Were America's founding fathers Anti-Semites or Patriotic?

Or Both?

GEORGE WASHINGTON: "They (the Jews) work more effectively against us, than the enemy's armies. They are a hundred times more dangerous to our liberties and the great cause we are engaged in... It is much to be lamented that each state, long ago, has not hunted them down as pest to society and the greatest enemies we have to the happiness of America. (From The Maxims of George Washington by A. A. Appleton & Co.) "

BENJAMIN FRANKLIN: "I fully agree with General Washington, that we must protect this young nation from an insidious influence and impenetration. The menace, gentlemen, is the Jews. "

THOMAS JEFFERSON: "Dispersed as the Jews are, they still form one nation, foreign to the land they live in. (From 'THE AMERICANS' by D. Boorstin)"

In case you didnt notice. Its well documented that most people back then were bigots and racist. Its the way it was back then. Those comments don't suprise me at all.

What's the point exactly? Just stirring up some good stew?

at the time when all those qutoes were said, black people counted as 3/5 of a person for the purposes of Congress representation

those quotes were not stated against Jews for a genuine reason...it was because of a general state of ignorance at the time

No No, not an attempt to stir the pot sir. I was just looking at some old quotes and was surprised by them. Its also surprising how opinions now differ drastically thanks to Political Correctness and Diversity
