Civil rights group says fliers from 'virulently anti-Semitic group' showing up all around Twin Citie

A leading civil rights organization says it has learned of the distribution of troubling fliers in many Twin Cities-area communities from supporters of a "virulently anti-Semitic group."

The fliers are headlined "Every single aspect of the media is Jewish." They include photos of the CEOs of major entertainment companies with a Star of David added on each of their foreheads.

American Jews running the news and entertainment media is an anti-Semitic trope that has been promulgated for a century or more.

In a statement Monday, the Jewish Community Relations Council (JCRC) for Minnesota and the Dakotas said it has documented the fliers since July 1 in Minneapolis, St. Paul, St. Louis Park, Hopkins, Edina, North Oaks, New Brighton, Cottage Grove and Arden Hills.

The JCRC said the fliers have been distributed by supporters of the Goyim Defense League, "a virulently anti-Semitic group, whose nefarious activities are well documented by the ADL [Anti-Defamation League]." The flier includes a web address where anti-Semitic videos are posted.

Similar flier distributions have occurred elsewhere in the country including Maryland, California and Florida. As in those states, the fliers in the Twin Cities were in plastic bags weighed down with corn kernels so the bags could be tossed from vehicles without blowing away in the wind.
