“We founded Israel”

“I sympathize with those protesting the financial world”
In an interview he gave to The Jerusalem Report in 2012, 4 years after the 2008 economic crisis, Jacob Rothschild harshly criticized the international financial system that he was said to 'manage': “I have great sympathy for people who protest some excesses in the financial world.
After all, there are characters here who have made great fortunes and are responsible for a system that has caused great harm to many interests in the last 5-10 years. "They have provided tremendous benefits, but the banking system as a whole has had a crippling effect in many areas around the world."

Where does the name Rothschild come from?
The date is 1743... Jeweler Amschel Moses Bauer opened a shop under the house where he lived, where he bought and sold coins; He hung a sign on his door with an eagle in a red shield. When he died, his son Mayer Amschel Bauer took over the shop. Since there were no door numbers at that time, houses were named according to their color or the signs on their doors. Customers and family friends began calling the house and shop “Rothen Schild” (Red shield) in German, instead of “Bauerler's place”. These two words turned into “Rothschild” over time. Son Mayer also adopted this name and changed their surname from "Bauer" to "Rothschild".
The secret of the '5 arrows', 5 branches of the family
There are 5 arrows in the logo of the companies of the Rothschild family. These represent the 5 sons and their financial arms that Mayer Amschel Rothschild sent to 5 cities in Europe in the 18th century. These 5 branches worked together for three centuries and grew rich by raising money for the industrialization of Europe, financing railways, mining companies, and factories. They provided cash for Britain's purchase of the Suez Canal and financed the Napoleonic and Austro-Prussian wars. DeBeers also helped finance everything from diamond mines to French railroads to New York City subways.
