(LOS ANGELES, CA – 6/19/2023) – The Greater Los Angeles Area office of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-LA) today condemned the distribution of antisemitic flyers in Redondo Beach, Calif., early this morning.
A resident of the Southern California neighborhood was taking out his trash when he found the plastic bag containing the leaflets with antisemitic messages in his yard. The incident is similar to those occurring in neighborhoods throughout the state of California and the nation, although it is not clear if these incidents are linked.

In a statement, CAIR-LA Executive Director Hussam Ayloush said:
“We are disturbed by the ongoing acts of bigotry against our Jewish neighbors. There is no place in our state for the targeted hate and antisemitism that continues to be spread and we strongly condemn these senseless acts.
“The Jewish community deserves the right to feel safe in their homes, neighborhoods, and places of worship. We need to work to address antisemitism in our communities to bring respect and tolerance for all and seek justice for our Jewish neighbors.”
