HUNTINGTON, NY — An anti-Semitic flyer was found in Huntington earlier in the month, the Town of Huntington announced Friday.

A Huntington resident awoke Tuesday to find a flyer that made them feel targeted because of their religion, a town spokesperson said. The flyer identified members of the Federal Executive Branch who were Jewish by marking them with an Israeli flag, saying "the country is run by Jews," said Huntington Councilman Dave Bennardo.

The poster promoted a webpage belonging to the Goyim Defense League, which has been taken off most social media sites because of "overtly anti-Semitic rhetoric and conspiracy theories, which denied the Holocaust," the town stated. The webpage denied other national and international incidents, including the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, Bennardo said.

The person who received the flyer reported the incident to police and contacted her Rabbi, who brought the incident to the Town of Huntington Anti-Bias Task Force. The township said such "literature drops" are a "common tactic of this anti-Semitic group, whose members are often overt in their biased philosophy."

"First of all, while freedom of speech, which I am an ardent supporter of, allows you to say hurtful, even untruthful, downright prejudice things, good people have a responsibility to use their free speech to correct the record and defend those who are being persecuted," Bennardo told Patch. "To me, that takes the community saying 'you can say it, but we think you're wrong. You can say it, but we think you're disgraceful.' And a lot of governments don't think to do that, because they don't like to enmesh themselves in the mix, but we felt there was a moral responsibility."

While the message was anti-Semitic, Bennardo said it could have been against Islam, Christianity, it could've been racial, or anything else.

"Whatever it is, we felt a really strong obligation to say, 'we don't do that here.' There is no place for that here in Huntington. And if you do bring that hatred to Huntington, we'll push back."

Bennardo said he is proud of the town board and anti-bias task force for rallying together despite the differing political views of the people who make up the board and task force.

"There are certain things that transcend political views and are downright hateful," Bennardo said. "Certainly, the Holocaust is one of those. While I am very disheartened that someone would do that, the people in Huntington have to know that we will react and we will have their back."

The town said residents should first call Suffolk police at 631-852-COPS to report hate crimes.

The town's anti-bias task force invites residents to share concerns with Director of Human Resources, Carmen Kasper, at ckasper@huntingtonny.gov.

"The Town Board supports our residents as well as the Huntington Anti-Bias task force, which is resolute in their contention that no member of our Huntington family should ever feel singled out or threatened due to their race, religion, gender, sexual identity, or political beliefs," the Town of Huntington stated. "Huntington has no place for hate and we will stand in solidarity with any individual or group experiencing bias."
