I don't think Walt Disney ever said that He dislikes jews. That article the other person posted is a book that someone else wrote. Its probably because his mother was German American.
You know Henry Ford was Anti-Semitic. He even helped print up a newspaper, well more like a pamphlet, that was called " The Dearborn Independent" During the Weimar Republic in the early 1920s, the Protocols was reprinted and published in Germany, along with anti-Jewish articles first published by The Dearborn Independent and reprinted in translation in Germany as a set of four bound volumes, cumulatively titled The International Jew, the World's Foremost Problem. Vincent Curcio wrote of these books that "they were widely distributed and had great influence, particularly in Nazi Germany, where no less a personage than Adolf Hitler read and admired them." Ford is the only American mentioned in Mein Kampf. Steven Watts wrote that Hitler "revered" Ford, proclaiming that "I shall do my best to put his theories into practice in Germany, and modeling the Volkswagen, the people's car, on the model T.
I don't know if Walt Disney was or wasn't. I know he tried to help in WWII. I think its kinda funny that people want to smear Walt Disneys name but no one talks about Henry Ford. It hasn't been proven that Walt was and the book written against him really had no merit.

It just gossip created by conspirator form House Un-American Activities Committee. Conspirator always see three face straight (saz his theory it's true), but they don't care another 100 flip. His chance to become anti semit it's very small (Well he never state that, and not joining ku klux klan).
But speculator guy from House Un-American Activities Committee, love to point out every thing without deep analysis (Similar to medieval church that love to burn witches). Working in hollywood, you have to be politically correct all the time! Being anti semit actor? Look what happen to Mel Gibson.
My conclusion: Disney working in hollywood. He want have lot's of fan from every race, so he need to be politically correct. If he have anti Semite feeling, he will keep it in private.
