Well, if you don't vote for the Democrats, you ain't black. That is a contrapositive form of "If you are black, you vote for the Democratic religion."
Like Juan Epstein, the Puerto Rican Jew.
And...anti-hispanic.
Read about that fact years ago.
They also have to blame hispanics. [1][2[3]
It will be interesting to see how they re-engineer their outrage over Columbus (if at all).
It doesn’t per se. But back in the BC era the idea of “nations” was different than we think of nation states today. Nations were one people, sharing culture, land, traditions, language and often religion among other things. Egyptians, Hebrews, Greeks, Romans, Gaullist, Babylonian and so on. They used to call Native American tribes “Nation” eg the Sioux Nation. It’s because of these multiple shared qualities among the people of the tribe (nation). So a Sioux could convert religion but he wouldn’t necessarily be less part of the Sioux nation.
Indeed!

Of COURSE it does!!!
NOW we can’t eat HAM on Columbus Day!!!
(Obviously, you have not thought this all the way through….)

I thought that had been determined already. Maybe it was just a suspicion
He was CATHOLIC!
Always suspected he was Jewish and escaped during the Spanish Inquisition.
Being openly declared a Jew might make his getting an audience with the Spanish Monarchy much more complicated if not impossible.
Wow. Maybe that is why he left Spain during the Inquisition- because the antisemitism about comments on big noses made him flee.
Catholics of the day gave Jews two choices - convert or be tortured to death during the Inquisition. Many converted. Columbus left, as many did.
If they denied the trinity, they were tortured until they accepted. They were called Conversos. Many Jews p red aged the Shema until they.died. many did not.
“It’s better to lose your skullcap than your skull....Oy Gewalt!”
As a matter of historical curiosity, yes.
It was just odd to me that his logs were in Hebrew. Although pilots logs were the nuclear codes of the day and super super secret.
So it was just as likely he picked an obscur(ish) language to keep things secret in case someone stole it/took a peek.
While everyone has heard about the Nina, Pinta, and Santa Maria, history largely ignored the fourth ship, the Manischewitz, which was laden with Matzoh and Gefilte Fish.
