Anti-Semitic flyer in German tram blames Jews for the COVID pandemic

Anti-Semitic flyers were found Wednesday on a tram in Cologne, Germany, blaming Jews for the ongoing pandemic.

The black-and-white flyer reads: “Do we really have a Corona problem? Or do we have a Jewish problem?” with a Star of David in the background next to the names of three prominent German politicians — Chancellor Angela Merkel, Health Minister Jens Spahn, Minister of Foreign Affairs Heiko Maas — and virologist Christian Drosten.

None of them are Jewish, but the flyer claims they are.

“The more Jews in politics and media, the worse things are!” it reads.

Seems the "Jewish Problem" is always in the minds of extremists and conspiracy theorists.

I am surprised they didn't mention the space laser. Next flyer I guess. Scapegoating just seems to be an all too natural human tendency.
