Crypto-Jews, Sephardic Jews of Spain

JewishUnpacked.com; Sheldon S., Ashley Wells (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly

Why did Spain expel Sephardic Jewry in 1492?
Lies my Teacher Told Me (J. Loewen)
(Unpacked) March 1, 2023. [Criminal Christopher Columbus was a Jew expelled in 1492, a Converso out to torture, enslave, and pillage the new world to manage his debts, cheat his crew, and rape his way back into the graces of a European crown.]

How can a government apologize for an atrocity? In 2015, the Spanish and Portuguese governments began accepting applications from the descendants of the Jews once forcibly converted, massacred, and expelled from the Iberian Peninsula.

AOC is a Crypto-Jew, Converso, Anusim?
But why offer citizenship? Why not leave the past in the past? Because Sephardic Jews still carry the memory and the legacy of the centuries of vibrant Jewish life in Spain. This video honors the astonishing resilience of a community that refused to be destroyed.
For the glory of the Catholic God, white Europeans, and all the riches I'll plunder!
