Antisemitic flyers placed on cars again, this time in Chicago's West Ridge
CHICAGO -- Neighbors in another Chicago community woke up to antisemitic messages on their cars Monday morning – this time in the form of cardboard flyers.Similar situations have occurred in other parts of town recently. But this was the first time it had happened in the 50th Ward – and in a predominantly Jewish community in West Ridge.The community was quick to respond, with new flyers set down where the antisemitic notes were left.
I called the Mayor's office,' said Silverstein. 'The Jewish community is always on high alert. This doesn't help thigs, with antisemitism up close to 400%.'That statistic is according to a report published in December by the Anti-Defamation League. The Jewish advocacy group has tracked more than 2,000 antisemitic incidents since Hamas' attacks in Israel on Oct. 7 of last year.
