Antisemitic canard about Jews controlling the world

Sirs,

I was astonished to read the article by your columnist Simon Tisdall ("Bush and Kerry dance to the tune of Ariel Sharon", Wednesday October 20th). When I read there that the leader of the Jewish state "has the world's only superpower dancing to his tune" and has the Bush administration "led by the nose", I have difficultly finding the dividing line between this article and the traditional antisemitic calumny about the Jews controlling the world. If there is such a dividing line, I would be grateful if the editors of the Guardian would clarify it for those of us who simply read the words on the page and draw the obvious conclusion.

Sincerely,

Ian Solomon
