Commissioners adopt resolution against antisemitism

The Hays County Commissioners Court adopted a resolution against antisemitism to affirm the county’s commitment to the well-being and safety of its Jewish community members. 

The resolution encouraged residents to report any such antisemitic incidents to the proper authorities for investigation and focused on the urgent need to ensure the safety and security of Jewish communities, including synagogues, schools, cemeteries and other institutions. 

In October, antisemitic fliers were found in the Willow Springs neighborhood in San Marcos. The letters, which claimed “every single aspect of the covid agenda is Jewish,” and questioned why Jewish people “control” the media, were quickly reported to the San Marcos Police Department on Oct. 30.
