Christopher Columbus's goal and striving for Zion/Jerusalem come together in this true slice of history.
Christopher Columbus was no Jew , though some want to believe that.
He used this religious side to appeal to King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella to fund his belief that a voyage westward from Spain would eventually reach the Far East .
Historians have also claimed his Spanish was better than his Italian .
“Zion” has long been a poetic synecdoche for Jerusalem , the place to which Columbus was most certainly headed.
It was Marxism’s hatred of Judaism that propelled the late, iconic Israeli socialist Moshe Dayan in 1967 to order IDF soldiers to return the conquered Temple Mount to Muslims .
The secular Israeli elite has yet to understand that the enemy is not the verbal hologram of “the Palestinians ,” but the Muslims ’ antisemitic religion.
