Editorial cartoonists in the Arab world are using direct or borderline anti-Semitism in their portrayal of the presumptive US presidential candidates as lackeys of the Jews and Israel, according to a report from the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) issued Wednesday.

"The American elections have provided an excuse for the Arab media to promulgate perverse, bigoted and age-old conspiracy theories that portray Israelis and Jews as controlling the candidates," the ADL said.

“The US Presidential Candidates: Cartoons in the Arab Media” cites numerous examples appearing in newspapers across the Middle East. The ADL said the cartoons "ignore the issues of the campaign and instead engage in hate-filled characterizations of Jews and overt racist stereotypes".

ADL National Director Abraham H. Foxman said, “From Gaza to Ramallah, from Bahrain to Damascus, from Cairo to Riyadh, the press has unleashed a fusillade of virulent anti-Jewish images accusing Senators Barack Obama and John McCain as handmaidens of the Jews or the Israel lobby.”

"Once again, the Arab media does not miss an opportunity to promote classic anti-Semitic conspiracy theories of Jewish control over Washington, the media and the democratic process," he said.
