San Francisco appears to be the latest city targeted by antisemitic fliers over coronavirus measures.
Aurora, who is Jewish and asked ABC7 News keep her last name private, noticed the offensive fliers while on a walk Sunday morning. She reported the fliers to the Anti-Defamation League , which tracks antisemitic incidents.
"The fliers lean on old antisemitic tropes that blame the Jewish community for the ills of society," Teresa Drenick, the ADL's Deputy Regional Director, told ABC7 News."And it is important to call out antisemitism when we see it. We cannot sweep that under the rug." Drenick said the same fliers were also reported over the weekend in Chico, Calif. and several other states, including Florida, Texas, Colorado, Maryland, Wisconsin and Florida. Nearly identical fliers were found in Southern California last month.
The ADL said they are aware of the group behind the fliers. They said it's a loosely organized extremist group that espouses vitriolic antisemitism and white supremacist themes online. The leader is based in Sonoma County.
