Montreal Jews fear hate campaign

Schools and temples vandalized over the weekend

B’nai Brith, the Jewish advocacy and community organization, is warning against “an orchestrated campaign of anti-Semitic attacks” in Montreal after the windows of three synagogues, a Jewish school, and a daycare were smashed over the weekend. The targeting of the school and daycare is of particular concern to Montreal’s Jewish community, given the 2004 firebombing of the United Talmud Torah School. So far, no arrests have been made and no eyewitnesses have come forward, although police will be reviewing surveillance video.
