Police are investigating after anti-semitic notes were left on several vehicles in Jefferson Park Sunday morning.
About 8:30 a.m., officers who responded to a call in the 5400 block of West Wilson Avenue found cardboard signs with anti-semitic messages on several parked vehicles, Chicago police said.
"This morning, I was alerted to antisemitic leaflets distributed at residences in my district. I condemn this disgusting display of antisemitism. My Jewish constituents deserve to live in safety and without fear of intimidation or violence," Garcia said. "The leaflets draw on deeply rooted conspiracy theories about government influence by listing Jewish members of the Biden administration.
Lila Gaber, a Muslim Palestinian American, put a sign in her yard that reads "Free Palestine" after the conflict escalated between Israeli and Hamas forces last month, leading to thousands of civilian deaths. In early October, a report released by the Anti-Defamation League detailed that racist propaganda and antisemitic acts more than doubled last year in Illinois.
