In my book, this now means criticism of Christopher Columbus should now be considered anti semitic.
Oh, Jeez, this means we have yet another Jewish holiday on our calendars. ;-)
Next we’ll find that Christopher Columbus invented astroturf.
Stan Freberg 1961 comedy album the United States of America, the Early Years had a skit of Columbus and his men negotiating with the “Indians” at the shore.
Columbus: Now that we have discovered this land....
Indian: No, we discovered you. We lived here and saw you guys coming here.
Later....
Columbus: Okay, let’s settle the deal. I’ll go to the bank and have my check certified and give it to you.
Indian: Can’t. Banks closed. Columbus Day.
This just in: Rep. Ilhan Omar declares an intifada against Christopher Columbus and all his descendants.
Big Tent.
A.K.A.: The water’s warm—anyone and everyone should jump in while the jumpin’s good.
Convert if necessary, revert if possible, and if it’s the faith of your birth? Stay the course, Ninã, Pinta OR Santa Maria.
Redman drive-um hard bargain.
“In my book, this now means criticism of Christopher Columbus should now be considered anti semitic.”
That was my first thought also.
Is it now anti semitic to oppose a Columbus Day parade?
Do Palestinian protesters show up at such parades?
Uh, as I recall, all this hate started with the Greeks so....
🤔👍 .
Hey, someone else with good taste in classic humor here. I knew I’d find one sooner or later.
So he WAS a Converso, as believed for many years.
Hey, LOTS of us listened to Green Chri$tma$ back in the day!
Does it matter?
So when did your race—determine your religion?
Thanx for the earlier links. Hadn’t had time to check them out yet, but I popped back in to FR and there’s this.
No, but the Aztlan idiots do. If Columbus was a Jew, then the leftists should be blaming the genocide of the indigenous people on the Jews! And now we have Palestinians in great numbers to blame the Jews for their perfidy and to urge freedom for Palestine! Note: blaming Jews for passing diseases on to the Indians and slaughtering them in great numbers and "freedom for Palestine" are not related but we are not dealing with particularly discerning individuals - Palestinian or Aztlan types.
Glad to hear it.
Whatever his roots, Columbus was a sincere practicing Catholic.
The Spanish monarchs did not persecute sincere Catholics, regardless of their bloodline. Nor did they persecute Jews. They did prosecute heretics, including Jews and Muslims who whose conversion to Catholicism was insincere.
Tomas Torquemada had Jewish ancestors, yet that did not bar him from becoming Grand Inquisitor of the Spanish Inquisition.
Saint Teresa of Ávila was another prominent, early 16th century Spanish Catholic with Jewish heritage.
There would have been no reason for Columbus to hide his heritage.
