🇮🇱🇺🇸 Estimating the actual cost of America's support for Israel I asked Grok to account for the cost of all direct aid, plus money spent on securing peace with Israel's regional neighbours, and any other costs of support that can be measured. Noting that Israel has been the largest cumulative recipient of U.S. foreign aid since its founding in 1948, Grok cites the Congressional Research Service (CRS) to show the U.S. has provided Israel with over $310 billion in direct aid (adjusted for inflation) since 1948. This is about $225 billion in military aid, and $80 billion in economic aid. Since the onset of the Israel-Hamas conflict on October 7, 2023, the U.S. has significantly increased military aid. Grok finds an estimate from A Brown University report, putting the figure to at least $17.9 billion in military aid from October 7, 2023, to late 2024. Additionally, the current MOU (2019–2028) commits the U.S. to $3.8 billion annually, totaling $38 billion over the decade, with $5 billion earmarked for missile defense programs. But this is just direct aid. The U.S. has also invested heavily in regional stability to support Israel’s security, often tied to peace agreements with neighboring countries. These costs are difficult to measure, and so the numbers Grok generates here are just the most conservative estimate. The best example is Egypt. Following the 1979 Camp David Accords, the U.S. pledged significant aid to Egypt to secure peace with Israel. From 1948 to 2022, Egypt received approximately $85 billion (inflation-adjusted), with about $56 billion in military aid and $29 billion in economic aid. In 2019, Egypt received $1.4 billion as part of a broader Middle East aid package of $3.1 billion intended to secure regional stability for Israel. Grok concludes that conservatively, the U.S. has spent over $120 billion (inflation-adjusted) since 1948 on Egypt, Jordan, and other neighbours to secure peace agreements and stability benefiting Israel, and notes that this figure excludes broader diplomatic or military operation costs. But there are yet more costs: - Since October 7, 2023, the U.S. has spent at least $4.86 billion on enhanced military operations in the Middle East, including deploying aircraft carriers, fighter squadrons, and the THAAD missile defense system to deter Iran and its proxies (e.g., Houthis, Hezbollah). This figure, from Brown University, covers operations through late 2024 and excludes costs post-Lebanon escalation in September 2024. - Historical operations (e.g., post-1973 Yom Kippur War) add unquantified billions, but no precise total exists. - Loan Guarantees and Forgiven Loans: The U.S. has provided over $24 billion in loan guarantees since 1992 (e.g., $9 billion in 2003 for economic recovery), not counted as direct aid since no funds are transferred unless default occurs. Historically, some military loans (pre-1984) were forgiven, adding to the $225 billion military aid total. This gives Grok the following calculations: Direct Aid: $310 billion (1948–2023) + $17.9 billion (2023–2024) + $3.8 billion (2025 annualized) ≈ $331.7 billion. Regional Peace Costs: ~$120 billion (Egypt, Jordan, others since 1948). Other Support Costs: $4.86 billion (operations since 2023) + $10 billion (missile defense pre-2023) + unquantified historical operations ≈ $15–20 billion (conservative estimate, excluding unmeasured costs). Grand Total: Approximately $466.7–471.7 billion (inflation-adjusted to 2023 dollars, with some 2024–2025 costs in nominal terms). This figure could rise with ongoing conflicts and untracked expenses (e.g., intelligence, pre-2023 operations). So Grok gives us a figure of almost half a trillion dollars in measurable costs. There is much we can't account for, like the cost of isolating and sanctioning countries like Iran and other opportunity costs geopolitically. Grok gives me an estimate of $452–$955 billion for the total cost of isolating and sanctioning Iran, but I will omit this figure since people can quibble about the degree to which America's adversarial stance to Iran is because of Israel (I would argue almost entirely.) But keep that figure in mind. But lastly, in my opinion we must also include the costs of the Iraq War. There is no doubt the Iraq War would not have happened if not for the influence of Israel-first Zionists. The chief architects of the Iraq War — Douglas Feith, Richard Perle, David Wurmser, Paul Wolfowitz, Abram Shulsky — were hawkish Jewish Zionists, with some of the aforementioned involved in drafting the "Clean Break memo" for Benjamin Netanyahu, which called for an overthrow of the Saddam regime. The Jewish-led Office of Special Plans, created by Wolfowitz and Feith, created the fake intelligence used to justify the war. Additionally, the sociologist James Petras has documented that the Jewish lobby was the most influential force behind pushing for the Iraq War, finding over 2,000 statements, press releases, conferences, op-eds etc. from the Jewish lobby which helped push America's leadership into supporting regime change in Iraq, a long-time goal of Israeli foreign policy. The Nobel Prize winning economist Joseph Stiglitz has estimated the cost of the Iraq War to be $3 trillion, and even more conservative estimates still put it at around $2 trillion. So in conclusion, the answer to the question "what has American support for Israel cost America?" is at least half a trillion dollars. But including the greatest case of American blood and treasure spilled for Israeli interests — The Iraq War — the figure we are left with is $3.5 trillion. Or, just over $10,000 for every man, woman and child in the U.S.. And, if we include the costs of isolating Iran because of its hostility to Israel, the number would rise to well over $4 trillion.

@KeithWoodsYT - Keith Woods
2/12 This relationship first became known when it was revealed that Israel was providing medical aid to anti-Assad fighters Israel portrayed this as a principled humanitarian response but it turned out most was given to fighters from Al-Nusra front, the Syrian branch of Al-Qaeda
@KeithWoodsYT - Keith Woods
3/12 A former head of Mossad acknowledged this was motivated by a "tactical consideration" as Israel was “not specifically targeted by Al-Qaeda”
@KeithWoodsYT - Keith Woods
4/12 But Israeli support went well beyond medical aid: Foreign Policy magazine reported that Israel had funded “at least 12 rebel groups in southern Syria”, as well as providing machine guns, mortar launchers and vehicles, and even paying the salaries of Jihadis

2/15 After WWII a paramilitary group of 50 Jews nicknamed "the avengers" had a failed plot to kill 6 million German civilians by poisoning the German water supplies The leader of the plot, Abba Kovner, was awarded the Israel Prize in 1970, the country's highest cultural honour https://t.co/VCjlw2zAAy
@KeithWoodsYT - Keith Woods
3/15 Once Jews began to settle Palestine in the early 20th Century, terrorism soon followed. Haganah was formed in 1920 Out of this came two more radical Zionist paramilitaries: Irgun (est. 1931) and Lehi or "the Stern Gang" (est. 1940) https://t.co/pDa6VgfK7Z

@KeithWoodsYT - Keith Woods
13/15 Jewish groups like Haganah and Begin's Irgun continued regular offensives into Arab settlements after the 1948 Arab-Israli war, with terrorism, r*pe, and indisciminate killing use to enforce a state of terror Fearing more events like Deir Yassin, hundreds of thousands fled https://t.co/yQQ28Qxdl9

🚨🇺🇸🇮🇱 TRUMP CALLS ON ISRAEL TO END WAR ~ SAYS ANTISEMITISM IS CAUSED BY ISRAELI BEHAVIOUR In Trump's first interview dedicated to the Gaza war, Trump called on Israel to "finish up" the war in Gaza because it is "losing a lot of the world" When asked how he would deal with the "wave of antisemitism" since the start of the war, Trump seemed to blame Israel's own behaviour: "Well, that's because you fought back. And I think Israel made a very big mistake. I wanted to call [Israel] and say don't do it. These photos and shots. I mean, moving shots of bombs being dropped into buildings in Gaza ... Go and do what you have to do. But you don't do that. And I think that's one of the reasons that there has been a lot of kickback. If people didn't see that, every single night I've watched every single one of those." Even Trump, one of the most Zionist presidents ever, is apparently disgusted by the footage coming out of Gaza. Keep in mind that according to the Jewish lobby, and the IHRA definition of antisemitism now passed as law in multiple states, saying antisemitism can ever be caused by Jewish behaviour is itself antisemitic. Trump also spoke positively about the enormous influence of the Israel lobby, but warned their reputation is now "in ruin": "Some 15 years ago, Israel had the strongest lobby. If you were a politician, you couldn't say anything bad about Israel, that would be like the end of your political career ... Israel has to get better with the promotional and with the public relations, because right now they're in ruin."

3/13 Dispensationalists believe that the nation of Israel is distinct from the Christian Church, and that God has yet to fulfil his promises to the national Israel. Adherents believe the foundation of the state of Israel in 1948 was a necessary fulfilment of prophecy. https://t.co/vzmKl0r4al
@KeithWoodsYT - Keith Woods
4/13 These beliefs are very foreign to traditional Christianity - the church fathers viewed the church itself as the New Israel. Dispensationalists disregard tradition and take a literalist reading of scripture, viewing the church as a temporary insert into the flow of history. https://t.co/BreGSvqAcc
@KeithWoodsYT - Keith Woods
5/13 How did this literalist reading of the bible become so prevalent in the US? This is mostly thanks to C.I. Scofield, author of the Scofield Reference Bible of 1909. His notes induced generations of American evangelicals to believe God demanded their support for Zionism. https://t.co/vm2unxfBnq
@KeithWoodsYT - Keith Woods
6/13 Intro'ing his Bible, Scofield claimed the degree of Doctor of Divinity, though no seminary in America that claimed him as a student Central to Christian Zionist belief is Scofield’s commentary on Genesis, which is said to have a command by God to serve the nation of Israel. https://t.co/l0d43uAL6w
@KeithWoodsYT - Keith Woods
7/13 One scholar called the Scofield Bible "Perhaps the most influential single work thrust into the religious life of America during the twentieth century." But how did one born-again Christian with little qualification have such a huge impact? https://t.co/MuyEXnkSg0
@KeithWoodsYT - Keith Woods
8/13 In the biography The Incredible Scofield and His Book, the author writes “The admission of Scofield to the Lotus Club, which could not have been sought by Scofield, strengthens the suspicion that has cropped up before, that someone was directing the career of C.I. Scofield.” https://t.co/i7CVxxiGcm
@KeithWoodsYT - Keith Woods
9/13 That someone, it is suggested, was the Wall Street lawyer Samuel Untermeyer. Scofield’s theology was “most helpful in getting Fundamentalist Christians to back the international interest in one of Untermeyer’s pet projects—the Zionist Movement.” https://t.co/mmRe3DawSM
@KeithWoodsYT - Keith Woods
10/13 Samuel Untermeyer was a wealthy Jewish lawyer and Zionist. Untermeyer funded the creation of the Jewish Theological Seminary, was president of Keren Hayesod - the leading Zionist organisation in America at the time, and was Vice-President of the American Jewish Congress. https://t.co/VhIxBnOaKw
@KeithWoodsYT - Keith Woods
11/13 In 'Unjust War Theory: Christian Zionism and the Road to Jerusalem' Prof. David W. Lutz writes: “Untermeyer used Scofield, a Kansas City lawyer with no formal training in theology, to inject Zionist ideas into American Protestantism." https://t.co/nksqCn5C3y
@KeithWoodsYT - Keith Woods
12/13 "Untermeyer and other wealthy and influential Zionists whom he introduced to Scofield promoted and funded the latter’s career, including travel in Europe.” While in England, Scofield met the head of Oxford University Press, who became enthusiastic about the project. https://t.co/Dx0GZ06wHC
@KeithWoodsYT - Keith Woods
13/13 If not for the Scofield Bible, US Presidents influenced by Christian Zionism might have been more willing to put their country's interests above Israel, and more American Christians would take a critical look at a state where Christians currently face intense persecution. https://t.co/dkoCBqHuSH

🧵 A look at slavery outside of the West: It has become popular to blame White people for slavery, to the point that many actually believe slavery was invented by or exclusively practiced by Europeans. But the history of slavery outside the West is far more brutal. 1/15 https://t.co/cJzJzuFl1J
@KeithWoodsYT - Keith Woods
2/15 The Arab slave trade emerged in the 7th century, 10 centuries before the Atlantic slave trade Arabs sold Africans to the Middle East for a variety of jobs such as domestic work or harem guards - castrating male slaves was common, causing over half of males to bleed to death https://t.co/k1cKECM652
@KeithWoodsYT - Keith Woods
3/15 The Arab slave trade was particularly brutal: it's estimated that 3/4 captured slaves died before they reached the market for sale Historians estimate that between 10 and 18 million people were enslaved by Arab slave traders, including women and children taken as concubines https://t.co/2yCSatEC7Q
@KeithWoodsYT - Keith Woods
4/15 Arabs did not create the slave trade out of nothing, in fact, enslaving conquered tribes was already common practice in Central Africa when they arrived. The West African Songhai Empire relied heavily on captured slaves in all levels of society, even as soldiers. https://t.co/Hy9bQr0hwP
@KeithWoodsYT - Keith Woods
5/15 Africans themselves also played a large role in facilitating the trans-Atlantic slave trade. African tribes conducted raids on rival groups to provide slaves for sale. African middlemen facilitated trade between European traders and African suppliers. https://t.co/KyhubXqyvl
@KeithWoodsYT - Keith Woods
6/15 The Arabs also had a slave trade in Europe. Estimates are that up to 1.25 million Europeans were enslaved by Barbary pirates, who would raid villages in coastal countries like Italy, France, England and Ireland, bringing them to North Africa for sale. https://t.co/ix4u5GMWzv
@KeithWoodsYT - Keith Woods
7/15 In some cases entire villages would be captured, such as the Irish coastal village of Baltimore, entirely raided in 1631. These slaves faced a brutal future, engaging in hard labour or sexual servitude, and spending nights hot and overcrowded prisons called bagnios. https://t.co/6oZc3TZdq2
@KeithWoodsYT - Keith Woods
8/15 Many slaves captured by Barbary pirates were sold eastwards into the Ottoman Empire. Slavery was central to the Ottoman Empire, most towns had dedicated slavery markets called Yesirs. Slaves came from Africa, the Caucasus, the Balkans and Eastern & Southern Europe. https://t.co/VZsEysB1ML
@KeithWoodsYT - Keith Woods
9/15 Sexual slavery was a big part of Ottoman society. Slavic women were popular slaves, and Köçeks became a popular source of entertainment in the 19th century: These were young boys, usually from European backgrounds, who were circumcised, cross-dressed and trained as dancers. https://t.co/iWdvY4euFs
@KeithWoodsYT - Keith Woods
10/15 Hereditrary slavery is recorded in China dating back to the Xia Dynasty in 2100 BC. Africans purchased on the Silk Road were used as a sign of wealth.

12/15 Slavery was common in American civilizations like the Aztec and Maya Among the Aztecs, slavery was a punishment for a variety of crimes or even failure to pay taxes. Husbands and wives sold each other in times of economic hardship. Slaves were identified by wooden collars. https://t.co/kD7zseYyQw
@KeithWoodsYT - Keith Woods
13/15 Slavery was also common practice in the civilizations of South-East Asia. The Khmer Empire had a massive slave class that did much of the work building monuments like Angkor Wat. Historians estimate 25-35% of the population of Thailand/Burma were slaves in the 17th century https://t.co/1pQOraUDe3
@KeithWoodsYT - Keith Woods
14/15 Slavery also existed among Native American tribes. Slavery was common practice among Northwest tribes like the Tlingit, for whom one third of their population during the mid-1800s were slaves. Various tribes practiced debt-slavery and enslaved captives of other tribes. https://t.co/VRpBhKS2G2
@KeithWoodsYT - Keith Woods
15/15 The only difference between these cases of slavery and that practiced by Europeans is that Europeans abolished slavery on humanitarian grounds, and spread this across the globe.

Karl Popper | The Philosopher of Modern Liberalism Probably no political philosopher's vision of things more definitively won out in the latter half of the 20th century than Karl Popper. Popper, not Marx, is the philosopher of the modern left. Let's find out why. 1/25 🧵 https://t.co/sMoFXHg6tq
@KeithWoodsYT - Keith Woods
2/25 Karl Popper was born into a Viennese Jewish family that converted to Lutheranism. Fearing his position as a Jew in post-Anschluss Austria, Popper moved to lecture in New Zealand in 1937. In 1946, he moved to the UK to join the London School of Economics https://t.co/ndWmMDFelE
@KeithWoodsYT - Keith Woods
3/25 Popper's greatest contributions were to Philosophy of Science. At first influenced by positivism, he rejected their principle of verification, and popularised the principle of falsifiability - generalisations are only useful for science if they can in principle be falsified. https://t.co/fEOj7wr8QN
@KeithWoodsYT - Keith Woods
4/25 While WW2 was raging, Popper wrote The Open Society and Its Enemies (which inspired George Soros' Open Society Foundation). The book was an attempt to diagnose what had led to the barbarism the world was witness to. Popper's diagnosis was that civilization faced a choice: https://t.co/KGISdMqQ6B
@KeithWoodsYT - Keith Woods
5/25 Humanity could choose a "closed society", characterised by tribalism and the subordination of the individual to the collective will, or enlightened men could instead choose "the open society". In Popper's mind, the fate of civilization depended on the latter. https://t.co/ww53Hn0BIz
@KeithWoodsYT - Keith Woods
6/25 Although the book itself is quite academic, it had a profound influence due to its simple moral axiom which would capture the mood of the post-war West - Never Again: https://t.co/Dq1eMjtZAi
@KeithWoodsYT - Keith Woods
7/25 "The imperative is bracingly simple: Never again. Never again shall we allow totalitarian governments to emerge. Never again shall societies reach a fever pitch of ideological fanaticism. Never again shall the furnaces of Auschwitz consume their victims." - R. R. Reno https://t.co/v8oHMQd1bS
@KeithWoodsYT - Keith Woods
8/25 Embracing the ideal of openness requires us to critically deconstruct "the strong gods" of the closed society: the nation, the family, religion, totalitarian ideologies like fascism and communism that subjugate the freedom of the individual to a collective project. https://t.co/rJ9PK9gCJ8
@KeithWoodsYT - Keith Woods
9/25 Even the philosophical father of Western Philosophy - Plato - comes under attack from Popper. Plato's ideal of an organic society allowed him to justify extreme totalitarianism of Philosopher Kings. Plato laid the foundation for a totalitarian tendency in Western thinking. https://t.co/MLVwxZ9HV1
@KeithWoodsYT - Keith Woods
10/25 Popper wrote that the Noble Lie, the foundation myth of Plato’s Republic, was “an exact counterpart” to “the modern myth of Blood and Soil.” https://t.co/TzsvxOzHtw
@KeithWoodsYT - Keith Woods
11/25 As well as diagnosing the intellectual tradition of the closed society, Popper offers a psychological diagnosis. People resort to collectivism and atavistic impulses because critical thinking is difficult, freedom requires an ongoing strain and vigilance easy to reject. https://t.co/jNBzm0LU4L
@KeithWoodsYT - Keith Woods
12/25 At the same time, Frankfurt school Marxo-Freudians were writing screeds on the psychological appeal of totalitarianism to the weak. Fromm wrote of the soothing "escape from freedom offered by National Socialism. Adorno diagnoses the roots of "The Authoritarian Personality" https://t.co/H2jhrNl8lj
@KeithWoodsYT - Keith Woods
13/25 But Popper takes his attack on the foundation of Western Philosophy deeper than politics. The metaphysical projects of Plato and Aristotle themselves also contain the seeds of totalitarianism. This is because of a tendency Popper terms "essentialism". https://t.co/2SAFkmytkc
@KeithWoodsYT - Keith Woods
14/25 Essentialism is the idea that reality consists of ultimate essences and we ought to explain reality in terms of ultimate essences. This is exemplified in Plato's theory of the forms - where the world of flux is seen to be the instantiation of eternal archetypes of forms. https://t.co/xHrZDKBsl2
@KeithWoodsYT - Keith Woods
15/25 If philosophers can know the essence of things, they can know the truth. And if they have the privileged position of knowing the truth, they can justify totalitarianism. This essentialism leads to another tendency Popper opposed: historicism. https://t.co/m9Ilz5GDda
@KeithWoodsYT - Keith Woods
16/25 Historicism is the view that history is governed by set laws, with a necessary direction or end-point. Plato, believing there was a form of the perfect city, instantiated a peculiar political science which aimed to arrest the cyclical process of decay of the ideal city. https://t.co/qF5PaCsGcC
@KeithWoodsYT - Keith Woods
17/25 And so Popper traces the intellectual tendency towards political totalitarianism right back to the foundations of Western civilization in Greek thought: the totalitarian attempt to know an objective truth of things, to grasp the essences of reality. https://t.co/QhR1WqnbjF
@KeithWoodsYT - Keith Woods
18/25 "Popper sees any form of transcendence as implicitly totalitarian. The recognition of something higher than the individual sets up a suprapersonal authority. If I can know what it means to be human, then I have a standard by which to judge individual behavior." - R. R. Reno https://t.co/td5UrBR5lT
@KeithWoodsYT - Keith Woods
19/25 Also dangerous in this regard are the theories of historical development advocated by Hegel and Marx. In place of this, Popper advocates nominalism in epistemology and piecemeal social engineering, focusing on remedying specific social issues and injustices. https://t.co/HbdA8wPcFX
@KeithWoodsYT - Keith Woods
20/25 But the key to social progress must be the restriction of truth-claims to those that are falsifiable. We must discard the strong gods of metaphysics, faith, nation, and abstractions like the ideal society. https://t.co/srgHLvEfuV
@KeithWoodsYT - Keith Woods
21/25 In this regard Popper anticipates later liberal thinkers like Rawls, who advocate organising society on the basis of rights rather some overarching conception of the good which requires metaphysical justification. Politics should be scientific rather than metaphysical. https://t.co/sOOl9JrLXu
@KeithWoodsYT - Keith Woods
22/25 Although Popper's political philosophy leaves a gap of meaning, there is an implicit Manichean battle to come between the tolerant defenders of openness and the ignorant, unenlightened mass who will feel the pull of forces like nationalism again. https://t.co/MKADbjISAr
@KeithWoodsYT - Keith Woods
23/25 The 20th century proved that the final result of the latter tendency is Auschwitz. From now on the guiding impulse of every enlightened person must be "never again". This realisation brings with it Popper's famous Paradox of Tolerance: https://t.co/57rn8zzzAj
@KeithWoodsYT - Keith Woods
24/25 "If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them." https://t.co/VlG5m5EeEx
@KeithWoodsYT - Keith Woods
25/25 Popper's paradox allows liberals to justify the greatest repression of anyone declared an enemy of the open society: Nazis, Christian Nationalists, racists, transphobes. The Manichean struggle for openness reaches the point of total war against the bigoted and backward. https://t.co/oZB13ofVK8

The End of Race: We have all heard the statement "we're all one race, the human race". Yet just a century ago the existence of distinct biological races was taken for granted. How did our perception of race change so drastically? 1/20 🧵 https://t.co/w2Vn1MTvzw
@KeithWoodsYT - Keith Woods
2/20 Racial anthropology emerged as a distinct field of study in the 19th century. By the late 19th C. and into the early 20th C. more genetic determinist accounts of race had begun to dominate the academy, alongside the rise of Social Darwinism and the eugenics movement. https://t.co/UkaEoTZiBa
@KeithWoodsYT - Keith Woods
3/20 By the 1920s and 30s, things began to move in a more environmentalist direction, largely due to the influential work of the anthropologist Franz Boas and his students. https://t.co/ksilAgvykg
@KeithWoodsYT - Keith Woods
4/20 Boas was a German Jewish immigrant to the United States. Boas was a left-liberal, heavily influenced by his experience of anti-Semitism in his early life. He said it was the greatest disappointment of his life when he witnessed the nationalism that the Great War brought. https://t.co/7ighOr4ZeN

6/20 Boas would train a generation of anthropologists that would dominate the newly emergent field of anthropology: “Much of twentieth-century American anthropology may be viewed as the working out of various implications in Boas’s own position.” - George W. Stocking https://t.co/IKUuTqrnNw
@KeithWoodsYT - Keith Woods
7/20 For Boas, conventional approaches to the study of race were supremacist, imposing false ideas like “civilised” and “barbarian” on human groupings. Instead, study of other cultures should instead show the arbitrariness of our own values, and lead to an embrace of relativism. https://t.co/EGvaiBkH5O

@KeithWoodsYT - Keith Woods
10/20 Montagu's 1942 work Man's Most Dangerous Myth: the Fallacy of Race, which was based on his dissertation, attacked the biological basis for race and deconstructed the concept as one which developed in the 18th century as a response to slavery and colonialism. https://t.co/dobeJJn7cE

@KeithWoodsYT - Keith Woods
12/20 In response to the racialism at the center of National Socialist ideology, UNESCO convened a panel to produce a series of expert statements on race and offer a definitive condemnation of racism both morally and scientifically. The panel, chaired by Montagu, consisted of: https://t.co/lNjUnbqhVz
@KeithWoodsYT - Keith Woods
13/20 "A team of ten scientists all of whom were recruited from the marginal group of anthropologists, sociologists and ethnographers affiliated with the scientifically marginalized groups of cultural anthropologists that were mostly students of Franz Boas" -Poul Duedahl https://t.co/XBgEipgX0p
@KeithWoodsYT - Keith Woods
14/20 The final statement declared the controversial beliefs of the cultural determinists who made up the panel to be scientific fact. Underlying this historic statement was “widespread revulsion at the Jewish Holocaust.” -David Cannadine, The Undivided Past https://t.co/hmQ15n2wZF
@KeithWoodsYT - Keith Woods
15/20 When The Statement On Race was first published in 1950, it was accompanied by a Press Release which stated “No biological justification for race discrimination, say world scientists: Most authoritative statement on the subject.” https://t.co/oadQf97t77
@KeithWoodsYT - Keith Woods
16/20 Upon the release of the statement, the New York Times responded with a headline proclaiming: “No Scientific Basis for Race Bias Found by World Panel of Experts.” https://t.co/8t4XLblMYG
@KeithWoodsYT - Keith Woods
17/20 The statement gave scientific credibility to the claims of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and formed the basis for several future UN conventions aimed at targeting racism. It has been described as “the triumph of Boasian anthropology on a world-historical scale” https://t.co/K3SGiKSMo4
@KeithWoodsYT - Keith Woods
18/20 It was called upon for the 1954 Brown v. Board of Education which outlawed segregation in public schools, where UNESCO’s work was treated as the most up to date scientific consensus on race, and cited as influential in the final ruling by the Chief Justice. https://t.co/au2OBNNA0U
@KeithWoodsYT - Keith Woods
19/20 “All of a sudden social scientists had become social engineers.

@KeithWoodsYT - Keith Woods
20/20 The work of many of Boas's students, such as Margaret Mead, was later roundly refuted by other anthropologists as ideologically motivated. Yet despite their hostile reception among other academics, the Boasian cultural anthropologists won the 20th Century. https://t.co/DhHp0AHALj
@KeithWoodsYT - Keith Woods
It is difficult to overstate how much everything since 1945 is shaped by the spectre of the Holocaust. The period since is the story of the religious underpinning of the West shifting from Christianity to a new foundation built on a single commandment: "never again": 1/25 🧵 https://t.co/1R1bffqSQ0

@KeithWoodsYT - Keith Woods
3/25 George Soros was Popper's student at the London School of Economics, and named his Open Society Institute after Popper's book. Soros' entire project is devoted to using civil society networks to enshrine pluralism and wither away the intolerant forces of "populism" https://t.co/xr02XzB7tm
@KeithWoodsYT - Keith Woods
4/25 Post-war liberalism moved in the direction Popper desired. A liberalism based on natural rights shifted to one focused on empiricism, consensus, progressive social engineering, and a distrust of "the strong gods" or any metaphysical input in the political. https://t.co/CokDwbZad2
@KeithWoodsYT - Keith Woods
5/25 Another influential book in forming the post-war liberal consensus was Friedrich Hayek's The Road to Serfdom. It was Hayek who got Popper a publisher for his book, seeing him as a useful ally in his own libertarian, anti-ideological approach to politics. https://t.co/4iRz68n4t2
@KeithWoodsYT - Keith Woods
6/25 Hayek was also motivated by identifying the roots of fascism, but rather than attacking the roots of Western philosophy, his focus is on collectivism. It is the socialists, national or international, with their lie of a "common good" who are responsible for totalitarianism https://t.co/qiNaSPjJNJ
@KeithWoodsYT - Keith Woods
7/25 The social planners of the post-war world would set about removing once and for all the roots of the closed society which had led to the horrors of the war. First to go had to be the biological basis for race which was central to Nazism. See thread: https://t.co/LGYZ6JVWvy
@KeithWoodsYT - Keith Woods
8/25 A related strong God - Nationalism - also had to be dismantled. Whereas Nationalism had once been seen as a natural phenomenon, and "nation" was identified with a distinct ethnic group or race, academic studies of Nationalism now began to deconstruct it along Marxist lines. https://t.co/88BcPF1wdL
@KeithWoodsYT - Keith Woods
9/25 Many of the most influential theorists of "modernism", which deconstructs Nationalism as a modern kind of false consciousness created by elites, had a deep distrust of Nationalism motivated by the events of the war. The Israeli historian Azar Gat writes the following: https://t.co/RNs2kxxGIi
@KeithWoodsYT - Keith Woods
10/25 But while the vision outlined by Hayek and Popper was more negative and moderate: piecemeal liberal social engineering or a night watchman state, academics from the left stepped in to provide a more radical anti-fascist critique which would shape generations of radicals. https://t.co/3KciCQRsnR
@KeithWoodsYT - Keith Woods
11/25 Most influential in this regard is the Frankfurt School. A school of Jewish social theorists, they fled Hitler's Germany for the United States and set about reworking social theory, motivated by preventing the kind of reactionary totalitarianism they had observed in Europe. https://t.co/5hILF56RQC
@KeithWoodsYT - Keith Woods
12/25 The theories of the Frankfurt School, subsidised by American oligarchy with grants from the Rockefeller Foundation, would become the basis for the New Left of the 1960s. Under the direction of Theodor Adorno, they published The Authoritarian Personality. https://t.co/Mo5KAEBSoc
@KeithWoodsYT - Keith Woods
13/25 This study purported to show that those who believed in traditional values were mentally ill, and this had it's roots in the family, especially belief in parental authority. An open society is not enough, what's required is deconstruction of these roots of authoritarianism. https://t.co/6ezynrFh5j
@KeithWoodsYT - Keith Woods
14/25 The work influenced liberal policymakers bent on directing society away from reactionary attitudes. The difficulty of this task was seen to reflect the dangerous force of traditional religion and faulty child-rearing. Now the family itself came under attack as a strong god https://t.co/wewQYXGFON
@KeithWoodsYT - Keith Woods
15/25 But it was the work of another Frankfurt School theorist Herbert Marcuse's which became the ideological basis for 60s counter-culture. The bestseller Eros and Civilization. https://t.co/XsNMeh61es
@KeithWoodsYT - Keith Woods
16/25 Marcuse argued that traditional societies were built on the repression of healthy human instincts and desires, particularly sexual, leading to alienation and unhappiness. The answer was a revolutionary freeing up of sexual instinct, "polymorphous perversity". https://t.co/rZYZxsS1iW
@KeithWoodsYT - Keith Woods
17/25 During WW2, Marcuse had been employed by the OSS, the precursor to the CIA. Marcuse drew up a list of 1800 businessmen and industrialists who should be considered key Nazis alongside military leadership. https://t.co/ykMFUKS06m
@KeithWoodsYT - Keith Woods
18/25 Marcuse and his colleagues argued dealing with these men was more important to De-Nazification of Germany than dealing with Prussian Militarism. This was the basis for Frankfurt School theorising: https://t.co/lzDCdIP2no
@KeithWoodsYT - Keith Woods
19/25 Members of the school all believed that Nazism was one expression of a ‘single paradigm of domination’, which also included Soviet Communism and liberal democracy. All their major works can be read through this motive of identifying a deeper basis for de-Nazification. https://t.co/qPDqhL7yLx
@KeithWoodsYT - Keith Woods
20/25 Most national hate speech laws have their precursors in their countries Holocaust denial laws, which normalised the idea of enshrining "group libel" in law. This was a significant shift in what was viewed as acceptable political speech. https://t.co/OBNgdU8oKS
@KeithWoodsYT - Keith Woods
21/25 Though Britain did not have Holocaust denial laws, its first laws on hate speech were contained in the 1965 Race Relations Act. The early advocates were inspired by their anti-fascist activities in London, and much of the debate centered on the German mistreatment of Jews. https://t.co/il7A8SOkcx
@KeithWoodsYT - Keith Woods
22/25 This is not to mention the entire ideological underpinning of the "rules based international order" established at the end of the war. Many of the founding fathers of the European formulated their ideal as an anti-fascist alternative to German rule. https://t.co/sbwii9eczI
@KeithWoodsYT - Keith Woods
23/25 Out of the war also came the basis for our conceptions of international law, war crimes, and the just war. With the myth of the perfectly moral act of war of intervening to stop the Holocaust, liberals can justify any use of force against regimes violating "human rights" https://t.co/aRd4hjGMAp

24/25 While the mood of post-war social theorists was moderate, the anti-fascist moral axiom contained a Manichean divide between the defenders of the open society and forces of fascism, which, with the input of Marxo-Freudians, included everything from science to parental roles. https://t.co/OYbyP7yJVT

25/25 In an age apparently stripped of metaphysics and grand narratives, the only thing that fills the gap of meaning is the one moral absolute, the absolute evil of Auschwitz. Everything is bad insofar as it is fascist, and everything is good insofar as it prevents fascism. https://t.co/yxE4iN2Awo

Matt Walsh made this thread arguing the trans movement is rooted in Nazism. He massively distorts history to try and fit this narrative. In doing so, he also undermines the many contributions made to trans acceptance by the Jewish community. Here are some examples: 1/8 🧵
@KeithWoodsYT - Keith Woods
2/8 Walsh mentions Magnus Hirschfeld as his example of a Nazi scientist. Hirschfeld was actually Jewish and gay, and fled Germany on the Nazis taking power. His sex research institute oversaw the first trans surgery, and he created the first ever LGBT advocacy organisations. https://t.co/7PKZ6ywe8D
@KeithWoodsYT - Keith Woods
3/8 Walsh also mentions the Nazi scientist Erwin Gohrbandt, who helped perform the first transgender surgery. But for this surgery Gohrbandt was assistant to a more prominent LGBT rights campaigner called Ludwig Levy-Lenz, who Walsh for some reason omits from his list. https://t.co/FqO9dkLguF
@KeithWoodsYT - Keith Woods
4/8 Gayle Rubin is regarded as the founder of Queer Theory. Rubin argued there exists a "sex-gender system" which regulates sexuality through the imposition of gender. She argued for dismantling "hierarchies of sexual value" and normalising sexual behaviour considered deviant. https://t.co/0G9Xx4j2Ve
@KeithWoodsYT - Keith Woods
5/8 Leslie Feinberg was a trans activist and communist whose work was influential in making her the first to argue for a Marxist concept of “transgender liberation”. Her novel Stone Butch Blues was also helped to bring these issues to a global audience. https://t.co/Yt2JwfPWvW
@KeithWoodsYT - Keith Woods
6/8 Jennifer Pritzker is a transgender member of the very influential Pritzker family. They through their philanthropy have arguably done more to advance the trans movement than anyone. https://t.co/0m52QLAGtA
@KeithWoodsYT - Keith Woods
7/8 Sirius XM founder Martine Rothblatt is one of the biggest philanthropists for trans issues. Rothblatt wrote something of a manifesto on the trans movement in 2011: From Transgender to Transhuman, arguing transgenderism was part of a broader progression to a transhuman future https://t.co/CbGSCzvh2W
@KeithWoodsYT - Keith Woods
8/8 Finally, George Soros' Open Society Foundation has also been at the forefront of promoting trans acceptance. The OSF has taken very progressive stances on issues like hormone treatment for minors, and is funding organisations advocating for trans equality across the world. https://t.co/KnwXLYHbHV

🇮🇱🇵🇸 Are you surprised by the brutality the Israelis are displaying in Gaza? Back in September, when Elon Musk was called before a digital Sanhedrin to speak with Jewish community leaders, one of the speakers was the very influential Rabbi Mannis Friedman. In answer to a question “How Should Jews Treat Their Arab Neighbors?”, Friedman wrote the following in a Jewish publication: "I don’t believe in western morality, i.e. don’t kill civilians or children, don’t destroy holy sites, don’t fight during holiday seasons, don’t bomb cemeteries, don’t shoot until they shoot first because it is immoral. ... The only way to fight a moral war is the Jewish way: Destroy their holy sites. Kill men, women and children (and cattle)."

☢️💣 If you watched Oppenheimer, you'll recognise this as Lewis Strauss, the film's antagonist. Strauss is depicted as a fierce Cold Warrior who casts suspicion on Oppenheimer for sympathy to the Soviet Union. But Strauss held a dual loyalty of his own. 🇮🇱 1/11 🧵 https://t.co/rFgmxbeUPc
@KeithWoodsYT - Keith Woods
2/11 Strauss was the architect of American nuclear policies in the 1950s. Strauss left a career as an investment banker on Wall Street to lead the Atomic Energy Commission – an agency set up to be custodian of America’s nuclear materials. ☢️ https://t.co/E3yOjzsBXa
@KeithWoodsYT - Keith Woods
3/11 Strauss was a conservative and a staunch anti-communist. 🇺🇸 He is now most remembered for his successful fight to strip Robert J. Oppenheimer of his security clearance. This conflict was the focus of Chrospher Nolan's film. https://t.co/AugETaP6SL
@KeithWoodsYT - Keith Woods
4/11 One theme of the film is the different relationships Strauss and Oppenheimer have to their Jewish identities. ✡️ Strauss, grandson of Jewish immigrants, was the picture of an assimilated Jew, insisting people pronounce his surname as the more English sounding "Straws". https://t.co/HhzAvUiStk
@KeithWoodsYT - Keith Woods
5/11 Though he kept it private, Strauss' Jewishness was central to his identity. Strauss was a leader from 1938 of the largest Reform synagogue in New York City. He wrote of his great guilt at not doing enough to stop the rise of the Nazis, and held onto a disdain for Germans. https://t.co/XKuPLu8ZKn
@KeithWoodsYT - Keith Woods
6/11 Though Strauss was originally an opponent of Zionism, he became more sympathetic through his lifetime, before finally visiting Israel in 1964. 🇮🇱 https://t.co/PtTdBqLvvz
@KeithWoodsYT - Keith Woods
7/11 When Strauss left the AEC in 1958, he did not inform his successor – John McCone – of the intelligence he knew about Israel's nuclear weapons program. According to Seymour Hersh, this was because "as a Jew with deep feelings about the Holocaust, he approved of it". https://t.co/xr9l5gan6V
@KeithWoodsYT - Keith Woods
8/11 Strauss befriended his Israeli counterpart Ernst David Bergmann – the father of the Israeli nuclear program. The Director for Advanced Studies at Princeton soon realised he was working on an Israeli nuclear bomb, and was surprised to discover Strauss privately supported it. https://t.co/HT2GxWBFDZ
@KeithWoodsYT - Keith Woods
9/11 🔎 In 1958, the CIA presented surveillance photos of Israel's nuclear site at Dimona to Eisenhower and Strauss, but neither reacted or took action to stop it. https://t.co/L3egnISTpw
@KeithWoodsYT - Keith Woods
10/11 Seymour Hersh, in his book The Samson Option, concludes that Strauss likely kept quiet about Israel's nuclear program because he held dual loyalty to Israel. 🇮🇱 https://t.co/EdFe0IClS4
@KeithWoodsYT - Keith Woods
11/11 Strauss, who ruthlessly pursued his fellow Jew Oppenheimer for his lack of loyalty, had finally wavered in his duty – siding with Israel over the United States. https://t.co/JCwSSFnnjl

🚨 JEFFREY EPSTEIN WAS AN AGENT OF ISRAEL. THE EVIDENCE: 🇮🇱 Former Israeli Intelligence officer Ari Ben-Menashe alleges Epstein ran a honeypot for Mossad after being recruited by Ghislaine Maxwell 🇮🇱 Maria Farmer, the first victim to report Epstein to the FBI, said everyone involved in the operation was a Jewish supremacist who racially abused her as a non-Jew - she claimed the operation was led by the Mega group 🇮🇱 Mega group is an organisation of exclusively Jewish billionaires set up to fund Jewish and pro-Israel causes 🇮🇱 One of the co-founders of Mega was Victora' Secret owner Les Wexner, who provided Epstein with his $77 million house in Manhattan which he used for his blackmail ring 🇮🇱 NY Times article from the 1990s reported on the apartment when Wexner owned it, describing it as reminiscent of James Bond movies 🇮🇱 Wexner was the only client of Epstein's mysterious hedge fund and the apparent source of his wealth 🇮🇱 Epstein was hired to work for Bear Stearns in 1970 by Alan Greenberg, another member of Mega group. Prior to this Epstein was just a school teacher 🇮🇱 Mega group member Ronald Lauder is president of the World Jewish Congress and has been a big donor to Netanyahu's Likud party 🇮🇱 Epstein's associate Ghislaine Maxwell is the daughter of Robert Maxwell, a top Mossad spy. 🇮🇱 Robert Maxwell's business partner was Charles Bronfman, a co-founder of the Mega group 🇮🇱 Epstein's lawyer and long-time friend Alan Dershowitz is an ultra-Zionist, author of The Case for Israel, and was considered by Israel to represent them at the ICJ 🇮🇱 Epstein had multiple meetings with former Israeli PM Ehud Barak in his New York apartment 🇮🇱 Les Wexner's Wexner Foundation gave Barak $2 million in 2004 for still unspecified research 🇮🇱 Barak says he was first introduced to Epstein by former Israeli Prime Minister Shimon Peres, who gave a eulogy at Robert Maxwells funeral 🇮🇱 Epstein and Barak were business partners in a tech company - the company’s executive team were all former members of Israeli intelligence The conclusion is unavoidable: Jeffrey Epstein was running a blackmail operation for Israel, backed by very powerful and connected Zionists with ties to the very top of the Israeli government.

🚨🇮🇪 A Limerick city councillor has called for anti-immigration protestors to be "shot in the head"! Abul Kalam Azad Talukder is a native of Bangladesh who came to Ireland in 2000 and was elected to Limerick council in 2019. At a council meeting, Azad Talukder, who is a member of Fianna Fáil, said of last week's riots in Dublin: “Not even an animal does these kind of thing. It is very shameful and they should get public punishment...I’d like to see them shot in the head or bring the public in and beat them until they die” Will the councillor be investigated for incitement to violence, as we heard Gardaí were considering investigating Conor McGregor?

🚨 Major scandal - Gardai caught supporting Antifa - Political Policing in Ireland 🇮🇪 Earlier today, two official X pages for the Garda Síochána - the Irish police service - were caught liking posts by Antifa accounts. Proof the Gardaí are now political police👇🧵1/6
@KeithWoodsYT - Keith Woods
2/6 The posts in question were calling for X to reinstate Ireland Against Fascism, an account which has spent years doxxing and harassing nationalists, conservatives and critics of mass-immigration. The Gardaí lent their support to have these left-wing extremists reinstated. https://t.co/QIHlSUo4yB
@KeithWoodsYT - Keith Woods
3/6 For those familiar with the Gardaí, this extreme left-wing bias is not surprising. Earlier this year, the Garda commissioner said he was liaising with other police forces on how to quell peaceful anti-immigration protests, which he found "sinister". Political policing. https://t.co/LZbCMOIo9P
@KeithWoodsYT - Keith Woods
4/6 It was reported that the Special Detective Unit was monitoring 20 "far-right agitators", despite them committing no crime other than dissenting against mass-immigration. Where did they get this list? Apparently from the extreme left-wing NGO "The Far-Right Observatory" https://t.co/EKSshvQNt5
@KeithWoodsYT - Keith Woods
5/6 Who are these agitators? Well, according to an obviously left-wing source for the Independent, I myself am "on the Garda radar" No crime alleged, just that in my role as a journalist I interviewed Nick Fuentes in a different country! (Article features numerous lies about me) https://t.co/73k4FCh5Rs
@KeithWoodsYT - Keith Woods
6/6 The Garda commissioner has said he wants hate speech laws to pass soon so the Gardai have greater power to target "far-right" dissenters. An Irish Minister explicitly said last year that the govt. intends to use speech laws to put down anti-immigration protests. https://t.co/abZIpuvJ30

🇮🇱🇦🇷 Argentina's new President Javier Milei has an interesting backer. Prior to entering politics, he spent 13 years working for Eduardo Eurnekian, the fourth richest man in Argentina. This relationship reportedly had a heavy influence on Milei. Milei's first television appearances were on a station partly owned by Eurnekian. According to the Financial Times "Several of Eurnekian’s former employees are part of Milei’s top team, including his rumoured picks for interior minister and cabinet chief." Eurnekian is a Jewish-Armenian immigrant who is chairman of the Wallenberg Foundation - a Holocaust charity. Milei has stated one of his first priorities as President will be to move Argentina's embassy to Jerusalem, and has announced his first state visit will be to Israel.
