The SPLC and the Anti-Defamation League label Voz de Aztlán as antisemitic. Voz de Aztlán editorials contain statements in which the forementioned organizations have interpreted as anti-semitic, such as "The World Bank and the International Monetary Fund are offshoots of the Rothschild Jewish Banking Dynasty. International Jews also control most of the World Media which they utilize to brainwash the masses" [ [http://www.aztlan.net/eradicate_israel.htm World Leader Calls for the Eradication of Israel ] ] . When a La Voz de Aztlán editorial criticizes a Jewish person, their religion is often emphasized. [ [http://www.aztlan.net/razajews.htm La Raza and Jews on Collision Course in Alta California ] ] Voz de Aztlán also presents a translation of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion which is introduced in Spanish as evidence of a Jewish plan for world domination. [ [http://www.aztlan.net/protocolos.htm Los Protocolos De Los Sabios De Sion ] ] In a statement made on the death of Ilan Ramon in the space shuttle Columbia disaster, Carréon wrote,"God has cursed the Jews since time immemorial and they have been the curse of mankind since the beginning of written history. They are an extremely problematic group of people that have been dispersed throughout the globe never finding any genuine welcome in the nations they have settled in. Nation after nation have expelled them in almost every period of recorded history. Today, Israel is threatening the annihilation of our modern global civilization! Is the final War of Armageddon an inevitable event? Must we allow Zionist Israel to push the world towards this final end?"
