Jews were so influential in those colonies that slave auctions scheduled to take place on Jewish holidays often were postponed, according to Marc Lee Raphael, a professor of Judaic studies at the College of William & Mary.


“Money was earned by Jewish communities in South America, partly through slavery, and went to Holland, where Jewish bankers handled it,” he said. “Non-Jews were also complicit, but so were we. I feel partly complicit.”

Though he holds no official position in the Dutch Jewish community, van de Kamp, 65, is among the best-known Orthodox rabbis in the Netherlands, a status earned through his several books on Dutch Jewry and frequent media appearances.

His forthcoming book, a historical novel entitled “The Jewish Slave,” follows an 18th-century Jewish merchant and his black slave as they investigate Dutch-owned plantations north of Brazil in the hope of persuading Jews to divest from the slave trade. In researching the book, van de Kamp discovered data that shocked him.

That actually supports Joe's point about the Jews stimulating commerce in the Netherlands.

The same "justification" could be made that Mexico's drug cartels are "stimulating commerce in the South America." Mexico, and Guatemala are reaping "the rewards of all that cash flowing into stimulate" their local, city, and state economies right?

Is the Kike family making trillions while flooding The United States with Opioids also "stimulating commerce" to benefit the U.S.?
