(Jewish Group) Bay Area antisemitic leader allegedly spotted terrorizing guests at Beverly Hills Hil
A group of men dressed in Nazi paraphernalia, among them a Bay Area leader of a known antisemitic organization, were allegedly seen harassing individuals throughout Los Angeles County, including at a West Hollywood gas station and at a Beverly Hills Hilton hotel.
The group sparked fury last weekend after being spotted driving around in a box truck painted with antisemitic, white supremacist rhetoric, making references to the “great replacement” conspiracy theory, a white supremacist myth that immigrants and ethnic minorities are “replacing” America’s white population.
The acronym “GDL” was reportedly painted on the truck, a seeming reference to the Goyim Defense League — a group classified by the Anti-Defamation League as a network that “espouses vitriolic antisemitism and white supremacist themes via the internet, through propaganda distributions and in street actions.” One of the individuals was identified by the group StopAntisemitism as Jon Minadeo Jr., the Petaluma-based leader of the GDL.
According to the Los Angeles Times, Minadeo and a group of men were spotted at the Beverly Hills Hilton on Saturday in what appeared to be outfits similar to Nazi brownshirts, parading around the hotel and shouting, “Here comes Jew boy … we’re going to make you go extinct.”
