The City Council joined with police, saying “[a]s the center of the free-speech movement, Berkeley has always supported people’s rights under the first amendment.

“To our Jewish neighbors, be assured that as a community, Berkeley will stand up together to reject anti-Semitic messages and all forms of hate speech,” the council’s statement continued. “The Berkeley City Council stands united in our zero-tolerance position against all forms of hate speech in our city.”
Police decried the flyers, apparently left randomly at an unnamed number of homes, and said it would vigorously investigate their distribution in the same way it has pursued other hate-crime investigations, and reminded residents that as part of a “United Against Hate” campaign, residents or merchants may pick up a “We Stand United Against Hate” posters at any Berkeley Fire Department station.
Anyone with information or possible surveillance camera footage may call Berkeley police at 510-981-5900.
