Anti-Semites targeted homes in Annapolis, Md. with crude flyers suggesting that Jews control America. At least three neighborhoods in Maryland’s capital received the flyers, which were wrapped up like newspapers and left on lawns Saturday morning. “Join the United States Army and Fight for Israel,” one sheet read; a comic book story drawn in the style of Robert Crumb was called “When the Goddamn Jews Take Over America.” Jennifer Laszlo Mizrahi, founder of The Israel Project, lives in one of the targeted homes, though there was no indication that she was singled out. Laszlo Mizrahi said she alerted police, but was told the action was not illegal.
