Georgia’s Jewish communities are under attack
Neo-Nazis display antisemitism and both Kemp and Warnock respond
Groups of Neo-Nazis were in two different locations in Georgia over the weekend displaying antisemitic propaganda. On Friday in Macon, and then on Saturday in Cobb County of the metro Atlanta community, Neo-Nazis were found in public areas waving swastika flags.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported about 15 people protested on Friday outside of Temple Beth Israel with antisemitic fliers and the display of the Nazi flag.
Governor Brian Kemp tweeted, “There is absolutely no place for this hate and antisemitism in our state. I share in the outrage over this shameful act and stand with Georgians everywhere in condemning it. We remain vigilant in the face of these disgusting acts of bigotry.”

Senator Raphael Warnock had also tweeted in response, “Yesterday we saw antisemitism on display in Macon, and now in metro Atlanta. This has got to stop. Praying for our Jewish community in Georgia and beyond. We must all raise our voices loudly against this vile hate.”
