The always good, always right, never make mistake chosen tribe makes sure opposite views are censored and suppressed.

"The controversy began last fall when the Jewish Telegraphic Agency, a news service, reported that Ford money had supported several groups that engaged in anti-Israel activities at a 2001 United Nations conference."

"In November, after meeting with Jewish leaders, Ford announced it would cut funding for a group called the Palestinian Society for the Protection of Human Rights, and would add language to grant agreements prohibiting recipients from promoting violence, terrorism, bigotry or calls for the destruction of any nation-state."

"Jewish groups reiterated this week that they consider the foundations' steps reasonable. They also emphasized that, as private entities, the foundations can attach any strings they wish to their contributions."

""My first reaction was that this was a bit of a scare tactic, that if universities are in fact sponsoring or promoting film festivals which in some way celebrate violence or bigotry, then perhaps they've begun to lose their moral compass," said David Harris, executive director of the American Jewish Committee."
