Typical Leftist diversionary tactic. Talk about history when current events require urgent action that Leftists oppose.
The Palestinian Arabs did stop boatloads of Jewish refugees from entering the British Mandate of Transjordan. One destination of Jews fleeing Nazi persecution was British administered Palestine. The Arabs used violence to induce the British to stop the flow.
Looks like Michael Moore never heard of the Grand Mutif of Jerusalem Amin al-Husseini who allied with Hitler, praised him for killng Jews, and helped organize a Waffen SS unit composed of Bosnian Muslims.
Moore seems to have forgotten about or is unaware of the expulsion of Jews from all over the Muslims world after the founding of Israel. Jews lived in those areas for thousands of years.
Michael Moore is the true enemy of the all-you-can-eat buffet.
Hundreds of people may be starving, because of him, at this very moment.
First of all, even if what Moore said was true, events in Spain 300, 400, 500 years ago aren’t terribly relevant in a conflict that is happening in the here and now,.
But ultimately Moore is ignorant and peddles myth. The Spanish Inquisition is overblown. Scholars who have looked seriously at the subject have pretty much concluded that executions by the Spanish Inquisition have been vastly overstated and the Inquisition was no crueler than contemporary courts in England, France etc.

In fact it’s been documented that at various points accused heretics/Muslims/Jews in Spain considered the Inquisition to be more lenient than civil courts, and given the choice, often begged to have their trials at the Inquisition where they perceived their chances of an acquittal and/or light sentence as much better
Those Spanish inquisitors were Hispanics not white...
What a moron.
Michael Moore and his kind are the true enemy of mankind. Here he is now trying to foster antagonism in the groups that he personally hates, hoping they’ll be at each other’s throats and ignore the enemies of his enemy.
The greatest impact of the inquisition was the banishment of Islam from Spain. Muslims invading Spain and Portugal in the early 700s were, at first, tolerant of Christians and Jews. There was a cohabitation of Muslims, Christians, and Jews. It was when more fundamentalist Muslims came into control, they began to persecute Christians and Jews with brutal beheadings.
Then Isabel and Ferdinand came to the throne and reconquered the Muslim kingdom in Spain. For them, Spain was once again to become a Christian nation. They expected all Muslims and Jews to convert to Christianity or leave Spain forever. The Inquisition continued to hold strong suspicions that many people who converted falsely were practicing old beliefs in secret. These suspicions extended to Muslims as well, who were forced to convert in the early 1500s. The Inquisition would only put you to death if you refused to repent. It was a brutal regime, but so were the Muslims who persecuted Christians and Jews.
I watched that pig spouting off about this yesterday. He acts so sincere that a low-IQ person would believe that what he’s saying is true.
What a fool. The Spanish Inquisition was not long lived and has been over for a long time. Muslims have had an ”Arabic Inquisition” ever since Satan made Mohammed write that book.
People who stir up strife have no business setting public policy.
It could be that Moore is trying to drive division in order to isolate Jews, making nobody an ally of them at all.
Cholesterol needs to work faster on Moore.
The Spanish Inquisition didn’t go after non-Christians . It was outside of their jurisdiction.
Michael Moore is still alive?
I would have thought that high pressure vessel full of rage would have exploded by now.
He and Rob Reiner will leave a big mess to clean up, when that ample skin finally gives out.
No fat, bloated leftist ran the buffet.
Did t know Jab a the Hutt was still alive.
Yes I know the Spanish are Caucasian, but my point is he's attacking one of the demographics the left panders to in order to pander to another group.
The stupid, it hurts.
So is Moore saying that Jews hate Whites and Christians?
