Anti-Semitic flyers return to Montana town

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.
