Henry Ford Right About Polish Jewish Relations
<3>The International Jew, by Henry Ford. 2007
Henry Ford Was Right About Polish-Jewish Relations: Bogus 1918-Era Pogroms and Their Modern Counterparts. Unilateral Sympathy for Jews, at Polish Expense, and Jews Largely Control the Narrative
Henry Ford advocated PROTOCOLS-style conspiracy theories involving Jews. To him, Jewish conduct itself was proof of the reality of the PROTOCOLS.
I do not do conspiracy theories. My review is limited to publicly-visible matters concerning Poles and Jews. Because Henry Ford had been a highly-successful WASP (White Anglo-Saxon Protestant) industrialist, one would not expect him to have any natural sympathy for Poles or Roman Catholics. It is therefore amazing to see his insights on the situation facing Poles at the hands of the Jews.
Owing to the fact that a century has passed since the publication of this much-condemned book, I deliberately compare the situation when THE INTERNATIONAL JEW was published (early 1920s), with the situation a century later—in 2019.
The quotes below are all from THE INTERNATIONAL JEW, Volume 2, Chapter 41 (“Why the Jews Dislike the Morgenthau Report”).

EARLY 1920’s: JEWS ARE PERPETUAL VICTIMS
Henry Ford comments, “Trouble between the Jews and other people is designated as trouble only when it begins to grow inconvenient for the Jew. It is then that he sends the cry of “persecution” around the earth, though the plain fact may be that he is only being nipped at his own game. The Poles saw how the Jews clung together in the most admirable teamwork, a minority absolutely controlling the majority because the minority formed a close corporation and the majority did not. So the Poles said: “We will take a leaf out of the Jews’ own book. They work co-operatively among themselves; we, therefore, will work co-operatively among ourselves.” Which they did, and at once the cry of “persecution” resounded loud and long; propaganda was begun against the good name of the Poles, more resentment followed, regrettable violence ensued, and the dispute still continues.”
2018 APPLICATION: THE 50TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE EVENTS OF MARCH 1968. JEWS AGAIN ARE VICTIMS
Communism had always been based on power and duplicity. When Jewish Communists held many leading positions in Communism, not a few Jewish academics and journalists sympathetically portrayed the Soviet Union, and little was said of the sufferings of Poles. But when ethnic Polish Communists such as Wladyslaw Gomulka turned the tables, and took away many (not all) of the Jewish privileges in 1968, Jews portrayed themselves as suffering under Communism, and all of a sudden Communism, in Jewish eyes, was something bad.

EARLY 1920’s: WHEN JEWS SUFFER, WE DO NOT HEAR THE END OF IT. WHEN NON-JEWS SUFFER, MUCH LESS (IF ANYTHING) IS SAID
With reference to the WWI German atrocities against Belgians, Henry Ford compares them with the media-hyped alleged Polish pogroms against Jews.
Thus, Henry Ford writes, “Jewish reports of these disturbances rarely go beyond the fact that Jews are suffering from certain acts of the Polish populace. Incident after incident is given with full detail, and with a very apparent journalistic appreciation of horror…From the days of Belgium onward, all races in Europe have suffered, and by sympathy all races in America have suffered with them, though it is a fact that we hear more, far more, about the sufferings of the Jews than of any other people.”
2019 APPLICATION: SELECTIVE ATTENTION TO JEWISH SUFFERING JUST AS IN 1920
We now have had four decades of Holocaust supremacism. Non-Jewish genocides are marginalized.
Holocaust materials discuss Poles denouncing or killing Jews. We never hear the same about Jews denouncing or killing Poles.
Because Jews lost their property in WWII, it is still a profound matter. And enter the Holocaust Industry. When Poles lost their property in WWII, the silence was and is deafening.
When Jews had their cemeteries desecrated or repurposed, we are still reminded of it. When the Poles had their cemeteries desecrated or repurposed, whoever even heard of that?

EARLY 1920’s: JEWS WANT TO CONTROL THE NARRATIVE
With reference to the discrediting of the 1918 pogrom horror stories about Poland, Henry Ford succinctly commented, “Mr. Morgenthau, apparently, put in too much of this background, though at that he put in very much less than the other investigators, except Mr. Samuel. Therefore, Mr. Morgenthau’s report was pigeonholed by American Jewry, because the facts make very poor material for the kind of propaganda which American Jewish leaders had in mind. Apparently they did not dare publicly to criticize or renounce his report; they simply passed it over. Captain Wright, who endeavored to put in all the background he could find to make Polish conditions comprehensible to the British people, has been handled insultingly by the Jewish press. They don’t want investigation. They want sympathy for themselves and denunciation for the Poles.”
2019 APPLICATION: JEWS WANT TO CONTROL THE NARRATIVE: THEY OPPOSE THE EXHUMATION OF THE DEAD AT JEDWABNE
It is exactly as a century ago, written by Henry Ford, “They don’t want investigation. They want sympathy for themselves and denunciation for the Poles.”

EARLY 1920’s: FANTASTIC POLISH POGROM HORROR STORIES IN THE PRESS
Henry Ford wrote, “And yet we read, even today in our newspapers, of ‘thousands and tens of thousands of Jews being slaughtered in Poland.’”
2019 APPLICATION: FANTASTIC HORROR STORIES OF 200,000 FUGITIVE JEWS KILLED BY POLES DURING THE GERMAN-MADE HOLOCAUST
Although it is not supported by any survey, statistic, or detailed analysis, the tale of as many as 200,000 fugitive Jews, killed by Poles, is being repeated by the media as fact. They quote the likes of Jan T. Gross, Jan Grabowski vel Abrahamer, and Barbara Engelking, as gospel truth.

EARLY 1920’s: EXPANSIVE JEWISH DEMANDS OF POLAND FOR SPECIAL RIGHTS (AS PER MINORITIES TREATY) THAT WOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN DEMANDED OF ENGLAND
Henry Ford cuts to the quick as he writes, “If the Jews in England—after multiplying their numbers by twenty or thirty—demanded that the Jewish Board of Guardians should have extensive powers, including the right to tax for purposes of emigration, and that a separate number of seats should be set aside in the London County Council, the Manchester Town Council, the House of Commons, and the House of Lords, to be occupied only by Jews chosen by Jews; that the president of the board of education should hand over yearly to the Jews sums proportionate to their numbers; if some were to demand the right to have separate Jewish law courts, or at least to be allowed to use Yiddish as well as English in the King’s Bench and Chancery Division; if the most advanced even looked forward to a time when the Bank of England notes were to be printed in Yiddish as well as in English, then they might well find public opinion, even in England, less well disposed to them * * *”
2019 APPLICATION: HISTORY BOOKS STILL UNILATERALLY BLAME POLAND FOR EVERYTHING NEGATIVE IN POLISH-JEWISH RELATIONS
Because Poland did not give the Jews all they wanted back in the 1920s and 1930s, history books routinely portray Poles as backward, bigoted, primitive, and (what else?) anti-Semitic. We never hear the other side of the story.

EARLY 1920’s: ENDLESS, OFTEN-VICIOUS POLONOPHOBIC ACCUSATIONS
Henry Ford asks, “Do you say, in view of what has been said about the whole situation, that the Jews are showing anything besides a wicked and gloating spirit of revenge in the way they have propagandized against Poland after humiliating her in the Peace Conference?”
2019 APPLICATION: ENDLESS POLONOPHOBIC ACCUSATIONS
Hardly a week goes by that there is not yet another Jewish-authored book, newspaper or internet article, etc., that blames Poland for this or that. We still hear racist accusations, such as “Poles drink anti-Semitism with their mother’s milk”.
On the other hand, insofar as Poles agree with Jewish accusations, or give in to Jewish demands, the Poles are praised. This is the classic PEDAGOGIKA WSTYDU (the politics of shame) in action.
CONCLUSION:
A century has passed since Henry Ford wrote this much-condemned work. The more things change, the more they remain the same.
