The report looked at an “escalating climate of antisemitism and bigotry,” according to ADL’s Hate, Extremism, Antisemitism, Terrorism Map. Inflammatory literature was distributed on three occasions last year in Middletown, the ADL said. In February 2020, the American Identity Movement posted flyers with the group’s logo, reading: “Diversity destroys nations.”
