As a Jewish guy who lives down Ford Road from Dearborn, I in no way blame Jews for the systematic effort to whitewash Ford’s Nazi decades. Just saying when that comment wasn’t met with a massive WTF, I knew we were in trouble.

It's pernicious and we all need to do everything we can to stop and correct it (Americans of all religious persuasions and ethnic backgrounds).

Woof. It’s going to be a long few decades while all this gets sorted out

I see a recurring pattern putting capital interests before human ones. Even when they involve your own personal survival.

Wait until you find out what the NYT was saying about a certain Austrian paperhanger from about 1922 to 1939. (Honestly, why do people still refer to that rag as "The Paper of Record"?)

I think he’s bad at this, attempts to placate right wing Jewish donors, and that a lot of ADL’s work is done on a more local basis (or by people who never speak publicly).

Whatever the ADL was, Abe Foxman killed that thing and replaced it with an Israel-right-or-wrongnik organization. It now exists to whitewash antisemitic politicians and celebrities by paying for their trip to Yad Vashem to apologize.

But yeah, fuck Elno. He just hates Jews.
