Multiple sources quote the December 26, 1847 notebook entry, in which Proudhon planned an article demanding the expulsion of Jews from France and the abolition of synagogues, so the claim's core is supported.

What was said

… Um, PJ. Prudhomme, I will end here. PJ. Prudhomme, uh, who actually came up with the word anarchism to describe his movement. I always liked him. He's an atheist, but everything else seems pretty solid. He also created the phrase, Property is theft. Now, this was only a note to himself, um, December 26, 1847. He's saying, you know, this is like a note. He says, Write an article he's talking to himself write an article against the race that poisons everything by sticking its nose into everything without ever mixing with any other people. Demand its expulsion from France. Abolish synagogues. Don't let them into any employment, demand its expulsion, pursue the abolition of this religion. It's not without cause that the Christians call them deists, the Jews, the enemy of man. The Jew must disappear by steel or by fusion or by expulsion. …

What we found

Supports. Proudhon's notebook entry dated December 26, 1847 reads 'Write an article against this race... Demand its expulsion from France... Abolish synagogues and not admit them to any employment,' as quoted by the Marxists.org archive and the HAL translation of his collected writings.[1][2]

Supports. Stewart Edwards, editor of the Selected Writings of Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, quotes the same December 26, 1847 entry from the Carnets, describing it as a proposed article calling for the expulsion of the Jews from France.[3]

Supports. Tablet Magazine and an academic review of Krier's research both cite the December 26, 1847 entry and its demand for expulsion, placing it among Proudhon's antisemitic writings.[4][5]

Context. The entry is framed as instructions to himself to write an article, which fits the claim's 'note to himself' wording; the entry also makes an exception for Jews married to French women, which the claim omits.[1][2][3]
