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?

These drug cartels also kill a lot of Mexicans, but aside from morals about slavery or drugs, those branches of commerce are / have been very profitable, yes. When the Dutch marijuana business (a way less aggressive industry than the Mexican cartels) was at it's top in the 1990s, it was in the top ten of profitable agricultural products, along with tomatoes, onions etc.

In the case of the 17th century Netherlands it is of course nonsense to reduce commerce, and the Jewish involvement in it, to slave trade, but it is true that it was part of it.

You are actually attempting to claim The Dutch "Triangle Trade" didn't hurt anyone beyond slaves?

((( The Dutch ))) literally funded, fueled, and banked shekels from the exploitation of the Native American Indians. Their "Land Purchases" lead to the mass slaughters of millions of natives, and non-jewish whites that would follow.

You keep denying the truth though. I love watching you dig yourself deeper with every reply.

I'm not claiming another other than that the slave trade was a lucrative business, and so is the drug trade. I'm not a proponent of either. Capitalism in itself, regardless of what industry, was bad for a lot of white laborers, but that doesn't mean it hasn't been profitable, and even the basis of the wealth of the descendants of those 19th century laborers (and to a plethora of non-white dole recipients).

Futhermore, there are some things in history that I wished went otherwise, not primarily because of piety with the victims, but because we're still dealing with the consequences today. I expecially wish the slave trades never happened, but mainly because that is one of the main reasons that brought Africans into the White peoples' homelands. Alleged mass slaughters are not in themselves necessarily a bad thing.
