Do you have a source? A link to a website or something?
Because I clearly need to get up to speed and pronto.
OK.

"In Dutch Brazil, Jews flourished in the sugar industry, tax farming and slave trade. Jews often purchased slaves and resold them at great profit."
The first is a link to a site promoting Louis Farrakhan.
The third references Jewish ownership of slaves in the 15th and 16th centuries and states in part, "Those they kept often preferred to work for Jews because both Shabbat and Sunday were rest days, whereas the Portugese only gave them Sunday off, and the Dutch worked their slaves seven days a week."
This seems to corroborate my argument that the Jews had been taught to treat their slaves better than they were treated by other nations. (Jorm and Equislax are going to be PISSED to read this.)
As for the second, I'll keep my eyes and ears open for corroboration. Thanks.
