(WASHINGTON D.C., 9/7/2022) – The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the nation’s largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization, today condemned the second distribution of antisemitic flyers in Raleigh, N.C. in less than a month.
Residents of Raleigh’s Killington Drive neighborhood discovered antisemitic flyers on their properties this week. A neighborhood in North Ridge with a significant Jewish population was targeted with similar flyers several weeks ago.

“We again condemn the distribution of this antisemitic propaganda and stand in solidarity with the Jewish community being targeted by hate,” said CAIR National Communications Director Ibrahim Hooper. “We urge law enforcement authorities to investigate the disturbing rise in white supremacist and antisemitic activity.”
He noted that CAIR condemned the distribution of similar flyers last month.

Hooper said CAIR and the American Muslim community stand in solidarity with all those challenging antisemitism, systemic anti-Black racism, xenophobia, Islamophobia, white supremacy, and all other forms of bigotry.
