The Pasadena and Beverly Hills police departments are investigating after approximately 200 flyers containing antisemitic theories related to COVID-19 were distributed in each city Saturday night and Sunday morning, authorities said.

The flyers, which begin by claiming that "every single aspect of the COVID agenda is Jewish," were discovered just before midnight in the southwest part of Beverly Hills, according to a statement from Beverly Hills City Council.

In Pasadena, flyers were distributed between midnight and 4 a.m. near Washington Boulevard and Mentor, Catalina, Wilson and Mar Vista avenues, Pasadena spokeswoman Lisa Derderian said.

The leaflets were in plastic bags that were weighed down with pebbles, and they likely were thrown out of a passing car, Lt. Anthony Burgess, a spokesman for the department, told the Los Angeles Times.

"The Pasadena City Council stands united in our zero-tolerance position against all forms of hate speech, which has no place in our city," Mayor Victor Gordo said in a statement. "The distribution of [antisemitic] fliers in Pasadena and other southern California communities over the weekend is abhorrent and totally goes against the values of our city and its residents. Our thoughts are with our residents and all those hurt by these disgusting acts. We know Pasadena residents—of all faiths—will to stand together and  speak out against hatred in all forms."

A similar incident occurred last month in Beverly Hills, when similar flyers were distributed on the first day of Hanukkah.

On Instagram, Vice Mayor Lili Bosse lamented the "horrific incident."

"As a daughter of Holocuast survivors, this cuts to my core of my soul. I know it cuts all of our hearts to see hatred in Humanity still exist," she wrote.

In Beverly Hills, the "Police Department is thoroughly investigating and will be providing additional patrols along with private security throughout the City to ensure a safe holiday season," the statement read.

A group of Jewish institutions in Greensboro, North Carolina announced Sunday that members of the city's Jewish community had received "a vile piece of antisemitic hatred" connected to the COVID-19 pandemic with their newspaper delivery.

Local Fox affiliate Channel 8 reported that the antisemitic materials came in a small packet placed in the newspapers. They did not publish its full contents, but an image showed a flyer titled "Every Single Aspect of the Covid Agenda is Jewish." The title was bracketed by a Star of David on one side and a pentagram — often used as a symbol of satanism — on the other.

Similar flyers have been distributed by members of the so-called "Goyim Defense League," a white supremacist group, and were recently found outside homes in Beverly Hills, California on the first day of Hanukkah.

The leaders of three Greensboro Jewish institutions — Temple Emanuel, Beth David Synagogue, and the Greensboro Jewish Federation —issued a statement saying that the materials attempt "to spread antisemitic, blatantly false, and evil conspiracies about the COVID-19 virus and our nation's efforts to combat its spread."

"Hatred has no place in our community," they said. "We, in the Jewish community and those who align with us, stand against it."

Greensboro police are investigating the incidents, which took place in the Cornwallis Drive section of the city, Channel 8 said.

Several neighborhoods in Boise found the above flier on their doorsteps Sunday morning filled with antisemitic sentiments and hate speech.

One resident tells CBS2 News the fliers were packaged in a bag full of pellet gun ammo and dropped off on porches and stuck in fences.

The Wassmuth Center for Human Rights in Boise put out this statement.

"The rise of antisemitism in the valley is both sickening and alarming. Etched in the stone of the Idaho Anne Frank Human Rights Memorial, we are reminded of Martin Niemoeller's warning, "In Germany they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew then they came for me." As a community we must speak up - then take serious action to confront hate speech."

CBS2 news reached out to Boise Police who are investigating.
