 WHAT IS THIS CARNAGE REALLY ALL ABOUT ... ? - Looking Glass News
The Rothschilds funded the early European settlers in Israel, manipulated events in Germany that led to the horrific treatment of Jewish people and others, and then used that as the excuse to reach their long-term goal - a Rothschild-Illuminati stronghold in Palestine using the Jewish population as fodder to be used and abused as necessary.
The Rothschilds exploited as their 'justification' to seize Palestine the claim in the Old Testament that the Jews were God's Chosen People and that 'He' had gifted them the land of what was once called Israel.
The lands that the Rothschilds and their agents wished to occupy were populated at the time by the Arabs or Palestinians, but there was always going to be but one fate for them.

Just for your information, the Baron De Rothschild was French, so his "investments" - official or not - cannot be considered as part of the British colonialism projects.

I believe that the Yiddish version also refers to “Rothschild”.
