In the January issue of Minnesota History Magazine there is an article about antisemitism featuring a photograph that has nothing to do with anti-semitism.

The Evangelical Free Church of America has been (in the past) primarily a "Dispensational Theology" proponent, which is, traditionally, a huge supporter of the Jewish people.

Arley Bragg, the then pastor of Central Free Church in Minneapolis, was a lover of the Jewish people. He was hardly an anti-Semite.

The sermon title pictured on the sign most probably refers to JESUS, the most hated JEW on the planet. It would be interesting to see the archives of Rev. Bragg's 

sermons to discern whether or not this is the case here. Because I grew up in the Free Church, and I have only ever known an intense love for Israel and the 

Jewish people, I am certain that Arley Bragg only meant to address the heinousness of antisemitism, ever. 

I knew him as the elderly man with the deep voice who LOVED people.

Fake news is a real problem today.

Noted. As you will see from the caption,  we were clear to note that this photograph was found in the papers of the JCRC. It was collected by them, at the time, as an example of anti-Semitism. This was their perception.  This is not "fake news."
