The Beverly Hills Jewish community is reeling after dozens of antisemitic flyers were distributed in Westside neighborhoods last weekend. Beverly Hills, Westwood, and Beverly Grove residents woke up on Oct. 23 to see pieces of paper, weighed down by plastic bags with dry rice, touting COVID-19 conspiracy theories and hateful antisemitic rhetoric.
“Every single aspect of the COVID agenda is Jewish,” the leaflets read, naming several prominent government officials, including CDC Director Rochelle Walensky. The papers were distributed just a day after a group of demonstrators, who were livestreaming at the time, hung banners over the 405 Freeway declaring, “Kanye is right about the Jews,” and the name of a well-known hate group that is believed to be behind the banners and flyers.
