CHICAGO (WBBM NEWSRADIO) --Antisemitic flyers were found in another neighborhood on Chicago’s North Side earlier this week.

Small cardboard signs were placed on car windshields along Honore, Wolcott and Winchester in Bucktown. They shared links to a streaming channel run by the Goyim Defense League - a group the Anti-Defamation League says shares vitriolic antisemitism and white supremacist content.

Lloyd Schoen was walking his dogs on Monday when he saw the flyers, according to the Chicago Sun-Times. He called it ridiculous.

Alderman Scott Waguespack went door to door Wednesday to tell residents who received the flyers they can report them to the Chicago Commission on Human Relations.

“At this time when there’s a lot of intolerance for people’s voices, we have to push back when there are ones of hate," he told the Sun-Times.

This incident follows antisemitic statements made at an Evanston City Council meeting last week and flyers left in Lincoln Park earlier this month.
