5.0 out of 5 stars Essential if Difficult Reading, July 19, 2007

This review is from: The International Jew (Paperback)

This is one of those books that is almost literally too hot to handle, except that it's not, really. Henry Ford has a peculiar place in the pantheon of American historical figures--he invented the modern assembly line and thus helped to popularize the automobile by making it affordable to the masses.

Around 1920 he published a series of articles on the subject of what he called "the international Jew", around which time he was quoted as saying that the Protocols of the Elders of Zion seemed to "match what was going on". One need not imagine the outcry--it continues to this day.

The question is--is the book worth reading? My answer has to be an emphatic yes. Wherever you stand on this issue, it is an essential work that must be considered in any study of so-called anti-semitism and its roots in America (as opposed to its much more complex and older roots in Europe.)

Having always thought of Henry Ford as the father of the automobile and not as a writer on world affairs it is interesting to say the least to read his thoughts on the so-caled "Jewish Question". Contrary to what we are led to believe by those who would prefer this book be burned rather than read, even critically, it is not in the form of a hateful screed (a trend I'm discovering is true of much allegedly "hateful anti-semitic" literature.)

Ford could hardly have provided modern historians with a better account of just what this "Jewish Question" was that so concerned him and others who have been unfairly labelled by history as simple "jew-haters". In his writing he is very much aware of the accusations (same then as now) that any interest in the study of Jewish group solidarity and power (both political and economic) must need be motivated by jealousy or historic-religious bigotry. In this we can all sympathize who have to contend with the gratuitous "anti-semite" smear when we do as little as take issue with the actions of AIPAC.

One problem no doubt stems from Ford's reliance on the Protocols that we are assured time and again are forgeries. Ford makes an excellent point however that whether forged or not they describe in some detail things that, from his vantage point between WWI and WW2, seem almost prophetic given their appearance as early as 1905 (they are nonetheless alleged to have been written in 1897 or thereabouts, speculated by many to have been authored by Theodore Herzl, the father of modern Zionism, with no evidence.)

While to the modern and enlightened reader much of Ford's writing will smell, if not actually read as quite possibly anti-jewish, perhaps most unfortunate is Ford's clear belief that the question of Jewish power in the world (i.e. independent of the states in which they reside) is of interest primarily to the dominant anglo-saxon racial majority in America whom are most threatened by what he sees as the Jews' much more developed sense of in-group identification and solidarity.

The modern and enlightened reader benefits of course from a more balanced approach to the issue of racial and ethnic conflict than possessed by Ford, who doubtless had much fewer problems with his "own people"'s subjugation of the native Americans than he has with what he sees as the subjugation of "his" people by a group better equipped than his to function in the emerging globalized world of his time.

What should be stressed here is that without understanding the representative points of view of the likes of Ford and, for that matter, Lindbergh, one can scarcely hope to evaluate with precision the claims of those who seem all too willing to cry "JOO-HATER!!" when even the smallest, most legitimate criticism of either Zionism, the state of Israel, or yes, even power brokers who happen to be Jewish, is raised.

5.0 out of 5 stars An American Must Read!!, September 7, 2008

By 

book man - See all my reviews

This review is from: The International Jew (Paperback)

Too late, because we didn't listen to Henry Ford, or Patton, or U. Grant, or Martin Luther. Now that the Jews control our media, our economy, Our Homeland security and are at the top of our government as "Dual Citizens" It's too late. This will explain how it happenned, as it serves as a warning we didn't heed. Referenced are the Protocols of Zion, which is also a must read for Americans and Christians. This explains how we look the other way as Israel exterminates Palestinians and we still allow them "Victim" status. A must read for Americans and Christians.

5.0 out of 5 stars Unpopular facts vilified as antisemitism, October 27, 2011

This review is from: The International Jew (Paperback)

Although many today will find this book "antisemitic", it is actually an honest attempt to reveal truths that have been kept hidden for many years. The phrase "antisemitic" has come to mean anything critical in any way of Jews or Israel, a phenomena which has come to hurt the moral standing of Jews in general, as people see criticism of the apartheid State of Israel condemned as "anti-semitic", and revolt against the obvious injustice of that label.
Facts are facts, and Ford presents an ironclad case for his positions. Call him an antisemite if you will; the Truth is there, and stands on its own regardless of what you call it.
