Right wing TV network Fox News has deleted an antisemitic cartoon of Jewish financier George Soros as a sinister puppet master figure.

The network deleted the cartoon after pressure from the Anti-Defamation League, an anti-hate organization based in the US.

The ADL accused fox of “casting a Jewish individual as a puppet master who manipulates national events for malign purposes.”

The group released a statement via twitter saying: “As we have told @FoxNews numerous times, casting a Jewish individual as a puppet master who manipulates national events for malign purposes conjures up long-standing antisemitic tropes about Jewish power + contributes to the normalization of antisemitism, this needs to be removed.”
