Citation needed

In an article this hotly disputed, this well patrolled and this well sourced; how does this line remain?

Later scholars would challenge Raphael's assessment of the extent of Jewish participation in the slave-trade.[citation needed]

If it can't be sourced within a week then it should be removed. 97.85.168.22 (talk) 15:05, 28 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

We can do better than citing "later scholars", we can give a cited retraction from the original author. --GRuban (talk) 16:18, 28 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"During the 1490s, trade with the New World began to open up. At the same time, the monarchies of Spain and Portugal expelled all of their Jewish subjects. As a result, Jews began participating in all sorts of trade on the Atlantic, including the slave trade."

Where is the source for this leap in logic? It smacks of historic revisionism - "Since they were expelled, they had no other choice but to engage in slave trading." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.210.129.152 (talk) 00:09, 12 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It looks like sources 34 and 35 in the article support it. Jayjg ^(talk) 20:54, 13 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

-== Ottoman Empire ==
-I stumbled upon [http://pluto.huji.ac.il/~yaronbn/No.26.pdf this interesting paper] regarding the common Ottoman Jewish practice of keeping Slavic women as sex slaves. I was surprised neither this article nor [[Slavery in the Ottoman Empire]] nor [[Concubinage]] mentioned this subject. I don't have the time to do it now, but this practice ought to be noted in this article. [[User:Dmcw127|Dmcw127]] ([[User talk:Dmcw127|talk]]) 00:11, 5 August 2013 (UTC)
-== Reads Like an Opinion Piece ==
-Tons of assertions, loaded language, etc. This article reads nothing like an encyclopedic article. [[Special:Contributions/151.52.95.171|151.52.95.171]] ([[User talk:151.52.95.171|talk]]) 11:13, 2 October 2013 (UTC)
-== £20 million buyout by British Government  ==
-Suggested edit: It was the slaveowners who were bought out, not the slaves.
