More hateful words targeting the Jewish community showed up on the side of a building on New Year’s Eve, this time in downtown Orlando.
Cell phone video showed the words “vax the Jews” scrolling across the top of an office building on Orange Avenue at Washington Street as well as “Hitler was right” on the Fairwinds Credit Union building at 135 West Central Blvd.
During the brief video, no one in the crowd reacted to the act of antisemitism.
The Jewish advocacy group that monitors antisemitism - StopAntisemitism - tweeted one of the projections, noting the group responsible was the white supremacist group ‘Goyim Defense League’ headed up by known antisemite Jon Minadeo II.

The owner of a restaurant on the bottom floor of the building where the hateful words were displayed suspected they were projected from a nearby parking garage. Orlando Police said they are investigating.
