Dozens of hateful, anti-Semitic fliers were found in a pair of Kirkland neighborhoods recently.
Neighbors found Ziploc bags filled with vulgar fliers and weighed down with rice and beans on their doorsteps, walkways, and sidewalks. Although those who live in both areas are rattled, they say that’s what makes it so important for them to take a stand.
“We have to speak out against this,” Kirkland resident David Thielsen said. “Everyone in the community needs to take a stand and speak what is right and this is not right.”“It was horrifying,” Kirkland resident David Thielsen told KIRO 7. “I picked it up as trash and I glanced at it and saw what it was — it was a horrific, anti-Semitic statement.”
“To think that a child could pick something like that up, not only is it horrific; it’s just plain vulgar,” he addedRegional Director Miri Cypers says is becoming far too common among a handful of groups. “White supremacists or extremist groups will use propaganda to spread their messages of vitriol, conspiracy theories and hate, and they often do it to weigh down the message in different areas,” she told KIRO 7.“This is a group that is fiercely anti-Semitic,” she described. “They peddle in conspiracy theories and ideologym and they ultimately want to see a society in which Jewish people aren’t welcome and aren’t here.”“Call it out talk about it for what it is,” she said.
Cypers also tells KIRO 7 that Kirkland Police have been made aware of the situation and have been very supportive.
