Antisemitic flyers found in Canton Township, other Metro Detroit neighborhoods

In the United States, particularly in Metro Detroit, several communities have reported the distribution of antisemitic flyers. This troubling incident occurred over the weekend and on Monday, coinciding with the one-year anniversary of the Hamas attack on Israel. Residents in Canton Township discovered these flyers in their driveways, placed in plastic bags with materials believed to weigh them down. The Canton Township Police Department has initiated an investigation to identify those responsible, emphasizing the importance of community safety and respect. Similar reports emerged from Northville, where police found flyers in plastic sandwich bags containing corn kernels. The Farmington Hills and West Bloomfield police departments also reported that antisemitic flyers were distributed to over 100 homes. Local authorities are taking these incidents seriously, with police chiefs expressing their commitment to preventing and prosecuting hate speech. The Oakland County Sheriff's Office confirmed that similar flyers were found in Rochester Hills and Commerce Township, with officials suspecting that the perpetrators may be outsiders. The community leaders have condemned these acts, highlighting the chilling effect such hate speech has on residents. They are urging community members to check their surveillance cameras for any footage of the distribution. Overall, the response from law enforcement and community leaders reflects a strong stance against hate speech, with a commitment to protect the Jewish community and ensure that such incidents do not escalate further.
