THE JEW IN AMERICA BY SAMUEL S. COHON

The Jewish Role in the Discovery of America — While many Jews are recent immigrants, the Jew is no new arrival in this country. In point of length of residence and of service, he is the equal of any white man on this continent. That he played an important role in the discovery of America is a matter of history.

In recent years, the conviction has grown in the minds of scholars that Columbus' blood was partly Jewish. His mother, so it is alleged, came of a well-known Jewish family — the Ponte Rossi. And "Collom," which is the real name of Columbus, was that of an Italian Jewish family. As it was not safe in those days, in Spain, to be known as Jew, he called himself a "Genoese navigator." Though his origin is still a mooted question, it is pretty certain that he associated with Jews and was the recipient of their aid in his great work. When he failed to induce Ferdinand and Isabella to assist him in his undertaking, he turned to the Marrano, Louis de Santangel, the chan-celor of Aragon, for assistance. Together with his relative, Gabriel Sanchez, the royal treasurer, and his friend, Juan Cabrero, the royal chamberlain, also of Jewish blood, Santangel entered energetically into the plans of Columbus. He showed the queen the advantages to the crown and'to Spain of the discovery of a short route to India; the immortal fame and the limitless wealth that would be theirs.

Inspired by this glamor, the queen consented to pawn her jewels in order to raise sufficient funds for the expedition but she did not have to go that far. Santangel modestly requested to be permitted to advance the needed money out of his private treasury and accordingly advanced, without interest, 1,700 ducats (which is equivalent to $160,000 in our money). In view of these facts, Prof. Herbert B. Adams appropriately coined the fine epigram: "Not Jewels, but Jews were the real financial basis for the first expedition of Columbus."

Santangel's zeal was prompted, not only by his high-mindedness, but also by his Jewish loyalty. Two of his uncles were burnt by the Inquisition because of their Judaism and he himself, as may be well imagined, suffered greatly because of the mask of Catholicism which he was forced to wear. The condition of the Jews of Spain was near-ing its highest point of misery. Ferdinand and Isabella were preparing to expel all the Jews from their provinces. On August 2, 1492, about 300,000 Jews who refused to become Christians left Spain; and on the following day, Columbus, with the aid of Santangel, set sail in search of what turned out to be a haven of rest for the wandering Jews as for all the persecuted.

Columbus took with him the astronomical charts and instruments prepared by Abraham Zacuto, a Jewish professor at Salamanka. These were of incalculable service to the navigator and, on one occasion, saved the lives of the whole company. At least five members of the expedition, including the surgeon, Marco, the ship's doctor, Bernal, and the interpreter, Louis Torres, were Jews. Torres was the first European to tread on American soil and also the first to discover the use of tobacco. He won the good-will of a Cuban chief and received from him large grants of land and many slaves as presents. Columbus' recognition of his indebtedness to the Jews is shown also by the fact that the first detailed account of his discoveries was addressed to his Jewish patron, Louis de Santangel, and a similar letter was sent to Gabriel Sanchez.

Columbus' second expedition (1493) was again financed by Jewish funds. This time the money came not from the pocket of a rich Jewish patron, but out of the funds realized from the sale of the confiscated possessions of the Jews that were expelled from Spain.

Is anyone else curious if this is still history that B'nai B'rith holds to?

Hold on!

The Spanish Inquisition preceded this adventure.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_Inquisition

There were Muslims, Jews and Christians in Spain. So, you may as well say that it was Arabs who helped discover America.

This article is pure propaganda, revisionist history BS, IMO.

I think it's a mix of history and legend. Colom is an old Sephardic Jewish name and Columbus did get backing from Jews.

The pickler for the ADL types is that if B'nai B'rith was lying in 1926, what are they lying about now? If they're telling the truth, then the genocide stories used by them for the past 60 years are due to more than a little influence of Jews in history.

You understand so little in regards to Columbus, you mearely worked once more to compound your ignorance and to celebrate your favorite punching bag, the Jewish faith.

Nothing more.

your favorite punching bag, the Jewish faith.

Whether or not the Jewish "faith" has anything to do with Jews becoming a punching bag remains to be seen. It's far more likely that they just piss everyone off time and again which usually ends up in their expulsion or their being ostracized.

This old poor persecuted Jews syndrome has run its course, and it's about time too. Fucking Jews have nauseated the world for 6 millenium without ever taking a look inward to resolve their problem.

It's happening again, only this time it appears that there is an international disgust brewing that the bought off politicians can only hold back for so long before the international community swats the Jews back into the pile of shit they came from !

Shitlom !

Heh, more like your hate and bait desire to see a return of good old fashioned pogroms got run into the ground by Adolf Hitler and company. And it was indeed about time too.

Shalom.

Even Hitler could be right about something. Besides that, he was being supported by a number of Zio-nazis (Ashkenazi-zionists) ... The American people are tolerant, patient even deeply apathetic at times ... but the day is soon approaching that they will awaken from their stupor and run the zio-nazi warmongers out of the country ... maybe all of this is good in the end.

You remind me of Winston in 1984 ... 2+2=5 ... right Winston.

You're too brain-fucked to dialogue with ... please don't respond to this post.

Don't do what now? You are so dry humped your mind is a fossilized elephant booger. In any event, Hitler was wrong about everything, and nothing you can say will ever change that.

Hitler double-crossed the powers who financed him, i.e., the international bankers. But he was right about quite a bit.

Lawrence Dennis correctly predicted that fascism would come to America, though our leaders would call it by another name.

We've been "making the world safe for democracy" for nearly a hundred years. Where has it gotten us?

"But he was right about quite a bit."

Namely....? Examples? Give me something other then a simple statement with no examples to back up your assertions.

"We've been "making the world safe for democracy" for nearly a hundred years. Where has it gotten us?"

Mouthing platitudes is not "making the world safe for democracy." Wilson who took us into the Great War of 1914 to 1918 was a racist who removed all Negroes from the civil service and whose wife told "darkie" jokes in cabinet meetings.

The Doctrine of Discovery and Manifest Destiny, so deeply rooted in our history is not democracy in action. The American invention of Eugenics and Concentration camps perfected on Native Americans and called 'reservations was not democracy in action.

We need to first start being a democracy before we can make the world safe for it. And that is the bottom line to that notion.
