A group of Christians from the Westboro Baptist Church in Kansas showed up in New York City on Tuesday to let local Jews know just how hated they are.

The Jerusalem Post reports that the anti-Semitic Christians picketed outside several New York Jewish institutions, carrying signs that read "God Hates Jews."

Jewish leaders urged local Jews to simply avoid personal contact with the Christian demonstrators and to go about business as usual.

The Westboro Baptist Church has made a name for itself in the past with its outlandish anti-gay and anti-Semitic rhetoric.
