jews to reclaim all "lost" territory

[yankeedoodle]

If you have a list of all the countries and territories that kicked out the jews, they have the same list.  And, they are going to claim a "right of return."  Typically, if you emigrate from a country, a right of citizenship for heirs extends two generations - i.e., if your grandfather or grandmother had citizenship when they left the country, only their children and grandchildren can claim can claim citizenship of the country from which the grandparent emigrated.  However, the jews claim that their citizenship goes back centuries.  They didn't leave voluntarily - emigrate - they were kicked out. 

Spain and Portugal have naturalized more than 90,000 descendants of Sephardic Jews since 2015

(JTA) — At least 90,000 descendants of Sephardic Jews have become citizens of Portugal or Spain since 2015, when those countries passed laws offering a naturalization process for such applicants, according to the most updated information data from the two countries.

The laws were meant to atone for the Inquisition, a campaign of religious persecution unleashed at the end of the 15th century on the hundreds of thousands of Jews who had inhabited the Iberian Peninsula and flourished there.

Spain has received at least 153,000 applications for citizenship, while Portugal has received at least 86,000 applications, according to data published in Spanish and Portuguese media recently as part of annual reports on immigration trends.

Spain has granted citizenship to 36,000 applicants, or about 23% of the total who applied. Portugal has granted citizenship to 63% of applicants, or more than 54,000 people. Many thousands of applications are still pending review in both countries.

More than two-thirds of the applicants in Portugal are Israeli, according to a report Sunday in Lisbon's Observador newspaper. In Spain, the share of Israelis was lower than 5%, according to data from late 2019.

The latest data do not include figures from 2021 in Portugal. In Spain, there is data available only from the first three quarters of that year, when the country for the first time rejected a large number of citizenship-seekers under the reparations law.

Spain has rejected at least 3,019 applications, all but one of them in 2021, when the procedure for naturalization was toughened following fears of criminal activity by applicants. The country has also declined to decide on many cases, eliciting protests from applicants abroad. Portugal has rejected only a few hundred individuals.

The window for descendants of Jews expelled from Spain to complete their citizenship applications is closing. Spain's citizenship law initially allowed applications for only three years, but the government extended the deadline twice, including last September to account for bureaucratic issues connected to COVID-19. Applicants who applied before September 2021 have until February 2022 to complete the notarization of their application.

Meanwhile, Portugal's law is open-ended. But the revelation last month that Roman Abramovich, a Russian-Jewish billionaire, was naturalized in Portugal in April has reignited debate there over the 2015 legislation. Some Portuguese lawmakers proposed limiting the law's scope last year but withdrew their proposed changes amid an outcry from Jewish groups.

In Spain, the 2015 law has also prompted debate about whether the descendants of Muslims who were also driven out during the Inquisition should be given a path to citizenship.

In both countries, the official Jewish community vets applications and pass on for the government's approval only the ones that it deems credible.

New Study Reveals 4,000 'Spanish' Surnames With Jewish Origins
https://christiansfortruth.com/new-study-reveals-4000-spanish-surnames-with-jewish-origins/

Years of research have thrown new light on the origins of 12 prominent family names — and 4,000 surnames in total — typical of Jewish families who were expelled from Spain 528 years ago, most of whom are no longer aware that they are actually of Jewish origin:

https://www.ynetnews.com/article/rkXYVADWw

The study by Dr. Mordechai Nelken and the Union Sefaradi Mundial is replete with sources on each family name, tracing how it has been forgotten and assimilated into the wider world over the years.

Some of the names in the study were known to be prevalent in both Jewish and Christian families alike even before the expulsion.

Yet the descendants of many Jews who were forced to convert to Christianity and who assimilated into the local population in Spain and Portugal still bear these names without being aware of their Jewish roots.

According to the study, one exception is the name Salón (which comes from the word shalom), due to the fact that no Christian family bore that name. This means that every single person who bears this name today is a descendant of Jewish families from before the expulsion.

"People were very afraid of the Spanish Inquisition and tried to obscure any external Jewish signs, but inside their homes some continued with the old traditions," says Nelken.

"To this day this can be seen mainly in families living in towns in north-eastern Portugal. Most of them are from a small town called Belmonte. It can also be seen in Spain and the island of Mallorca."

The 12 Jewish names that Nelken discovered are quite common among citizens of Spanish-speaking countries.

And although some of them were also used by the Christian population before the expulsion, Nelken believes that many who carry these names today are actually descendants of Jewish families.

"These are familiar surnames carried by famous people who probably do not even know their origin," says the president of the Union Sefardi Mundial, Prof. Shimon Shetreet.

Research published in the American Journal of Human Genetics a decade ago analyzed the Y chromosome in 1,140 males from the Iberian Peninsula and Balearic Islands, and found a "high mean proportion of ancestry from North African (10.6%) and Sephardic Jewish (19.8%) sources."

"Take the name Castro," says Shetreet, who served as religious affairs minister under Yitzhak Rabin.

"We know it from Fidel Castro. It is a surname that was typical during the expulsion of Spain specifically for Jews of Spanish descent, and characterizes the Jews who lived in all kinds of Spanish cities that housed Jewish communities during the medieval period, such as the cities of Castro Urdiales and Castro del Río."

Another name that emerges from the study is Acosta. Today this is not a known as a Jewish name, but was very common among the Jews of Spain before the expulsion.

...Another ancient Jewish surname that came up during the study is the name Navarro or Navaro.

According to the findings of the Union Sefardi Mundial, during the Middle Ages important Jews lived in the ancient kingdom of Navarro, and there is evidence that Jews bearing the family name Navarro lived in pre-expulsion Spain...

Other family names who were found by the study and attributed to Jews are Duran, Espinosa, Leon, Medina, Ferreira, Rojas and Aliba.

While the bearers of these names today are not Jewish, the Union Sefardi Mundial insists that according to their in-depth genealogical research, the origin of at least some of the names are indeed Jewish...

According to Shetreet, the research was carried out in order to assist Jews who want to check their eligibility for a Spanish and Portuguese passport.

"According to the various sources and information we have collected, there are about 4,000 last names," says Shetreet.

According to Shetreet, "it is estimated that during the expulsion from Spain, about two-thirds of Spain's Jews converted to Christianity while one-third were exiled to other countries. Most of them sought to disappear so their presence would not be felt."

The head of the Union Sefardi Mundial, Anat Levi-Kaplan, says the results of the research surprised her and that the organization intends to contact all the famous personalities who bear these surnames and update them on their Jewish roots, while recommending to them to come and find out more.

"It's important for everyone to know where they come from," says Levi-Kaplan.

"It shapes our identity, present and future. It is important for us to continue to tell the story of the heritage of the Jews of Spain, and to revive the heritage of those who are unaware of their roots."

It's amusing to hear this 'expert' acknowledge that these 4,000 names are Jewish, but none of the people who have those names are Jewish — typical Talmudic double-speak.

If two-thirds of Spain's Jews converted to Christianity and were genetically absorbed into the general Spanish population 600 years ago, it is highly probable that the vast majority of Spaniards today have some Jewish blood, especially those who have lived in urban areas that attract Jews.

And virtually all the 'Spanish' Europeans who settled in the New World inter-mixed with the Jews and converso Jews who fled Spain after the Inquisition.

There were so many crypto-Jews in Mexico at one point that they had their own Inquisition to root out 'insincere' Jewish conversos — and early on the Catholic Church bemoaned the vast number of Jews who had settled in Cuba.

As with Spain, the simple arithmetics of exponential genetics suggests that virtually every Mestizo in or from Mexico today has some Sephardic Jewish blood in their veins.

This lack of pure Spanish bloodlines in the New World goes far to account for why civilization in Latin America has fallen far behind Europe and the U.S.A.

And given that Jews have admitted that they've been instrumental in flooding the U.S.A. with their Mestizo brethren, it will ultimately benefit the Jews that in the near future they can openly declare this racial affinity with the tens of millions of Mexican now squatting in America.

And it also means that hundreds of thousands of 'Spanish' people can now qualify for automatic EU citizenship in Spain and Portugal merely by claiming Jewish ancestry — even though none of their ancestors have lived there for at least 600 years.

Perhaps there is much more to Woody Allen's film "Bananas" that we originally thought:
