I'm not sure that Wikipedia is a reliable source

Fair enough, use your favorite search engine and search for "Franklin Prophecy", you'll find all the evidence you need. Here's Rational Wiki, just for one.

how do you explain the many other anti-Semitic Benjamin Franklin quotes that have been documented in history?

Propagandists make shit up. That's pretty much the definition of their job. If you want to know if a quote is genuine then try finding a source for it that predates the 20th century.

Do you have Wikipedia links purporting that everything Franklin said is false?

  1. I have neither the time nor the inclination to disprove every fairy-tale someone decides to post. The onus is upon you to back up your claims - if you expect them to be taken seriously.
  2. I subscribe to the belief that extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. If you want me to believe Franklin was an anti-semite you're going to need to have some iron-clad and indisputable evidence to that effect. I feel the same way about reported sightings of UFOs and Bigfoot.
