===== On the nature of Jacob Schiffs relationship to the Russian revolutions: =====
"Schiff's gripe against Russia had been its anti-Semitism. At home Schiff had never shown any sympathy for socialism, not even the milder Morris Hillquit variety. Schiff had declared victory for his purposes in Russia after the tsar was toppled in March 1917 and Alexander Kerensky, representing the new provisional government, had declared Jews to be equal citizens. In addition to repeated public statements of support, he used both his personal wealth and the resources of Kuhn Loeb to float large loans to Kerensky's regime. When Lenin and Trotsky seized power for themselves in November 1917, '''Schiff''' immediately rejected them, cut off further loans, '''started funding anti-Bolshevist groups''', and even demanded that the Bolsheviks pay back some of the money he'd loaned Kerensky. Schiff also joined a British-backed effort to appeal to fellow Jews in Russia to continue the fight against Germany." - Ackerman, Kenneth (2016).

Jacob Schiff is often invoked in judeobolshevik conspiracy theories, with intentional lying employed about sources meant to support the claims. For example in: In "''Men who are making America''", page 335, it reads that Schiff once donated $100 000 to a set up a war relief hospital in Russia,<ref>https://archive.org/details/menwhoaremaking00forbgoog/page/n425/mode/2up</ref> in summer of 1917 before the October revolution had occurred. Gary Allen cited the same page in his book "''None Dare Call it Conspiracy"'' and used it to support the claim that Schiff gave a donation of $10 million to the bolsheviks.<ref>https://www.heritage-history.com/index.php?c=read&author=allen&book=none&story=bankroll#:~:text=later%20married%20Trotsky.%22-,Schiff,-spent%20millions%20to<nowiki/>The claim:

"Schiff spent millions to overthrow the Czar and more millions to overthrow Kerensky. He was sending money to Russia long after the true character of the Bolsheviks was known to the world. Schiff raised $10 million, supposedly for Jewish war relief in Russia, but later events revealed it to be a good business investment. (Forbes , B.C., ''Men Who Are Making America'', pp. 334-5.)"</ref>
