Lafayette, CA – Jewish
community members are rattled and annoyed after finding about a hundred antisemitic
fliers pinned to car windshields at the Lafayette BART Station.
The
fliers, which refer to the Jewish community as “serpeants” and
advocate seperating them from children, were found littering the ground and
attached to cars Tuesday evening in several of BART’s parking lots after 6:30
p.m.
The
culprit appears to be the owner of a blog that targets individial members of
the Jewish community in Lafayette, identifying them by name and categorizing
them as “jews.” The blogger posted on the site that
his purpose is to point out “what Jewish cults have done to my country, my
county and my family!” and to “brow beat ’em, flog ’em and harrass
’em.”
