From humble beginnings in the Frankfurt ghettos of the 1760s, Mayer Amschel Rothschild's rise to patriarch of a global banking empire is often overshadowed by enduring yet baseless antisemitic accusations that paint the Rothschild family as puppeteers behind world affairs. The Rothschild name has been synonymous with both financial innovation and conspiracy theories ranging from controlling global events to creating financial crises.

Despite their continued contributions to banking and philanthropy, the Rothschild heirs remain symbols of harmful Jewish stereotypes about wealth. In the digital age, these theories have not only persisted but have grown and been embellished upon online, shrouding the family’s legacy in continued controversy.

About Explainers: From ancient Jewish traditions to the modern State of Israel, we explain it all. Diving into anything and everything related to Jewish culture, history, and even religion.
Understand Jewish holidays, Israeli politics, Jewish diasporic communities, and more. Learn about Judaism in pop culture, debunking myths about Jews, and explore obscure Israeli landmarks. We’re asking questions as basic as “What is the Talmud?”, and as obscure as “How did hip-hop boost Kosher wine sales?”, and everything in between.

About Unpacked: We provide nuanced insights by unpacking all things Jewish. People are complex and complicated — yet we’re constantly being pushed to oversimplify our world. At Unpacked we know that being complex makes us more interesting. Because of this, we break the world down with nuance and insight to drive your curiosity and challenge your thinking.

    As a child of Chinese immigrants to North America I can relate to how discrimination limits one's career choices. If you want to survive you had to make the best of things.

    But we literally did develop a space laser that heats up rockets before they hit us.
  • @jonl3696
    Apparently, Israel also has the power to control weather that could bring choppers down. 🙂
  • @BUJ212
    Please make a video on how people took "Zionism" out of context nowadays.
  • @cooper60
    I see how he slipped in the word theoretically 👀
  • @vanhetgoor
    One thing was not in this movie, the name of the Rotschild family before Mayer Amshel became jewish and that is strange because the resason why he converted to judaism was mentioned, the money lending.

    US Navy using lasers on Ships but there is no way space lasers are things.... right
  • @natto84
    Great video, thanks! I’ve always wondered where this conspiracy came from
  • @EdHelwig
    It's called pilots lacking IFR refresher training trying to SCUD run under the clouds in bad weather. Gravity still works no matter how big your ego is.
  • @bozeeke
    Of course there's a Jewish conspiracy. People from that religious background make up 2% of the world's population yet are a much more substantial minority among wealthy elites who are in positions of power and dictate policy to governments that ultimately control the average citizen's life. And on top of that baked into that policy in most western societies is the idea that you can't criticize them as a group, can't point out how wealthy and powerful they are for a group that size and any criticism of bad foreign policy that benefits Israel is supposedly anti-Semitic.
  • @IandThou-wt2ui
    I wonder why Unpacked decided to spend so much time publishing and sensationalizing all this trash all over again. I do not think it will ever go away but why does Unpacked think it prudent to pack so much into a single episode. I done not enjoy watching this at all. I can watch the news if I want to see this.
  • @waisinglee1509
    At 06:00, that is not market manipulation and that is not insider trading. Whoever thinks so has no idea about the markets.
  • @Njoofene
    We the Seereer people of West Africa who practise Seereer spirituality love the Jewish people and the State of Israel. Keep up the good work guys and don't let hateful antisemitic people dim your light.
