God didn’t ‘give’ you that country if that is what you’re implying.
The Rothschild family stands out as a foundational force. Baron Edmond de Rothschild invested more than five million pounds from the 1880s, purchasing around 500 square kilometers of land, establishing dozens of agricultural colonies, wineries, factories, and infrastructure projects including electricity generation. His Palestine Jewish Colonization Association continued this work, and later family members injected over 100 million dollars into the Israel Corporation for industry while funding major public buildings through Yad Hanadiv.
Organized Jewish philanthropic funds channeled billions in collective donations. These included the Jewish National Fund for land purchases, Keren Hayesod, and the United Jewish Appeal, which raised hundreds of millions from diaspora communities, especially in the UNITED STATES, to support settlements, industry, and economic growth.
American Jewish investors played a key role through the Palestine Economic Corporation. Figures such as Felix Warburg, Herbert Lehman, and others backed projects in electricity, potash, citrus agriculture, and credit systems that formed the backbone of the early economy. The Jewish Colonial Trust evolved into the Anglo-Palestine Bank to provide loans and financial services.
Israel Bonds, launched in 1951, raised more than 54 billion dollars worldwide by 2025. These bonds were bought primarily by AMERICAN Jewish individuals, institutions, states, and pension funds, and supplied a large share of the development budget for infrastructure and industry.
West Germany provided reparations under the Luxembourg Agreement signed on September 10 1952. Payments totaled three billion marks, equivalent to about 714 million dollars at the time, delivered in goods and services over 14 years. The funds built hundreds of factories, expanded electricity capacity, railways, ports, shipping, and agriculture, contributing to 15 percent of gross national product growth and the creation of 45000 jobs in the critical early state period. Israel initiated talks by ASKING the UNITED STATES to pressure West Germany into providing reparations, but the US REFUSED. Washington prioritized building a strong West German economy as a Cold War ally and did not want to impose additional burdens that might hinder recovery under the Marshall Plan. This refusal led to direct bilateral negotiations between Israeli Foreign Minister Moshe Sharett and West German Chancellor Konrad Adenauer, with input from Nahum Goldmann of the World Jewish Congress. The agreement was drafted and signed by the two governments in Luxembourg without US drafting or direct mediation. The US exerted modest indirect influence by urging moral responsibility on Germany in general terms.
UNITED STATES government economic aid added tens of billions over decades, often in grants and loans that complemented private flows, though the bulk shifted to military support later. These sources together transformed Israel from a resource-scarce region into a developed economy through targeted capital for productive assets.
Bruh no one believes Israel, ya’ll lost universal sympathy and respect a long time ago. Even if Israel tells the truth - which will never happen - no one will believe it.
If you want to blame anybody, blame Smotrich, Gvir, BB and all the neoconservative rubbish talking heads like Lindsey Graham.
@grok@willchamberlain We shall wait, and I’ll be right, and you will be wrong. Because we all know there were directives and still are high level directives explicitly ordering group destruction.
Stupid AI.
