Police are investigating after anti-Semitic fliers with a photo of Adolf Hitler on them were left outside homes on Wednesday morning in Boca Raton, Fla.

On the fliers, which were placed in plastic bags and filed with corn nibs, Hitler’s image was followed by the words, “Died fighting the human race’s eternal enemy, the Jew.”

The came on the birthday of the leader of Nazi Germany.

Boca Raton Mayor Scott Singer tweeted: “Angry that this AM a cowardly hatemonger left anti-Semitic and pro-Hitler flyers in driveways at homes on four streets in our city. We fully condemn this vile hate. Boca PD investigating. Unusual here; unacceptable anywhere. We stand strong and united against all bigotry and anti-Semitism.”

Rep. Ted Deutch (D-Fla.) also posted on social media about the incident, writing “these were ‘delivered’ to homes in Boca Raton, Fla.” on the fifth day of Passover. “Hitler attempted to eradicate the Jews from the earth. His Nazis slaughtered 6 million Jews.”

“This vile anti-Semitism must be universally condemned,” he continued. “And the cowards spreading this hate must be held accountable.”

Earlier this week, anti-Semitic fliers were left on homes in Beverly Hills and Pittsburgh’s Squirrel Hill neighborhood.

“Investigators are examining all possibilities, including whether the two incidents may be related,” a spokeswoman for the Toronto Police Service told JNS.
“I will proudly honor the families, the survivors, the first responders forever impacted by that horrific terror attack,” the mayor said.
A new CBS News-YouGov survey found Republicans leading Democrats by 2 percentage points on which party Americans trust more to handle Iran, even as most respondents said the conflict has been more difficult than the Trump administration expected.
“New Yorkers are refusing to normalize extremist hatred,” Jayne Zirkle, communications director for EndJewHatred, told JNS.
“Even if she had resigned just beforehand, the immediate transition from an independent U.N. mandate to partisan political office would still raise serious questions about her independence and impartiality,” according to Hillel Neuer.
“We’re seeing increasing links, perhaps increasing motivations, when it comes to terror plots,” State Department spokesperson Tommy Pigott said.
