US embassies around the world are involved in a Twitter campaign called 50 States in 50 Days (#50in50).
A few days ago, the state was Michigan, and all US Embassies – including the one in Israel – thought it a good idea to tweet quotes from Michigan’s own Henry Ford – American industrialist, Ford founder and author of The International Jew.
“Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently.” #Michigan’s Henry Ford. goo.gl/IEbAu #50in50

I guess it could have been worse. They could have tweeted something like this:
“There is no such thing as anti-Semitism. There is only a very little and a very mild anti-Jewism.” #Michigan’s Henry Ford

Alas, Ford is in a Better Place.

Henry Ford also said, “History is bunk,” which seems to have struck a responsive chord at the U.S. embassy.
That’s pretty much what Shimon Peres once said.
99% sure it wasn’t accidental. Hillary Clinton receives her instructions from Obama who receives his from the Muslim Brotherhood.
Ford is such a controversial figure. He was a rabid anti-semite, and is believed to have financially supported Hitler (Ford in Europe continued to operate during WWII), and outside of mechanics, was a complete idiot. How wonderful he still gets quoted. Oy vey.
It’s very interesting that Shelly Yachimovich also quoted him on her Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150994036359218&set=a.216050819217.130874.162319074217&type=1
Anyone who has ever bought a Ford car is not in much of a position to decry the Tweeting, albeit stupid as most Tweeting is, of these innocuous utterances of Henry Ford by our State Department. Henry Ford was a big-time antisemite, but this Tweeting thing is of no consequence.
