Historic proclamation of a philosopher (Arab paper spreads lie about Benjamin Franklin and Jews)
Arab News.com ^ | 3/29/02 | Abdullah Bajubeer

THE next time you see a $100 bill, have a look at the face on it — Benjamin Franklin, an early American patriot. As early as 1787, he warned of the danger of the Jews. Though I have read widely about the Jews, I have found no truer or more accurate an opinion than that of Franklin. His opinion was also shared by George Washington who became the first president of the United States.

Franklin said: “I agree completely with General Washington that we must protect this young nation from their influence. In every land the Jews have settled, they have depressed the moral level and lowered the degree of commercial honesty. They have remained apart and unassimilated, rejecting every attempt to absorb them and scorning Christianity on which this nation is built. They tried to sabotage it by objecting to its borders and creating a state within a state. They have attempted to wreak economic ruin upon every nation that has tried to challenge them; look at Spain and Portugal. If they are not expelled from these United States by the Constitution within less than a 100 years, they will stream into the country in such numbers that they will rule and destroy us and change the form of government for which we Americans have shed our blood and sacrificed our lives and property.”

Franklin goes on to say in his historic letter to the Continental Congress: “I warn you gentlemen, that if you do not exclude the Jews forever, your children and your children’s children will curse you from their graves. Their ideas will not be those of Americans even if they live among us for 10 generations. The leopard cannot change its spots. The Jews are a danger to this land, and if they are allowed to enter, they will imperil our institutions. They should be excluded by the Constitution.”

This historic proclamation came from a highly educated man that the British Department of Education calls multitalented; he was an artist, a philosopher, an author, a scientist, a diplomat and a leader in the area of civil rights, a scientist and researcher. America did not heed his words and what he said has come true in its entirety both in the US and in Palestine — where clearly the Jews have taken over. But Palestine is merely the beginning; the locusts will spread throughout Arabia.

On the other hand your Neo-Nazi/skinhead heroes..

Oh my. Rattled your cage, did I? I said the ADL is no different that neo-Nazis and skinheads. Let me take you through this slowly..THAT MEANS I DESPISE ALL THREE. Got it?

The other day freepers were defending Rahm Emanuel. Today they are defending the ADL. Times sure have changed around here.

The ADL is full of a bunch of twits. I recall, a couple years ago, you could go to their site and peruse through a couple pages of hate graphics with explanations as to what each graphic meant.

There were neo-Nazi, KKK etc. graphics in gif and bmp formats.

Problem was, the graphics were very clean, professional, and extremely well done….and there was nothing written over them….they weren’t defaced in any way….so, essentially, what these morons had done was to create several thousand dollars worth of pristine graphics for hate web sites.

I mean, if you ran a KKK web site, you would HAVE to go to the ADL site and download all these terrific hate symbols to your hard-drive. It would be like finding a web site full of all the MP3s that have ever been made of your favorite band’s music. It was a regular mother load.

Oh….and there wasn’t ONE ‘leftist’ hate group. Just the ‘right-wingers’ groups.

Might even build an ark. The end times will be upon us.

No need to build an ark. G-d told Noach that He wouldn't bring rain again...but barricading your house and stocking up?....maybe a bomb shelter. 8-)

An infamous forgery, long since proven such

I'd read that bit from Franklin before and thought it sounded a little out of character for him. I never looked into it further but was always curious.

It makes more sense now that I hear it is a bit of propaganda draped over an existing credibility.

I guess you really do learn something new everyday

HA!..never thought of that but it sure makes sense. The ADL is a business and without enemies they cease to exist. Might as well give the few out there a helping hand.

What is curious about this post is why anyone feels the need drag stuff over from the ADL to inform conservatives that skinheads and neoNazis are bad people. Sure looks like a put down of the people who post on this forum. What are we going to see next on FR? NAACP propaganda blaming conservatives for James Bird's death? A GLSEN tract blaming conservatives for killing gays?

You got me thinking. Wonder who wrote this trash about Ben Franklin in the first place. Cui bono? The ADL maybe? The SPLC pulls stunts like that all the time. Wouldn't put it past the ADL.

I think this was a Nazi forgery.

The time period is right for the Nazis. Be interesting to find out who did write it. Stalin is a possibility too. In the 70's the Soviets did vandalize Jewish cemeteries in the USA to stir up trouble and district attention from what they were doing to Jews (the ADL, of course, blamed the vandalism on conservatives).

According to the ADL, it was published by a fascist, and rabid Jew-hater... an American who ran a pro-Nazi newspaper, called "Liberation" or something. Deeply, deeply anti-capitalist, anti-communist, and anti-Jewish.

Did it work? People in that part of the world are more sophisticated when it comes to agitprop and agent provocateurs than Americans. At least they know it occurs. Most are stunned to find out it happens in the USA.
