I've been informed that there's controversy in this group when it comes to the notion of Inquisition-era "Jewish pirates", so I share this with you with the following thought:In researching "Jewish pirate" stuff for my film on the subject, I've encountered quite a lot of anti-Semitic writing. Regardless of whether or not Jews became pirates during the Inquisition, anti-Semites have claimed that narrative for their own nefarious purpose. Even if there's no historical basis for it, making a Jewish pirate film is a way to re-claim this narrative.So, whether you feel Jewish pirates are historical fact or pure speculative fiction, I encourage you to consider helping me get this film made:
