"A new #documentary, “Sapiro V. Ford: The #Jew Who Sued #HenryFord,” tells the story of #Jewish lawyer #AaronSapiro, who in the 1920s sued one of #America’s most famous #antisemites, industrialist Henry Ford, in U.S. District Court in downtown #Detroit.

The #libel #lawsuit led the #automaker to publicly apologize for his #antisemitic views and shut down his #newspaper, The #DearbornIndependent, which frequently published antisemitic material and attacked Sapiro, accusing him of being part of an international Jewish #conspiracy.

The #filmmakers describe the legal case as a milestone for American Jews and “the moment when #hatespeech went on #trial.” The case was framed as a battle of David and Goliath."

#Tice saying publicly that the people who were at school with #Farage are all liars is potentially expensive.
IANAL but he has enough money to be worth suing.

Here I am promoting [checks notes] the church times 😆

"THE making of a #documentary #film exploring the #history of the #Jewish #bloodlibel in #medieval #Norwich, and the cathedral’s involvement in perpetuating it, has led the Chapter to agree to remove 1990s information leaflets from the Chapel of the Holy Innocents.

The documents relate to the #murder in #1144 of 12-year-old William of Norwich, which was blamed on the Jewish community. The myth gained ground when a #Benedictine #monk, Thomas of Monmouth, accused the Jewish people of murdering #Christian boys so that they could use their blood in #ritual ceremonies. The #libel spread to #Europe, leading to the persecution and massacre of the Jewish people.

Modern versions of the myth have recently resurfaced in #Gaza."
