The American Jewish Committee has condemned an antisemitic image created with artificial intelligence that portrays Israeli journalist Barak Ravid as a puppet master controlling global events. The image, shared on social media, accuses Ravid of manipulating financial markets and governments through his reporting on the war involving Iran, echoing long-standing antisemitic conspiracy theories.

In a statement, the organization said the depiction revives centuries-old smears that portray Jewish people as secretly controlling political and economic systems for personal gain. It stressed that such bigotry has been repackaged with new technology and targeted at a Jewish journalist for doing his job.
