 Dib 'Ali Hasan, Encyclopedia of the Jews' Crimes, Damascus: At-Takwin, 2004 |
From the back cover: "This document is dated to more than 212 years. It warns of the dangerous danger of the Jews in America. The original copy of this document exists in the Franklin Institute, Philadelphia…. All of the chaos and the troubles in the USA today are made by the Jews".
EDITOR'S NOTE: The Franklin "Prophecy" is a classic anti-Semitic canard that falsely claims that American statesman Benjamin Franklin made anti-Jewish statements during the Constitutional Convention of 1787. It has found widening acceptance in the Muslim and Arab media, where it has been used to criticize Israel and Jews in news articles and statements.
