(Jewish Group) Anti-Semitic provocateurs paper Modesto church

(THIS IS THE JEWISH GROUP! RESPECT!!)

Anti-Semitic hate flyers were posted at a Modesto church last week. The church, the College Avenue United Church of Christ, organizes highly visible “Love Your Neighbor” vigils each month, expressing support for Muslims and Jews.

“I think we were targeted for our message,” Pastor Michael Schiefelbein said. “It’s scary.”

The three hate-filled flyers were discovered Friday, Oct. 11, Schiefelbein said, on the door of the sanctuary, as well as on a nearby traffic sign and fence of a preschool building.

The flyers contained the phrase “brought to you by your local Stormer book club,” a reference to local collectives that support a neo-Nazi website edited by alt-Right activist Andrew Anglin. Anglin was profiled in a controversial December 2017 cover story in The Atlantic magazine called “The Making of an American Nazi.”

The Daily Stormer website trucks in wild conspiracy theories and attacks against Jews and is, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center, the “most read hate site in the world.” Last month the SPLC reported the site was shut down because Anglin failed to pay web hosting fees. It was subsequently moved to the so-called dark web, which provides access to shadowy internet content not normally reachable on mainstream browsers.
