First step would be throwing out the videos of cartoons and fairy tales and teaching children the morals of America's founders...

When I see a movie based on Superman instead of Abe.. my blood boils..

DNA markers mean next to nothing, and Jews remained in Spain so long as they did so covertly. In any case we know for a fact that Columbus did have Jewish crewmembers.

And yes there was a grand Jewish tradition of seafarers, Spanish and Portuguese exploration would have been impossible without its Jewish contributions.

What might have happened is sheer speculation. We do know what happened and Columbus is a key part of it. And that is why Columbus is a key part of US history.

And some geneticists have determined Columbus was not Jewish based on DNA markers.
And the Alhambra decree required all Jews to be gone by July 31, 3 days before Columbus set sail. That would have made it rather hard for any to be part of the crew. And of course that assumes a grand tradition of Jewish seafarers which we hear so little about otherwise.

Sorry Sultan, but you are backing a poor choice this time.
The Americas would have been explored and settled by Europeans without Columbus. The Portuguese were exploring the coast of Africa and were bound to discover Brazil eventually (as they in fact did in 1500), and if we want to go with theories, English sailors were searching for lands a decade before Columbus. Either would have led to exploration of North America by the British and French, and that would have resulted in U.S. existing, with or without Columbus.
Columbus is not essential to either the existence of the U.S., or the existence of an American identity.

Not only has history been rewritten but in the rewrites and forgeries, Columbus and his men are recorded as committing rapes and other crimes.
Never happened, but it made the anti-American crowd very happy to be able to falsely supply reasons to dismantle America.

The Jewish expulsion from Spain, then the open doors to America, then massive immigrations of Jews to this continent (except for the Holocaust years when it was closed to us by the perceived friend, the liberal Roosevelt) still making it the biggest Jewish concentration outside Israel. Hmm, does it say anything about the connection between expulsion and Columbus? Does it say anything about the raise of the enemies questioning Israel's right to exist and now America's right to exist?

When was celebrating Columbus Day "a major event?"

Have you read "Goodbye, Columbus"? What did you think of it?

here in canada i often hear the line in our national anthem that goes "o canada, our home and native land" replaced with "o canada, our home ON native land." why people think that this entire continent should be only native land simply because a few tribes of indians wandered around it chasing buffalo at one time is a mystery to me. there are hundreds of millions of people here now and its *still* underpopulated. so it never really carried much water with me that my hometown should be considered stolen land just because a hundred and fifty miles away there was once a small native village. there were real crimes committed against the native people but stealing all their land is not one of them.

I think the next holiday to go will be Thanksgiving. It will be called national eat a turkey day or something. In the minds of the useful idiots in the academy it represents another example of the triumph of European white men over the noble savage. You know the defeat of the underdog. Kind of like Israel defeating the hapless Arabs. Western colonialism at its best.
The KGB has done its work very well. It seems that the Russians have mastered the art of misinformation. The Protocols are the best and most enduring example.

Many credible historians feel Columbus was Jewish. Almost his entire crew was Sephardim.

Put that in your hookah and smoke it.

I find it hard to get worked up over Columbus being looked at critically.
Let us not forget that the year he "bumped into" the Americas on his trip to China was also the year his patrons expelled the Jews from Spain.
And of course, Columbus did not actually land in the continental U.S.
There are plenty of better Italians, and plenty more better explorers of the U.S. if we need to pick any to celebrate.

Historical revision strikes again. If America was never discovered then there's nothing to celebrate on July 4.

I don't know...in a strange way it's starting to remind me of the movie "Back To The Future." The prom scene in which Michael J. Fox looks at a picture of his siblings. They're starting to disappear and if his parents don't kiss and fall in love they'll disappear completely. No first kiss, no romance, marriage and children.

America is fading and so is Israel. That's what happens when you mess with history, with the past.

That analogy probably doesn't make any sense unless you've seen the film and that particular scene.

Great headline, Sultan: "Goodbye Columbus."
