Blaming Jews is disingenuous; they were merely fronts. Given their political status and precarious financial positions, what you need to be asking is who's money was financing the slave trade. You'll find the bulk of it came from places like the Vatican, and personages such as the King Of Spain, Venetian Doges, etc., etc., etc.
