There may be a link between the anti-Semitic leaflets that were handed out in Boerum Hill and Cobble Hill on Tuesday and this weekend’s anti-gay, anti-Jewish rallies being organized by the militant Westboro Baptist Church of Topeka, Kansas, according to an investigation being conducted by the 76th Precinct.

Brooklyn Paper: Handwritten notes reading “Kill Jews” in black marker were found at the corner of Clinton and President streets and along Atlantic Avenue between Smith and Boerum streets.

Sgt. Vinny Marrone of the 76th Precinct said police are investigating whether the hate message were done to promote Saturday’s rally by the Westboro Baptist Church at the Kane Street Synagogue at nearby Tompkins Place.

“But this also happens every year during the Jewish holidays,” Marrone added. “Someone always wants to ruin their good time when they’re celebrating.”
