>>97925318>Mainstream scholars for the most part do not accept their conclusions>their conclusions>conclusionsSo they are conceding that Jews did in fact have a disproportionate influence in the slave trade, however they view the political conclusions on it to be unfounded.
>Jews were one of countless religious and ethnic groups around the world to participate in the slave tradeThat doesn't change a thing.
EVERY race and every people owned slaves at one point, However this is about the transatlantic slave trade, which is commonly blamed exclusively on european-american christians.
Notice how they say "slave trade" as an umbrella term, because they did not want to talk about the american slave trade specifically. This is poisoning the well and misrepresenting the argument that jews took a large part in american slave trading.
Obviously, Jews were not in control of EVERY SLAVE TRADE EVER, from China to the middle east, but that is not what people are arguing when they point out the evidence of Jews owning a massively disproportionate amount of the slave ships.
