“A neighbor in Mount Pleasant found this poster on Irving Street this morning. It is rather disturbing. Does anyone know who is posting these anti-semitic posters?”
Unfortunately these fliers have been posted around D.C. for years.

“This was posted in my neighborhood group. Someone is putting these anti-Semitic fliers up around D.C. Comes on the heels of @councilofdc looking the other way from hate speech.”
Sadly it comes in many forms.

Regarding the Council:

Also worth noting that @TrayonWhite, whose conspiracy mongering started the anti-Semitism controversy in DC politics and hasn’t said anything about a supporter calling a colleague a “fake Jew,” is the only lawmaker absent from this DC Council breakfast

“We have to regularly say hate speech is not acceptable in our community,” says Council member @BrianneKNadeau, one of two Jewish members. Interestingly, she and Trayon White were the only lawmakers who declined to comment on our story about the “fake Jews” comments at rally
