I don't know about what Ford told Roosevelt. Can you explain or point me to a reference.

Yeah, I understand the distinction and agree with you. My readings about Ford Jr suggest that he was a non ironic and sincere friend to Israel and Jews, both. He spoke of reversing his grandfather's legacy of anti semitism.

Jew/neuroscientist here. I really don't care that Ford had Jewish friends or employees. His legacy was to use his position to amplify hate, bigotry and racism. It's complicated, but it's not hard to take a position on Ford's anti Semitism. Also watching a video cannot push someone further into dementia. Dementia does care what you do while it eats your brain.

OTOH, Ford's grandson, Henry II was a big supporter of Israel and made statements about atoning for his family's behavior.

I am friends with a hand surgeon. At home one weekend I severed the tendons that extend my fingers on a sharp metal edge. My friend fixed it. During the surgery he woke me up long enough to show me that he had repaired each tendon with different colored sutures and if I moved my fingers it would look just like that scene in T2 where Arnold demonstrated to the scientist that he was really a cyborg. He was right. It looked just like that. Very cool, but it's been heavy leather gloves around sheet metal since.
