Community, leaders condemn anti-Semitic flyers found in Missouri City: 'We can rise beyond racism'

MISSOURI CITY, Texas (KTRK) -- Fort Bend County Judge KP George is condemning anti-Semitic flyers found in a Missouri City neighborhood.

Police said on Wednesday, Missouri City Police Department received a call from a resident who was walking through his neighborhood in what's called the Plantation area.

The resident found about 84 clear plastic bags that were of different colors. Some of the bags contained beans or rice inside, along with two different types of flyers. One had a flyer referencing the agenda of COVID-19 and allegedly blaming Jewish people. Another bag had two flyers, and some of those flyers referenced a religious practice.

Neighbors told ABC13 they were shocked, heartbroken and scared. A very concerned resident agreed to speak with ABC13 but did not want to share their name due to fear of retaliation.

More trump racist and anti-Semitic fallout.

Plus, some of the information on the flyers is incorrect.

Let's hope the perpetrator(s) are caught quickly.

his cult? Why would any Jews be friendly with the GQP. Same with Latinos (yeah I'm looking at you Texas) and any other POC. Shakes head. Same shit, the republicans who vote against their own interest I guess to own the Libs.

Bibi and TFG are both corrupt as hell. I kept hearing stories about Bibi at my temple for over ten years.

is because of the role it plays in right wing evangelical apocalyptic fantasies. And spoiler alert: things don't end well in those fantasies for anyone who refuses to accept Jesus Christ as Lord.

Good people do not need to rise above racism. Those of human virtue and morality already soar far above beyond racists.

What is needed is a societal stomping down racism.
A scolding, shaming, shunning, scorning, sacking, slap-down of everyone who shows such sickness.

And no, the goodness of anyone is not diminished when they sweep out the trash.

could vote a criminal sexual predator racist into the highest office in this country and rise above 403 years of racism, anti-Semitism, bigotry, they would and they can't respectively. Many, too many can't rise. Too much generational hate is passed down to their children. It's almost like they have hate in their DNA.

I don't know if this a organized effort (possible, but I think unlikely) or if this is the work of "lone wolves" who downloaded the flyers from Reddit and saw what happened in Austin (where it appears to have originated) and decided to do the same in their communities. Of course, most of the info is incorrect, as if facts matters to these types (they don't). It is a bit disconcerting because I feel it is signaling a rise in casual anti-Semitism, which can be devastating in the long term. It is a shame we are targeted in this way, just as it is a shame that every time an anti-Semitic attack occurs against American Jews, someone always feels the fucking need to mention Israel; and people wonder why the parallels are drawing in that arena.

Anti-Semitism, always wrong...except when it isn't.

Ever had so much going on inside you that you wanted to say that it comes out in a rushed jumble?

I've been typing and deleting for the past 5 minutes.

Lot of anger. Disgust. Exhaustion.

I'm so sick of the bigoted ass-wipes.

After the past two weeks I have had, I am just glad I am not a good typist and haven't been banned here for taking out my anger in the wrong (OK, sometimes justifiable) place.

I read one clueless comment too many and needed to log off.

Typed out "and you can go fuck yourself" to end a reply yesterday and it didn't even register with me until I did my usual preview read before hitting post my reply.

I clicked the X (open tab) and shut it all down. It was time for me to go do something else.



Are you OK? (the past two weeks?)
