History of the Jews of the Caribbean , by Ralph G.Bennett
History of the Jews of the Caribbean , by Ralph G.Bennett The year 1992 marked the 500th anniversary of the landing of Columbus in the New World. It also marked a less publicized anniversary, that of the beginning of what is known as the Second Diaspora, when the Jews were expelled from Spain and re-settled throughout the world.

I spent some happy years on the late amazon boards correcting people's fantasies about 9/11 "truth". C.O. was one of them
(the people, not the fantasies).
I started a 9/11 thread here on the conspiracy forum if anyone is interested.

Relax, C.O., you haven't offended me. Is that stalker you had on Amazon still after you, btw?
Here's a mixed metaphor for 9/11 "truth": if the foundations are made of pie in the sky, the whole building doesn't stand up.You try to limit the discussion to the implosions at the World Trade Center, and you get that wrong.

Here is an Atlantic article from 1995 which makes fascinating reading.
https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine...e-jews/376462/Almost as soon as it appeared, in 1991, The Secret Relationship generated a controversy that centered more on its intentions than its scholarship. The noise level was heightened in 1993 by the turmoil that swirled around Professor Tony Martin, of Wellesley College. A tenured professor in Wellesley's Department of Africana Studies, Martin assigned to one of his classes portions of the book, which singles out Jews for special prominence in the Atlantic slave trade and for having played a particularly prominent role in the enslavement of Africans in the Americas. He was accused of anti-Semitism, and wrote a brief book to refute the charges. The title of Martin's book, The Jewish Onslaught: Despatches From the Wellesley Battlefront, gave a clear preview of his opinions. It was a mixture of discussion, factual refutation, and angry recrimination. This last predominated, with paragraphs that opened using language like "To the Jews, and to their favourite Negroes who have insisted on attacking me I say . . ." His views on The Secret Relationship's use of historical materials amounted to a barrage of enthusiastic endorsements. Ironically, Martin's assertion that "Jews were very much in the mainstream of European society as far as the trade in African human beings was concerned" was very close to what many Jewish scholars had claimed some thirty years before.

I read Martin's book years ago and I think he goes too far. My interest is in the slave trade to the Caribbean.. Bennett's study comes out of the study of his wife's ancestry... as does mine.

The Slave Trade was, I think, organised mainly by capitalists in Bristol and Liverpool, very few of whom were Jewish, as far as I know. Slavery scarcely existed in the UK at the time, and was soon shown to be illegal. The whole point of the exercise was to make money, whatever the human cost, and as with almost every other horror, any guilt should be ascribed to the capitalist system itself, rather than to any particular group or individual.
