Flyers spreading antisemitic stereotypes were reportedly found in multiple metro communities Monday morning, including neighborhoods in Hopkins, St. Louis Park and Minneapolis.
The message on the flyers plays into the trope that Jewish people control mass media, and includes multiple names and photos of Jewish CEOs and executives with a Star of David next to their names or on their faces.
The flyers, which were found in yards Monday morning, were placed in plastic bags and weighed down by corn.
The watchdog group StopAntisemitism posted about the incident on Twitter, noting the same group - Goyim Defense League - was responsible for this past weekend’s Nazi rally in Tampa.
Members of the white supremacist group 'Goyim Defense League' (GDL) target residents of St. Louis Park, MN over the weekend.
