Dozens of hateful, antisemitic fliers were found in a pair of Kirkland neighborhoods in Washington recently.
The advocacy organization fighting antisemitism - StopAntisemitism - has attributed the antisemitic flyers to the Goyim Defense League (GDL). The league travels the country distributing these hateful flyers targeted Jewish communities.
Neighbors found Ziploc bags filled with vulgar fliers and weighed down with rice and beans on their doorsteps, walkways, and sidewalks. Although those who live in both areas are rattled, they say that’s what makes it so important for them to take a stand.
“We have to speak out against this,” Kirkland resident David Thielsen said. “Everyone in the community needs to take a stand and speak what is right and this is not right.”
Thielsen found a several fliers in the South Rose Hill neighborhood.
“It was horrifying,” Kirkland resident David Thielsen told KIRO 7. “I picked it up as trash and I glanced at it and saw what it was — it was a horrific, antisemitic statement.”
“To think that a child could pick something like that up, not only is it horrific; it’s just plain vulgar,” he added
