The New York trilogy. Halfway through I started thinking "why is this so bad?", got suspicious, checked wikipedia, and lo and behold I was actually correct.

I wonder if this isn't a case of Jews identifying themselves with negative stereotypes, e.g money grubbing goblins and manipulative subversives. In my mind, the character has to be explicitly semitic for it to count; the stereotypes themselves are not anti-semitic, or at least wouldn't be if they didn't keep on identifying with overtly immoral villains.
