Antisemitic flyers distributed to Greensboro, NC Jewish community, ETA: Montgomery County in MD
Antisemitic flyers were distributed to members of the Greensboro Jewish community in North Carolina on Sunday morning.
The flyers featured conspiracies about blaming the Jewish community for COVID-19 and the nation's efforts to combat its spread, reported by local North Carolina news station Channel 2.
The flyers were sent to both Jewish and non-Jewish households along with their newspapers.
Local Fox affiliate Channel 8 received photos of the flyers but did not share the whole flyer to prevent the continued spreading of these antisemitic claims. The picture does show the flyer is titled "every single aspect of the Covid agenda is Jewish" and is placed between a Star of David and a pentagram.

Montgomery County police investigate antisemitic fliers
Montgomery County police Monday were investigating weighted-down fliers that residents said were distributed around multiple blocks in Silver Spring, Md., and directed people to an antisemitic website.
The fliers were put in plastic bags weighed down with rocks or corn kernels and tossed in front of dozens of homes in the middle of the night Saturday, said residents of the Forest Estate neighborhood.
The fliers included an image of a syringe and a QR code directing people to a website promoting Holocaust denial and support for Adolf Hitler, residents said.
Newsweek reported Monday that dozens of fliers “containing antisemitic conspiracy theories that the coronavirus pandemic was started by the Jewish community” were found over the weekend in areas of California and North Carolina. The fliers were distributed in Greensboro, N.C., as well as in Pasadena and Beverly Hills, Calif., late Saturday night and into Sunday morning, Newsweek reported.
