FORD FOUNDATION A STRONG SUPPORTER OF ANTI-ISRAELI GROUPS

The Ford Foundation, which is now based in New York, was chartered in 1936 in Michigan by Edsel and Henry Ford "to receive and administer funds for scientific, educational and charitable purposes, all for the public welfare."

Henry Ford had a history of anti-Semitism going back to 1915. According to Ford, the Jews were responsible for everything that was wrong with society. There was a mutual admiration between Ford and Hitler, with Adolf keeping a picture of Henry on his desk.

Ford was the publisher of The Dearborn Independent and The International Jew. The Dearborn Independent was a virulently anti-Semitic newspaper. The International Jew was a four-volume compilation of articles from the Independent purporting to show how the Jews were trying to take over the world. However, in the last years of his life, Ford who died in 1947, apologized for his anti-Semitic pronouncements and tried to make amends to the Jewish community.

Other than its name, the Ford Foundation has not had any connections to the Ford Motor Company nor the Ford family for over thirty years. However, the Ford Foundation seems to be following in Henry Ford’s original Jew hating footsteps. It has a history of providing financial support to vehemently anti-Israeli Arab groups and disburses millions of dollars annually to left-wing Israeli groups that accuse the Israeli army of war crimes and support anti-Israel campaigns abroad.

One of those groups, The far-left New Israel Fund (NIF), receives much of its money from the Ford Foundation. The NIF then used that money to support Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) that accused Israel of war crimes in Gaza. NGOs receiving financial support from the NIF made up the bulk of Israeli sources used by Richard Goldstone’s UN panel of inquiry that condemned the Israeli army’s conduct in last winter’s Gaza operation.
