According to FrontPage magazine, "American philanthropic organizations have given substantial amounts of money to Palestinian charities over the years, but their dollars may have funded a great deal more than charity. There is reason to believe that some of this money may have gone from philanthropic foundations, through Palestinian NGO's, into the hands of terrorist organizations. The Ford Foundation is one philanthropic group whose money has made its way, through various twists and turns, into terrorists' hands."
The article notes that "the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) informed U.S. tax-exempt organizations that if they partnered with Palestinian NGO's, those NGO's would be required to sign a Certification Regarding Terrorist Financing. This statement vows that no funds ever have been given or ever will be given to terrorist groups."
But according to a Palestinian official, "Ford does not make us sign this agreement." Why not?
Wasn't the senior Ford, who started the Ford conglomerate a Nazi sympathizer? Well... some things (perhaps) are genetic, especially hatred for the Jews. I'm sure the Ford Foundation is very much aware of where their money is spent, and how it is spent. Aware or not, they are accountable....
Larry is absolutely correct. I suggest reading Max Wallace's new book "The American Axis." Truly Ford as an organization is one of the historical promoters of fascism and hate in the United States. Given their push in the market for high oil consuming SUVs as well, I would expect nothing less than the worst in morality from the Ford organization, that has not paid for its crimes against humanity (including having slaves to work in factories in Europe to support Nazis).
