Flyers described as anti-Semitic are dropped in front of homes in Bozeman, Montana.
The incident Saturday morning is the second this month, though the actual flyers are different.
The Bozeman Police Department receives several phone calls about the flyers, the Bozeman Daily Chronicle reports. It is not clear whether the same person or group is responsible for the second distribution of flyers, which is not as extensive as those on May 6, Bozeman Police Department Sergeant Hal Richardson tells the local newspaper.
“It’s not the same flyer as before, but is anti-Semitic; the tone is the same,” Richardson says.
The flyer shows a photo of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and US President Donald Trump and includes what appears to be a fictional quote in which Netanyahu describes the US as a welfare state under Israeli control.
Police are not investigating any crime, saying that the flyers fall under the category of free speech.
Anti-Semitic flyers have been distributed in other areas of Montana, including Missoula and Whitefish, the site of a planned neo-Nazi march that was later called off.

We can't do this work alone.
The war with Iran has been draining for all of us in Israel. But when I heard about a high casualty incident – ballistic missile impacts in Arad and Dimona that left nearly 200 people wounded – I drank a cup of coffee, packed a bag, and headed south.
There, I spoke with Shilgit, the head of an after-school program for underprivileged youth. Standing outside her destroyed center, Shilgit said it was a miracle that no children were hurt and spoke about the community coming together in the hours since.
As a Times of Israel reporter, I’m committed to telling stories of resilience like Shilgit’s. But my colleagues and I can't do this alone. If you value work like this, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to keep real human reporting like this going.
