Jewish Involvement in Slave Trade History
Historians record old Jewish documents showing how the slave trade was so
thoroughly Jewish. The slave auctions throughout the
Americas had to close on Jewish
holidays.
Brazil received far more African slaves than North America.
Abe Witzner, another official of the Jewish Historical
Society, in his book
Jews in Colonial Brazil, pages 72 and 73, wrote, quote,
"The buyers who appeared at the auctions were almost always Jews,
and because of their lack of competitors, they could buy slaves
at low prices. If it happened that the date of such an auction fell
on a Jewish holiday, the auction had to be postponed."
Studying the Jewish histories of the New World, I began to learn of a carefully
recorded Jewish history that you and I are not permitted to know about.
I discovered that many centuries before the transatlantic slave
trade, that Jews had dominated the slave trade in
the entire
Western world for the last two thousand years, even as
far back as Roman times. Funk & Wagnalls Jewish Encyclopedia,
Volume
10, page 48, writes, quote, "The trade in slavery
constituted the main source of livelihood for the Roman
Jews." In the fifth century, Pope Gelasius permitted Jews to introduce
slaves from Gaul into Italy on the condition that they were
non-Christian. In the eighth century, Charlemagne
explicitly allowed the Jews to act as intermediaries in the
slave trade. In a history of the Jews from Babylonian
exile to the end of World War II, published by the Jewish
Publication Society of America, the author writes,
quote, "The Jews were among the most important slave
dealers in
European society." And here's a quote from the famous Jewish
historian Jacob
Marcus in the Encyclopedia Britannica.
He matter-of-factly talks about the Jewish control of commerce in the Middle Ages.
Quote, "In the Dark Ages, the commerce of Western Europe
was largely in
his hand, in particular the slave trade."
