🧵Meet 15 Jewish Nobel Prize Winners Who Changed History🧵
The Jewish population constitutes just 0.18% of the world (15.3 million out of 8.2 billion), yet approximately 20-30% of Nobel Prize winners in fields like Physics, Chemistry, and Medicine are Jewish. This incredible fact highlights the Jewish community's historic contributions to humanity.
Let’s meet just 15 of the over 200 Jewish Nobel Prize winners.1/ Albert Einstein (1921, Physics).
Einstein was born in Germany to a secular Jewish family. His groundbreaking discovery of the photoelectric effect laid the foundation for quantum mechanics, earning him the Nobel Prize.
▪ His theory of relativity (E=mc²) reshaped our understanding of gravity and spacetime.
▪In 1933, Einstein fled Nazi Germany to the U.S., where he became a vocal advocate for civil rights and Zionism.
▪He helped inspire the Manhattan Project but later became an advocate for nuclear disarmament.

🧵Thread: The story of Jews in America goes beyond just history; it is deeply personal. It is about Jewish families who, escaping persecution and arriving with nothing, poured everything into creating a better future. It’s about standing alongside their neighbors in times of war, during civil rights struggles, and through cultural revolutions. But today, that's all under attack: antisemitism is on the rise and, with it, an attempt to erase centuries of resilience and contributions.
Let me take you on a brief journey through the amazing story of Jewish Americans, their achievements, their triumphs, and why their fight is one we all must share.1/ Arrival in the New World (1654):
In 1654, 23 Jewish refugees arrived in New Amsterdam (now New York City), fleeing the Inquisition in Brazil. They faced hostility from Governor Peter Stuyvesant, who wanted to expel them. But their determination, and appeals to Dutch authorities, ensured their place in the New World.
These early Jews established America’s first synagogue, Congregation Shearith Israel, in 1655. Despite being a tiny minority, they thrived by trading, contributing to the local economy, and building a foundation for Jewish life in America. Their story reflects the broader Jewish narrative: persistence in the face of exclusion.
Thread: The idea that Arabs loved Jews until the creation of Israel is a widespread and untrue myth. Many believe that Jews were welcomed and lived peacefully among Arabs until the establishment of the modern state of Israel in 1948. This view is not only historically inaccurate but dangerously overlooks the long and painful history of Jewish suffering in the Middle East. Long before Zionism, Jews faced massacres, forced conversions, and expulsions in regions once ruled by the Arabs. In fact, Jews in the Arab world endured centuries of persecution under both Muslim and Ottoman rulers. Here’s a look at some of the most significant massacres and pogroms throughout this period, revealing the true story of Jewish life in the Middle East.1. The Massacre of the Banu Qurayza (627 CE).
Long before Zionism, Jewish communities in the Middle East endured persecution, including one of the earliest and most harrowing incidents: the massacre of the Banu Qurayza in Medina during the time of the Prophet Muhammad.
The Banu Qurayza, a Jewish tribe in Medina, had entered into a pact with Muhammad under the Constitution of Medina, which allowed Muslims and Jews to coexist. However, during the Battle of the Trench, the tribe was accused of conspiring with Muhammad’s enemies, the Quraysh. After the Muslim victory, Muhammad and his forces besieged the Banu Qurayza’s fortress, forcing their surrender.
What followed was brutal. A tribunal led by Sa’d ibn Mu’adh sentenced all adult males of the tribe to death and enslaved the women and children. To determine who qualified as an “adult male,” boys were subjected to inspections for signs of puberty, specifically the presence of pubic hair. Those deemed adults were executed alongside the men. Historical sources, such as Ibn Ishaq and al-Tabari, report that between 600 and 900 men and boys were killed, their bodies dumped into trenches.
The Banu Qurayza’s women and children were sold into slavery, marking the total destruction of the tribe. This event illustrates the precarious and often deadly position of Jewish communities in the early Islamic period, long before the creation of Israel or the modern conflict in the region.
Thread: In today’s political rhetoric, the term “Nazi” is thrown around very casuall by those looking to smear their opponents without fully understanding or ignoring the weight of the word. It’s now almost commonplace for Democrats to label Trump and his supporters as “Nazis.” But do these people actually understand the unspeakable crimes and inhumane actions that the Nazis committed, or the irreversible scars they left on the world? What happened in Nazi Germany was a methodical, calculated genocide that reduced human lives to numbers on a spreadsheet and embraced cruelty as policy. Let’s remember the real Nazis—not as some empty insult, but as the masterminds of one of history’s darkest chapters. 1/ Adolf Hitler – Leader of the Third Reich.
Hitler’s name is synonymous with genocide, war, and hatred. As dictator of Nazi Germany, he led the world into World War II and crafted the policies that ignited the Holocaust. Hitler’s ideology centered around the belief in Aryan racial superiority, which fueled his ambition to eradicate Jews, Romani people, disabled individuals, and countless others he deemed “undesirable.” His orders led to the systematic murder of six million Jews and millions of others in gas chambers, ghettos, and mass shootings. Beyond the Holocaust, Hitler’s war set the globe on fire, causing unspeakable suffering and loss. His legacy is one of absolute brutality—a vision that sacrificed humanity for his twisted ideals. He is considered as the worst person to walk on our planet.
𝐓𝐡𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝: As we are getting closer to the elections, the stakes have never been higher for Jewish people. Antisemitism is on the rise, from the streets where Jews are attacked outside restaurants and on the subway, to our universities, where hate toward Jews has run amok. And Kamala Harris who said that some of the antisemites have a 'valid' point, yet has done nothing to counteract this rising hate. Her treatment of Israel, as it faces an existential fight, has been nothing short of a betrayal.
Meanwhile, political opponents have tried to paint Donald Trump as sympathetic to Nazis, going as far as comparing him to Hitler. Yet millions of Jewish Americans know the truth. Trump’s actions tell a different story—a story of clear support for the Jewish people, unwavering defense of Israel, and personal connections that prove his commitment. Jewish voters at this historic crossroads should examine Trump’s record for themselves.
In this thread, we will review Trump’s powerful support for Israel and the Jewish people and his longstanding relationships within the Jewish community.1. Recognizing Jerusalem as Israel’s Capital:
One of Donald Trump’s most significant actions as president was his decision to officially recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel in 2017. For decades, U.S. presidents had promised this recognition but never delivered. Trump broke that cycle. By making this declaration, he did more than making a symbolic statement—he corrected a historic injustice. Jerusalem has been at the heart of the Jewish people for thousands of years, and Trump’s recognition of this fact was a powerful affirmation of Israel’s rightful sovereignty. This move wasn’t just a fulfillment of a campaign promise—it was a testament to Trump’s understanding of Israel’s deep historical and spiritual ties to the land.
Thread: Given that the French President Macron has called for a weapons embargo against Israel in the context of the Gaza war, it's essential to recognize the deep hypocrisy of such a move. While Macron presents himself as a champion of human rights, his call to cut off Israel’s defense while facing a terrorist threat reveals the same anti-Jewish bias that has been present in France for centuries. France has a long history of turning on its Jewish population. Today, that pattern is driving French Jews to leave their homeland in alarming numbers. Let's take a journey through that troubling history.1/ Medieval Expulsions and Restrictions.
France's relations with her Jews was always inconsistent. She talked the talk of revolutionary ideals of "Liberty, Equality, Fraternity," yet Jews were considered continually as outsiders, not good enough for those ideals. As early as the Middle Ages, Jewish communities in France were strictly controlled, their religious practices restricted, and their opportunities limited. Jews were forbidden from owning land, holding public office, or intermarrying with Christians. The easiest solution, as King Philip IV decided in 1306, was to expel them altogether, taking their property in the process. The greed of the king and the hostility of the Church combined made Jewish life in France impossible to sustain.

1/ April 12, 1945 - A portion of the bodies found by U.S. troops when they arrived at Nordhausen concentration camp in Germany.
Enough is enough, Let’s set the record straight: the claim that Arabs welcomed Jews to Israel after the Holocaust is a false narrative and just a lie. The reality is that it's a much more complex and challenging history. Here’s a comprehensive look at the real dynamics of Jewish immigration and the reception in Israel.1/ An Ancient Bond: Jews and the Land of Israel.
Let me first say that The idea that Jews arrived in Israel only as Holocaust refugees disregards their ancient and continuous connection to the land. Jews have maintained a consistent presence in Israel for thousands of years, documented in ancient texts and archaeological findings. Cities like Jerusalem, Hebron, and Safed were significant centers of Jewish life long before the 20th century. This deep-rooted connection shows the significance of Israel to the Jewish people throughout history.
Today’s rhetoric from Turkey’s Erdogan about potential invasion in Israel reminds us about Turkey’s historical actions. For centuries, Turkey, both through the Ottoman Empire and modern Turkey, has exerted control over vast regions. This history thread includes some of the most significant episodes of violence and repression even on fellow Muslims. Here’s an overview of Turkey’s most notable atrocities, reflecting a legacy of brutality and domination..
Pls forgive me and understand that it wasn't possible to fit everything in 1 thread..1/ The Armenian Genocide (1915-1923)
The Armenian Genocide, perpetrated by the Ottoman Empire, remains one of the most devastating atrocities of the 20th century. During World War I, the Ottoman regime systematically exterminated approximately 1.5 million Armenians through mass killings, forced marches, and starvation. Despite extensive historical documentation and recognition by numerous countries, the Turkish government continues to deny these events as genocide, obstructing reconciliation and justice for the victims and their descendants.
Thread: Before we dive in, let’s address a critical issue: There are some people around the world who perceive Jerusalem as an Arab area, including the ICJ, with some even advocating for it to be handed over to the Palestinians as the capital of their prospective terror state. This view overlooks the profound and unbroken Jewish connection to Jerusalem. Let’s review how Jerusalem is intrinsically Jewish and how its history has been hijacked and rewritten.1/ 🌟 Jerusalem: The Eternal Capital of the Jewish People 🌟
Jerusalem has been the heart and soul of the Jewish people for over 3,500 years. Despite countless challenges and adversities, the Jewish presence in Jerusalem has remained unbroken, underscoring a deep-rooted and unwavering connection to this sacred city. From the days of Joshua and King David to the modern era, Jerusalem has been a constant in Jewish life, culture, and religion, symbolizing the enduring spirit and resilience of the Jewish people.

Yes, You Are Right, 6 Million Is Not a True Number... It Might Actually Be Higher...
🧵To those who dare question the reality of the Holocaust or minimize its horrors: your denial is an insult to history, truth, and the memory of millions who perished. plus the evidence is overwhelming, the testimonies irrefutable, and the suffering immeasurable. Holocaust denial is not just ignorance—it's an sinister form of antisemitism that seeks to erase the atrocities committed by the Nazis.
As we witness more and more how some try to deny out painful history, here's a detailed account to reaffirm the undeniable truth, we will review some of the death camps, killing techniques, and casualty figures.1/ Intro: The Holocaust, well recorded.
Orchestrated by Nazi Germany, it resulted in the systematic murder of approximately 6 million Jews. However, recent research suggests this figure might be even higher. The full extent of the atrocities is staggering and still being uncovered. The scope of this genocide went beyond the initial estimates, with ongoing studies revealing more mass graves, hidden documents, and survivor testimonies that paint a grimmer picture of the Holocaust's true scale. The meticulous records kept by the Germans provide detailed insights into the numbers and methods of murder, underscoring the planned and methodical nature of this genocide.
🧵Josef Mengele meticulously documented his experiments at Auschwitz, proud of his horrifying work. He meticulously recorded his experiments, and he would have been angered by attempts to deny the horrors despite the testimonies of Jewish survivors who suffered through his atrocities.
Who was Josef Mengele, and who were his victims? Please read the thread below and let's explore together only 10 out of thousands of his experiments.
Introduction: Josef Mengele, known as the "Angel of Death," was a German SS officer and physician at the Auschwitz concentration camp during World War II.
Born on March 16, 1911, in Günzburg, Germany, Mengele earned a doctorate in anthropology and a medical degree, which he later used to conduct horrifying human experiments.
He was infamous for his brutal and inhumane medical experiments on prisoners, especially twins, in the Auschwitz extermination camp.
I'm sick and tired of Candace Owens and her likes that are obsessed with framing Jews behind every problem that they had over the years. While we all love the Christians and while most Christians are real friends of the Jews, I think this has to be said again and again. So let's review some history and some facts.1/ Early Christian Era:
Hostility towards Jews began as early as the 4th century when Christianity became the Roman Empire's official religion. Emperor Constantine's policies, later codified in the Theodosian Code, restricted Jewish rights. Jews were barred from public office, synagogues were destroyed, This set a precedent for future Christian rulers to marginalize Jews.

Introduction:
We hear all day the widespread lie and libel that Israel is an occupier in the West Bank, or as it’s historically known, Judea and Samaria.
This narrative ignores the historical and legal realities of the region. Judea and Samaria are the cradle of Jewish civilization, the heart of biblical Israel. It’s time to set the record straight and recognize the profound significance of these regions to Judaism and why they rightfully belong to Israel, so please bear with me on this long thread.1/ Judea and Samaria: The Essence of Judaism.
Judea and Samaria are more than geographic locations; they are the very essence of Jewish identity and heritage. Known historically as the biblical heartland, these areas are full with sites of immense religious and historical significance for the Jewish people. From the ancient cities of Hebron and Shiloh to the rolling hills of Samaria, these lands are intertwined with the history of the Jewish people. They are the lands where the patriarchs Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob walked, where King David shepherded his flocks, and where the prophets spoke their divine messages. The connection to Judea and Samaria is not just historical but spiritual, deeply embedded in the Jewish consciousness.

🧵Let's talk about ethnic cleansing: Where are the Jews from Gaza? Where are all the Jews from Gaza?
The history of Jews in Gaza is not new at all,
It goes back to over thousands of years and is very entangled with the region's geopolitical, cultural, and religious dynamics.
You can start early on when the ancient Israelites Conquest'd the area and go to the periods of Assyrian, Babylonian, Persian, and Hellenistic rule, Gaza always maintained a Jewish presence, often serving as a strategic gateway between the Mediterranean and the Levant, and during the Hellenistic and Roman eras, Gaza emerged as a active commercial center, attracting merchants, scholars, and craftspeople from all backgrounds, including Jews.
