Thanks for the link, Neo. Speaking for myself, I was appalled to learn that Nazi-type antiSemitic propaganda is published openly in government sponsored news outlets in Saudi Arabia and Egypt.

Here's an example from Arabnews.com:

>Historic proclamation of a philosopher
By 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.<<
