix the true and known with the untrue and unknown so that people who are mentally minded to believe stuff like this will also believe the lies because they come mixed with the truth.

You say it was the Rothchilds. Some other conspiracy guy says it was the CIA or the MOB or the Cubans blah blah blah.

(yes; all of that is true. but i have assassinated presidents, 2 of them; quotes from newspapers of the day; Generals of the Army, the list goes on, to back me up. You will believe what you will believe--it does not matter. what matters is that your premises are revealed.)

All you are doing is regurgitating typical conspiracy slogans.

(how can satan be running the world sans conspiracy? but i was just tossing grenades, really. i honestly have no idea why Allied command would stop...Patton, was it? Right outside Berlin for 4 hours... arg)


Nothing can convince you otherwise.

there is a lot of assumptions going on

As far as banks "funding" wars.

The Rothchilds are a family who had branches in many places. Banks give loans.

(ya, to both sides. and not 'banks,' ok? they are just dupes, too.)

Think about this. Britain KNEW Mayer was helping them financially during the Napoleanic wars. Surely if he was also helping France THEY would know and that information would come out and the whole world would know...not just a handful of conspiracy buffs.

Further Britains would stop doing business by and large and he could be tried with treason.

(and yet, no Rothschild goes to prison; or even shows up on a Fobes 500 richest list. ok.)

And they are Jewish. (they are about as Jewish as you are, Prax)
God forgive a Jew has an opinion on zionism..but that is hardly a conspiracy

It's actually common knowledge, as was the fact that not EVERY Rothchild agreed with Zionism.

If I was super rich and supported a cause, I'd give money too. That's not a conspiracy

The US gives money to both Israel and Palestine.
(ya, weapons, too. lots of weapons.)

Here is an interesting quote from Wiki

"Baron Edmond James de Rothschild, youngest son of James Jacob de Rothschild, was a patron of the first settlement in Palestine at Rishon-LeZion, and bought from Ottoman landlords parts of the land which now makes up present-day Israel. In 1924, he established the Palestine Jewish Colonization Association (PICA), which acquired more than 125,000 acres (50,586 ha) of land and set up business ventures.[40] In Tel Aviv, there is a road, Rothschild Boulevard, named after him as well as various localities throughout Israel which he assisted in founding including Metulla, Zikhron Ya'akov, Rishon Lezion, and Rosh Pina. A park in Boulogne-Billancourt, Paris, the Parc Edmond de Rothschild (Edmond de Rothschild Park), is also named after its founder."

He BOUGHT that land from the Ottomans.

A little history might be necessary

That area belonged to Israel. Before that it belonged to various tribes of semitic, non-Israeli people. The Israelites marched in and took it

That has been going on since the dawn of creation. So all that time other tribes attacked Israel. They took land and Israel took it back

Fast forward. Big mean neighbors attack Israel. Take it's people away and move it's own people INTO the region.

A handful are left still in Israel to tend to the fields.

Big mean neighbor falls to another power. Israel is restored yet to a lessor glory of it's former self

This goes on and on. Finally they are occupied by Rome. Eventually Titus comes in and wipes out a ton of Jews in Jerusalem and destroys temple.

Jews are scattered once again and the area is called by Rome "Palestine"

Rome over extends itself and it's power is weakened so a new power comes in. The Muslims. The Muslims take Jerusalem and every other middle eastern nation. They force Islam and Arab language and culture on everyone

Story about Muhammed being taken up into the heavens where the DOR is at so they build a shrine. Ironically ISIS, the Islamic militant movement in Iraq, would destroy DOM if given the chance

Eventually the Ottoman empire becomes the regional power. It's their land according to them.

Power wanes of course and Egypt is in control of certain areas, Jordan of others and Syria of yet still others

And the cycle continues.

But here we have an interesting fact, if true, that much of that land belonged to Ottomans and a Jew paid money for it.

He didn't take it. It's his.

And this

"Interviewed by Haaretz in 2010, Baron Benjamin Rothschild, a Swiss-based member of the banking family, said that he supported the peace process: "I understand that it is a complicated business, mainly because of the fanatics and extremists – and I am talking about both sides. I think you have fanatics in Israel... In general I am not in contact with politicians. I spoke once with Netanyahu. I met once with an Israeli finance minister, but the less I mingle with politicians the better I feel." On the subject of religious identity, he stated that he held an open-minded attitude: "We do business with all kinds of countries, including Arab countries... My oldest daughter's boyfriend is a Saudi. He is a great guy and if she will want to marry him, she can"

Does that sound like a vast Rothchild conspiracy? Not to me. Fact is mixed with fiction. Class bias towards the rich fuels the fantasy.

Maybe there was class envy in the surrounding Arab conquered nations towards the Jews prosperity and the money donated.
ok, well, you convinced me, Prax--satan runs the world, but not really. that is all just fairytale. if he even exists. ok. um, what about those three places--the one most important to you (not me) might be your own capitol--that have their own common flag, which does not include you? very much. I would prefer you call me a liar, and then have your vision cleared, eby association, 10 years from now, than to be struck dumb when it matters, ok? Assume everything i have said is yack; and go find the truth, then--which cannot, by definition, be on the evening news. peace.

Do they really need those borders open then? If so why not just ask their fellow Muslims to open the Egyptian border so they can go in there and buy goods?

Everyone blames the Jews. How much money do other Arab nations give the Palestinians?

Hamas is there because they want to be as close to Israel as possible to attack them for any reason. They spend all that money to fund tunnels lined with concrete and rockets. Not shelters for the people.
wrong questions. premises revealed. get out of the world and you will no longer care about these answers.

What makes you believe Muslims are the spiritual descendents of Ishmael?

Especially when there was no Islam at his time?

BTW I ask again, what is my "POV"? You've referenced my POV yet you haven't told me what my POV is

They didn't have to be Muslims at the time. They can evolve into a religion. That's exactly what happened with Mohammad. After he garnered enough support, he started strong arming the people to conform.

That does not make them "Spiritual descendents" of Ishmael...does it?

Who authorized this view?

I don't know what it means either. Generally, the same people for generations live in the same area. If that is true, and it usually is, all of Ishmael's people are from Saudi Arabia. That makes them Arabs today and Muslim too boot.

I have no idea. I had always understood that Ishmael was an Arab. And so when I studied the genealogy, it proves to be true. I don't know how you can deny that. Ishmael died in the Arabian Peninsula. That is southern Saudi Arabia.

So, apparently, the people evolved into Muslims. Doesn't that mean that God was talking about them becoming a great nation if that is where Ishmael and his descendants lived and died?

Islam is a religion though that started long long after Ishmael was born. So I don't see how muslims (Most of who are not Arabs) are Ishmael's Spiritual descendents

They did not evolve into muslims. They chose or were forced INTO a new religion..

What does Muslims being spiritual descendents of Ismael have to do with Ishmael becoming a great nation?> Im confused

Seems genetics is being confused with religion
