(Jewish Group) Racist, antisemitic fliers dropped in Virginia neighborhood before MLK Day

Racist and antisemitic fliers published by the Ku Klux Klan were delivered in a Virginia neighborhood.

The fliers were placed in plastic baggies and held down with a piece of candy on the doorsteps of homes in Leesburg, Virginia over the weekend.

One of the fliers reads “Join the United States Army and Fight for Israel.” The caricature shows an American soldier standing in front of a balding, bulbous nosed man in plaid shorts holding an Israeli flag. It also accuses Jews of controlling the media and provides a list of “high ranking Jews who control the media.”

Another flier reads “On Martin Luther King Day you are honoring a Communist alcoholic pervert.” The flier is addressed to Loyal White Knights and provides a web address for a KKK website.

Oh my. Maybe someone can 'splain to us how these fliers aren't anti-Semitic because they are "about Israel" and we don't know "the motivations" of those who distributed the fliers.
