More anti-semitic fliers in OC

Daily Pilot Feb. 18, 2022

This isn’t the first time I have written about this topic. My guess is it won’t be the last time.

Anti-semitic fliers look familiar

It’s been less than a month since anti-semitic fliers were dropped in Florida and five other states. The fliers that appeared in Huntington Beach earlier this week are almost identical to the ones Miami Beach’s mayor called “hateful garbage.”

While it’s not clear if the distribution of the fliers locally was sponsored or endorsed by the KKK, it certainly is similar to that organization’s annual “outreach” playbook.

In 2014, residents of Orange woke up to find KKK fliers distributed in various neighborhoods. Last year the same thing happened in Newport Beach. I’m old enough to know these incidents are never going to stop; however, I wish those who feel compelled to distribute these anti-semitic fliers would do so in the light of day.

Stop hiding in the dark. If you are proud of what you have done, then let people of goodwill see your wretched faces.
