@comity What I remember is Ford helped publish a periodical, so it had his name on it, maybe the assumption was he was antisemetic, because there was nazi sympathesizing articles and antisemitism in the paper, but possibly he was not antisemetic himself? I’m not sure, I’ll try to research it.
Personally I feel grateful to live in a country that’s foundation is freedom of religion. I also, as an American, feel safe overall and free. I don’t come across antisemitism in my own life much really. I don’t feel endangered or discriminated against, except for a few moments in time, like when swastikas were drawn on a dorm at my school, or when the KKK marches where I live, that I feel very aware I am Jewish, and of the history of my people, and that there are some people who hate me without knowing me, but those are far and few between. Right now in America the Christians overall are very very supportive of the Jewish people, because of their support of Israel, so for now things are good.
Jews in America are so lucky. I never take my freedom or my citizenship for granted. When I hear some conservative wignut imply liberal are not patriotic it really bothers me, because the more recent immigrant tend to be Democrats and liberal and they least of everyone, take America for granted, including Jews who know the suffering many of our families went through before finding their way to America. My husband’s family is Mexican, and his father tells me how very different it is being Jewish in America compared to Mexico. Maybe it is better in Mexico now, but even when he was a child 60 years ago, it was pretty much ok in America to be Jewish, there was not a lot of antisemitism.
