Anti-Semitism is widespread throughout the Arab and Muslim world, manifested in every segment of society. The following report is a compilation of select anti-Semitic expressions in the Arab and Muslim world in July 2004.

As in recent months, alleged Jewish/Israeli control of U.S. foreign policy continued as a major theme. With the upcoming presidential elections in the U.S., conspiracy theories about Jewish control of the Democratic and Republican parties appeared frequently. Newspapers continued to feature anti-Semitic caricatures and themes that include demonic images of Jews/Israel as animals, conspiracy theories of Jews plotting to control the world, and depictions of the stereotypical Jew (big nose, black coat and hat, skull cap etc.) along with Jewish symbols such as the Star of David.
