Columbus was Jewish

Apocalypto was a terrible movie which should not be relied on for history.

EDIT - On rewatching the above I see some flaws in Nick Hodges' analysis. The movie is not supposed to be pre-Columbian. So maybe Apocalypto is not as bad as I thought but still you cannot trust a Mel Gibson historic movie. He inserts white Anglo-American bias into everything.

Thanks but I was just suggesting that the Amerindian tribes did in fact attack and enslave each other at times. This was a common way of life in that era. I dont care about the accuracy of a frigging movie ... get a grip.... 😀

The 15th-century explorer Christopher Columbus was a Sephardic Jew from Western Europe, Spanish scientists said on Saturday, after using DNA analysis to tackle a centuries-old mystery.

Columbus may have been covertly Jewish. Very interesting since he was a Catholic, who at th ...[text shortened]... e now know a lot more about Columbus showing otherwise, and the propaganda used to promote Columbus.

It seems very odd that Ferdinand and Isabella would finance a Jew's explorations considering that they both expelled the Jews and really kicked the inquisition into high gear.

Even if Columbus did everything to hide it, they seemingly would have known that at the least, he were a "new Christian" which the goons hated almost as much as non-Christian Jews.

I guess this history is what it is, but I'm having trouble believing it.

It would be like historians up and one day using circumstantial sociological evidence to conclude that Erich von Manstein was Jewish.

It's possible, but I'm remaining skeptical.

Here is a youtube video put out by Jewish historian Henry Abramson. He brings more evidence supporting the idea that Columbus was Jewish. For example, he associated with a lot of Jews, apparently claimed to be a Jew, and wrote symbols on personal letters that are reminiscent of a Jewish tradition.

It is a mistake to equate Imperial Spanish discrimination against Jews with Nazi discrimination. With the Spanish it was not a racial thing. As long as a Jew converted to Catholicism he would be accepted, if grudgingly, and he did not have to hide his Jewish ancestry.

The sum of the evidence seems to indicate that Columbus was probably of Jewish ancestry.

Actually there was a racial element to it especially later on

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limpieza_de_sangre

Limpieza de sangre…literally 'cleanliness of blood' and meaning 'blood purity', was a racially discriminatory term used in the Spanish and Portuguese Empires during the early modern period to refer to those who were considered to be Old Christians by virtue of not having Muslim, Jewish, Romani, or Agote ancestors.
