Antisemitic flyers reappear in Bay Area

Antisemitic flyers have resurfaced on vehicles in Bay Area neighborhoods in recent weeks, according to residents and local authorities.

A resident in Oakland’s Adams Point neighborhood reported on Nextdoor this week that they found an antisemitic flyer on their car.

The flyer falsely blames the Jewish community for the federal government’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic, reading “every single aspect of the Covid agenda is Jewish.”

The flyer appears to have come from Goyim TV, an organization and website run by a Bay Area man, Jon Minadeo of Petaluma, who has previously taken responsibility for similar flyers distributed in the Bay Area and across the country. The flyers in Oakland were emblazoned with Goyim TV’s logo.

According to the Anti-Defamation League, Goyim TV is part of the Goyim Defense League, made up of “individuals connected by their virulent antisemitism.”

“As a descendant of Jews and lifelong Oaklander, this is pretty shocking and scary,” Danielle F. wrote on Nextdoor, alongside a photo of the flyer.

The Oakland Police Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Wednesday morning.
