(Jewish Group) Dearborn, Michigan magazine editor fired for article about Henry Ford's anti-Semitism

(THIS IS THE JEWISH GROUP! RESPECT!!)

The editor of a quarterly journal published by the historical commission of Dearborn, Michigan was fired after he published an article about Henry Ford’s history of anti-Semitism in the publication’s 100th anniversary issue.

Dearborn Mayor John B. O’Reilly terminated the contract of The Dearborn Historian magazine editor Bill McGraw, and prevented the January issue of the magazine, paid for by the city, from being mailed out.

The cover includes a black and white photo of Ford next to the quote: “The Jew is a race that has no civilization to point to, no aspiring religion, no great achievement in any realm.”

“I think given what’s going on in the world today with the rise of anti-Semitism, what happened to Pittsburgh in October and with the 100-year anniversary of the paper last week, it’s important to know that’s still playing a huge role online with extremists. It seems if Dearborn is going to be proud of Henry Ford, we should look at the whole picture,” McGraw told The Detroit News.

O’Reilly in a statement released on Friday afternoon noted that Dearborn’s population is about one-third Arab-American and said publishing Ford’s offensive opinions “could become a distraction from our continuing messages of inclusion and respect.”


What the fuck is that supposed to mean?
