Anti-Semitic leaflets calling on “white Australia” to take action against Jews have been distributed in houses of a predominantly Jewish neighborhood of Sydney.
Residents of the suburb of Bondi found the hand-delivered fliers slipped under their front doors and in their mail boxes on Monday.
The fliers claimed that Jews control: “all Hollywood studios and 97% of US newspapers and media.”
It also alleged that, “Jews have been kicked out of countries 109 times throughout history… Could it be that having them in a European country is harmful to the host????”
The mail concluded with an invitation to join Squadron 88, a local white power group. The ‘About’ section on the hate group’s Facebook page reads: “squadron 88 is a NSW based group , the …… man was the tiller of the soil, this is our land. FIGHT FOR YOUR KINSMEN AND NATION”.
Australia, like several other countries in the world, has witnessed an increase in anti-Semitism. Earlier this month five teenagers were arrested in Sydney after storming a private school bus and taunting Jewish children with anti-Semitic slurs and threatening to slit their throats.
