Anti-Semitic Flier Posted On Hillsborough Municipal Building

HILLSBOROUGH, NJ — An anti-Semitic flier was posted in Hillsborough recently. This was one of many that have been cropping up in the local area.

A Hillsborough municipal employee, who was going into work on Monday morning, found the flier taped to the outside entrance door of the Hillsborough Municipal Building, Hillsborough Police Lt. Mike McMahon said.

It had been posted sometime overnight between Sunday, July 14 and Monday, July 15.

"Obviously, we do not condone any group, posting such material at the municipal building," McMahon said.

Other fliers were reportedly posted over the last week in towns including Somerville, Bridgewater, Morristown, Bedminster, Basking Ridge, Bernardsville, according to mycentraljersey.com.

The recent posting of anti-Semitic fliers is not new to the area as fliers and stickers were also found in the local areas last year. The fliers promoted "Identity Evropa," identified by the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) as a white supremacy group.

"Over the past year there has been a very disturbing pattern of white supremacist recruiting activity all throughout Somerset County, it's time for law enforcement officials to step up and hold these hate groups accountable," said Retired Somerset County Sheriff's Office Chief Tim Pino.
