Two more Neo-Nazi demonstrators who are accused of hanging antisemitic banners over I-4 in Orlando were arrested, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement said Wednesday.

Ronald Murray, 41, and Amanda Rains, 36, were arrested along with two others after the group hung antisemitic hate banners along the Darryl Carter Parkway Bridge in Orlando, the FDLE said.

The arrests come after Governor Ron DeSantis signed House Bill 269 earlier this year prohibiting individuals from displaying or projecting images onto a building, structure, or property without permission.

Probably because they were anti-semitic Nazi flags. Anti-semitism does not mean what you're saying. However, it is often that people hide behind criticizing other things to target them and act innocent. There's a difference between saying "the elites" and "the globalists" for example. We know what people mean by both, and they aren't saying the latter by accident.

I do agree that Israel uses "anti-semitism" as a cudgel against anyone who dares criticize zionism. That's a whole other issue though.
