The Anti Defamation League documented various antisemitic canards concerning Jews and banking,[46] including the myth that world banking is dominated by the Rothschild family,[2] that Jews control Wall Street,[1] and that Jews control the United States Federal Reserve.[47] The ADL has said the canard is traceable to the prevalence of Jews in the money-lending profession in Europe during the Middle Ages, due to a prohibition against Christians in that profession. The Protocols of the Elders of Zion repeat this canard.
