More flyers found in Florida and Kansas blaming Jews for coronavirus

Flyers have been left in driveways in Clermont, Florida, and doorsteps in Wichita, Kansas, both of which make inflammatory allegations about Jews.

The Florida flyers were delivered in plastic bags weighed down with rocks and reportedly feature Nazi symbolism, including the Wolfsangel, which was used by various Wehrmacht and SS units fighting for the Nazis during the Second World War, and the Doppelete Sigrune, the logo of the SS.

The Wichita flyers were found in plastic bags, weighted down with sand.

Rabbi Michael Davis, of the Wichita-based Congregation Emanu-El, said that the flyers “[blame] Jews for COVID and for anti-COVID activities, as well as some of the nonsense about paedophilia. The problem is that these conspiracy theories often times lead to violence and that is what is concerning.”

These are just the latest incidents in a string of similar reports in recent months.
