===Protests against Jewish institutions===
In 1996 Phelps led a protest at the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Holocaust_Memorial_Museum United States Holocaust Memorial Museum] in Washington, D.C., proclaiming:
Whatever righteous cause the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judaism Jewish] victims of the 1930s–40s [[Nazi Party|Nazi]] [[The Holocaust|Holocaust]] had (probably minuscule, compared to the Jewish Holocausts against [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Middle_Passage Middle Passage] Blacks, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African_Americans African Americans] and Christians—including the bloody persecution of Westboro Baptist Church by Topeka Jews in the 1990s), has been drowned in sodomite semen. American taxpayers are financing this unholy monument to Jewish mendacity and greed and to filthy fag lust. Homosexuals and Jews dominated [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazi_Germany Nazi Germany] ... The Jews now wander the earth despised, smitten with moral and spiritual blindness by a divine judicial stroke ... And God has smitten Jews with a certain unique madness ... Jews, thus perverted, out of all proportion to their numbers energize the militant sodomite agenda... Jews are the real Nazis. WBC was present at a 2002 Holocaust memorial dedication in Topeka, proclaiming "God Hates [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reform_Judaism Reform Judaism]".

On May 8, 2009, members of the church protested at three Jewish sites in Washington, D.C., including the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-Defamation_League Anti-Defamation League] (ADL) offices, the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._Holocaust_Memorial_Museum U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum] and the city's largest synagogue. Margie Phelps, daughter of Pastor [[Fred Phelps]], led the protest, holding signs stating that "God Hates [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israel Israel]", "Jews Killed [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesus Jesus]", "America Is Doomed", "Israel Is Doomed", and "ADL Jew Bullies". The protest was apparently part of a series of upcoming protests which the church has planned at Jewish institutions in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omaha,_Nebraska Omaha], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Louis,_Missouri St. Louis], South Florida and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Providence,_Rhode_Island Providence]. The group reportedly posted a list of the upcoming protests' locations and dates, along with the statement "Jews Killed the Lord Jesus."<ref>[https://www.haaretz.com/us-news/2017-03-28/ty-article/westboro-baptist-church-pickets-yeshiva-university-with-jews-killed-jesus-signs/0000017f-e0f4-d75c-a7ff-fcfd29d20000 Westboro Baptist Church Pickets Yeshiva University With 'Jews Killed Jesus' Signs], ''Haaretz''</ref><ref>[https://www.jpost.com/jewish-world/jewish-news/extremist-christians-god-hates-jews Extremist Christians: 'God hates Jews'], ''The Jerusalem Post''</ref>

In an interview, Margie Phelps said that her church was targeting the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Jews American Jewish community] because church members had "testified" to Gentiles for 19 years that "America is doomed" and that "Now it's too late. We're done with them." She also claimed that Jews were "one of the loudest voices" in favor of homosexuality and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abortion abortion], and that "[Jews] claim to be God's chosen people. Do you think that God is going to wink at that forever?" Phelps concluded by stating, in an apparent reference to the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book_of_Revelation Book of Revelation], that all the nations of the world would soon march on [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israel Israel], and that they would be led by President [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barack_Obama Barack Obama], whom she called the "[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antichrist Antichrist]".<ref name = AC>[https://fox4kc.com/news/westboro-baptist-church-obama-antichrist-protest-fails/ Westboro Baptist Church ‘Obama Antichrist’ Protest Fails], ''Fox 4 Kansas City''</ref>
