(Jewish Group) Montgomery County police investigate antisemitic fliers
Montgomery County police Monday were investigating weighted-down fliers that residents said were distributed around multiple blocks in Silver Spring, Md., and directed people to an antisemitic website.
The fliers were put in plastic bags weighed down with rocks or corn kernels and tossed in front of dozens of homes in the middle of the night Saturday, said residents of the Forest Estate neighborhood.
The fliers included an image of a syringe and a QR code directing people to a website promoting Holocaust denial and support for Adolf Hitler, residents said.
Newsweek reported Monday that dozens of fliers “containing antisemitic conspiracy theories that the coronavirus pandemic was started by the Jewish community” were found over the weekend in areas of California and North Carolina. The fliers were distributed in Greensboro, N.C., as well as in Pasadena and Beverly Hills, Calif., late Saturday night and into Sunday morning, Newsweek reported.
