Residents of Colleyville, Texas, the community where a rabbi and three of his congregants were held hostage for 12 hours at the local synagogue last month, woke up over the weekend to find antisemitic flyers on their driveways and yards.

The flyers, which were strewn about the town in plastic zip-top bags with pebbles in them to weigh them down, were similar to ones that have been distributed in several cities across the country since last year, according to local reports. They have often been distributed by members of the antisemitic Goyim Defense League group.

The town’s synagogue, Congregation Beth Israel, released a statement Sunday condemning the flyers and said some members of the synagogue had found the flyers on their properties.

“We understand that the Colleyville Police Department and the FBI are investigating, and their involvement brings comfort. We are hopeful that the individual(s) responsible will be identified and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Circulating hate speech cannot be taken lightly,” the synagogue said.

I don't know if these are the same flyers that are popping up all over the country, but to have them appear in the city where just weeks ago Jews were held hostage is disgusting and frightening.

1. Surely

someone has a security camera that could help take down these criminals.

8. That is my thought as well.

And, if there are not any, then it is time for some good old detective work. People like this cannot keep their mouths shut. It is just a matter of finding out who is talking.

5. Want to really scare these thugs (and at the same time, find out who distributed these

pieces of trash)? Simply say on the news media that "authorities are currently trying to locate the perpetuators, being that some names were apparently left on the flyers accidently".

I'll bet you that someone(s) will be scrambling their a&&es out of town fast.

Obviously, someone has been following some of the Temple members to their homes so stalking should be charged against these thugs, as well hate crimes. Also, if true, that these circulars have been popping up in various locations in the US, then a roster of those staying in local hotels/motels might also reveal clues as to who doing this crap. FBI should be involved, perhaps??

6. If I recall correctly, there were around 26 January 6 insurrectionists from Texas.

Several live in and around Colleyville, which used to be a mostly white enclave near Dallas but now has the white supremacists there fuming because minorities have moved there. I think this is the same area where a white parent claimed that making black kids feel included in a mostly white school actually harmed white kids. Who knew! They got the black principal of the school fired.

9. The hostage taker was not a white supremacist though

7. If you google "antiseptic flyers"

You will be amazed at how much of this stuff is going on all over the country.
