Ford Motors after their X account posts: "Israel is a terrorist state"

Henry Ford was a Jew hating American. 

For starters, he owned the newspaper The Dearborn Independent from 1919 to 1927 which published a series of articles such as "The International Jew: The World's Problem." This series pushed anti-Semitic conspiracy theories that suggested Jews controlled the economy, the media and politics. They were published not only in the U.S. but also translated and distributed globally and are believed to have influenced Hitler, who referenced Ford glowingly in "Mein Kampf."

Due to his personal financial concerns, Ford made a public apology in 1927 and retracted the Jew-hating accusations, but his apology has been debated by historians who argued his retraction was influenced by boycotts and legal concerns. Furthermore, Ford's views remained unclear and some correctly pointed out that he continued to associate with anti-Semitic scumcrumpets and the ongoing circulation of his own writings clearly showed that his views on Jews did not really change, and this has resulted in a significant blemish on his reputation.

Ford's contribution to the auto industry and the assembly-line manufacturing innovation is undeniable, as is his impact on promoting hatred against an entire population of people.

For a short period of time on Monday the X account of Ford Motor Company posted three pro-Palestinian tweets that had nothing to do with the car company’s business.

“Free Palestine,” the first message read. Another followed a minute later: “Israel is a terrorist state.” Moments later, a third: “ALL EYES ON GAZA.”

The messages were soon deleted, and Ford said in a statement that they had not been permitted. It must have been some rogue Jew-hating employee with access to their X account.

“Our X account was briefly compromised and the previous three posts were not authorized or posted by Ford,” the company said. “We are investigating the issue, and apologize for any confusion caused.”

Posts like that might hurt their bottom line.

The X posts carried particular resonance because of Ford’s headquarters in Detroit, an area with a large Arab-American population where anti-Israel sentiment has been strong, and because of the company’s history of anti-Semitism emanating from its founder.

Some useful idiots and anti-Semites who saw the posts as screenshots of them circulated on social media applauded them. Others with a clear moral compass denounced the posts, with some speculating on the cause.

“Ford Motor Company must have been hacked by the Free Palestine movement,” tweeted Rep. Ritchie Torres, a pro-Israel Democrat from New York.

Doubtful they were hacked. It sounds like Joy Reid's Facebook account hacking story when she allegedly posted homophobic content.
