Law enforcement officials continue to investigate an incident in Brigantine, where someone threw hundreds of anti-Semitic flyers onto people’s lawns over the weekend.

From ABC:

“Brigantine City police say the flyers were distributed across the island between Saturday night and Sunday morning. Police confirm they are investigating this as a ‘bias incident.’

“While the flyers didn’t contain any specific threats, the Jewish community in Brigantine does feel threatened.”

A resident of Brigantine, former U.S. Rep. Patrick Kennedy (D-RI) and his children showed copies of the flyers in a video he shared on his social media.

“Last night there was anti-Semitic material spread throughout our neighborhood,” said Kennedy, before exhorting his children to read the quote by the theologian Martin Niemoller:

“First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.”

Concerned community members have scheduled a solidarity event at the Niemoller Monument (please see details below).
