Ormond Beach, CA – Residents of Riverside Drive in Ormond Beach say Monday anti-Jewish flyers were dropped along their street with a headline that claims “Every single aspect of the COVID agenda is Jewish.”
Below the headline was a list that identifies over a dozen national public officials as being members of the Jewish faith.
“It’s sad,” said retired Jewish Rabbi Barry Altman who received one of the flyers outside his home.
Altman says while he’s disappointed, he’s not surprised because anti-Semitic activity is on the rise
“I was disappointed that here in Ormond Beach people are targeting the general population with these ridiculous assaults on logic and reasonability,” Altman said.
The back of the flyer features the headline “Let’s Go Brandon” which is a reference to an anti-President Joe Biden phrase.
As for who dropped off the fliers, they appeared to be associated with the GOYIM Defense League.
According to the anti-defamation league, the group is comprised of anti-Semites and white supremacists who in recent months have been holding propaganda campaigns all over the country.
According to Carla Hill, associate director of the Center of Extremism for the Anti-Defamation League: “They seek ways to troll the Jewish community and other minorities and they distribute the propaganda or hold tours where they troll and harass the community.”
The ADL says those who pass out the propaganda are rarely charged with a crime because they are skilled at hiding behind the first amendment.
Rabbi Altman says the most helpful way for the community to respond to the anti-Semitism is to express its support for those targeted
“I know the overwhelming majority of people think this is wrong and it’s unfair,” Altman said.
