Francisco Gil-White Strongly - pro-Israel stance:
Francisco Gil-White is a Mexican-American anthropologist, historian, and political analyst with a Ph.D. in evolutionary and sociocultural anthropology from UCLA. He has taught at institutions including the University of Pennsylvania (where his contract was not renewed amid controversy he attributed to his views) and ITAM in Mexico City. His work spans evolutionary theory, ethnic conflict, prestige in societies, and especially geopolitics, antisemitism, and the Arab-Israeli conflict.
- Strongly pro-Israel stance: Gil-White is a vocal defender of Israel, opposing the Oslo Accords, the establishment of a Palestinian state under PLO/Fatah (which he calls the "Palestinian Authority"), and any territorial concessions. He argues these would endanger Israeli Jews and Jews worldwide, viewing the PLO/Fatah as rooted in historical antisemitism with ties to Nazism (e.g., via figures like Haj Amin al-Husseini). He has described the Palestinian movement as having fascist origins and warns that processes like Oslo repeat WWII-era appeasement of Nazis.
- Antisemitism in history and today: He analyzes antisemitism over 2,500 years of Western history as a tool used by repressive elites to counter Jewish-influenced democratic and liberating ideas. In his ongoing multi-volume work The Collapse of the West: The Next Holocaust and Its Consequences, he argues Jewish thought contributed fundamentally to Western values like justice and equality, while antisemitism serves as psychological warfare against democracy. He critiques media narratives for bias against Israel and Jews, and highlights overlooked Nazi-Arab connections.
- US foreign policy criticism: Gil-White claims the US government has historically worked against Israel's interests, including allegations of efforts to undermine or destroy Israel. He extends this to broader critiques of Western institutions' corruption and loss of democratic sanity.
- Former Yugoslavia: He has defended aspects of the Serbian position in the 1990s wars, alleging NATO framed Slobodan Milošević and criticizing coverage of conflicts involving groups like the Kosovo Liberation Army.
- Other controversial positions: Earlier writings associated him with skepticism toward official narratives on events like 9/11 and climate change (e.g., citing CO2 lag in ice cores as refuting anthropogenic global warming, per critics). He has been labeled a conspiracy theorist by sources like RationalWiki for associations with sites promoting alternative views on Yugoslavia, Israel, and 9/11.
Gil-White publishes extensively on his Substack (The Management of Reality), website (managementofreality.com), and historical research site (hirhome.com), focusing on media manipulation, power elites, and threats to Western democracy tied to antisemitism and the Israel-Palestine conflict. His views are polarizing: praised by pro-Israel advocates for historical depth and criticized as conspiratorial or extreme by others. He frames his work as investigative journalism grounded in documented history.White - The Management of Reality - YouTube
