""The Franklin Prophecy", sometimes called "The Franklin Forgery", is an antisemitic speech falsely attributed to Benjamin Franklin, warning of the supposed dangers of admitting Jews to the nascent United States. The speech was purportedly transcribed by Charles Cotesworth Pinckney during the Constitutional Convention of 1787, but was unknown before its appearance in 1934 in the pages of William Dudley Pelley's Silver Legion pro-Nazi weekly magazine Liberation. No evidence exists for the document's authenticity, and some of the author's claims have actively been disproven."

"The first synagogue in Philadelphia, Mikve Israel, had expanded during the Revolutionary War to serve the many Jews who had left New York, Boston and other coastal cities occupied by the British. With the end of the war, they returned home, leaving the synagogue mortgage with the Philadelphia Jews, who appealed to their Christian neighbors for aid. Franklin, who had contributed generously to many area churches, was among the first contributors to the synagogue."

I 'm Irish, grew up in Philly...there is enormous evidence of all the contributions to early America from the Jewish community,...along with every other race that fought to give us freedom
There’s only 6 million Jews amongst 350 million Americans. If you assume they run the world, it’s because they are smarter than most as opposed to swarming in great numbers.

I've read thousands of pages on Franklin, and I call bull-shit.
