"Let us be peace and joy"
Tom Feeley
| 
In
the Hebrew year 2448 (1312 BCE), Moses sent 12 men -- one from each
tribe -- to scout out the Land of Israel. Their mission seemed rather
innocuous: devise a strategy for battling the Canaanites and for
settling 3 million Jews in the new land. In Israel, God showed the spies
encouraging signs that the land is plentiful and rich -- e.g. clusters
of grapes so enormous that eight men were needed to carry it (Numbers
13:23). God also made sure the spies encountered heavily fortified
Canaanite cities -- which in fact is a sign of Canaanite weakness, since
the truly powerful do not need to hide behind walls. Yet after 40 days,
the spies came back and recommended against entering the land. The Jews
accepted the report, and as a consequence, God said: Because you don't
want to enter the land, then all Israelites will die out over the next
40 years in the desert, and only your children will enter the land. The
spies delivered their negative report on the calendar day of Tisha B'Av.
Hundreds of years later, the destruction of the First Temple occurred
on Tisha B'Av, and 500 years after that, the Second Temple was also
destroyed on Tisha B'Av. Today, Tisha B'Av is observed as a national day
of mourning for the Jewish people.
In 1920, Henry Ford issued an "apology" for publishing excerpts from the Protocols of the Elders of Zion in his newspaper, Dearborn Independent. Protocols
is an anti-Semitic forgery purporting to be the conspiratorial
discussions of the Jewish elders plotting to take over the world. Thanks
in large part to Ford, Protocols was -- next to the Bible -- the best-selling book in the world during the 1920s. The Independent also published, in Ford's name, several anti-Jewish articles; these were published in the 1920s as a 4-volume set entitled, The International Jew, the World's Foremost Problem.
These books were distributed through Ford's car dealerships. Prior to
World War II, Ford lavished praise on Adolf Hitler and the Nazi
philosophy, and there is evidence that Ford gave Hitler direct financial
backing. In 1938, Ford was awarded (and accepted) the Grand Cross of
the Order of the German Eagle, Nazi Germany's highest honorary award
given to foreigners. Even today, Ford's writings are used as propaganda
by neo-Nazi groups.
