On Columbus

It's the standard Jewish operating procedure. If little or nothing is known of a famous personality sufficiently displaced in time for the facts to be as near as or non-existent, the Jew will claim that person as his own. Even going to the extent of declaring it anti-Semitic to deny his or her Jewish heritage. When culture changes and that person is denounced as a genocidal monster as has been done with Columbus, it becomes anti-Semitic to even suggest that the now infamous historical personality is a Jew.

Quote from: The History Channel ForumI think you might find this amusing.
The Encyclopedia Judaica is published in Israel every few years. Before 1992 there would be a few pages about Columbus which claimed he was really Jewish. There were several documents presented and other facts presented in this article. When the 500th anniversery of the 1492 expeditioin took place there were a number of authors who claimed the Columbus was guilty of genoicide against the native peoples. The next edition of the encyclopedia publish a few years later attacked the idea that he was Jewish. The article actually said that to claim he was Jewish was to slander the Jewish people.
Unfortunately, there is too much evidence showing he was a Spanish Jew and not an Italian and many of his crew members were Jewish. But the Jewish community no longer boasts about Columbus.
