Jewish Community: Individuals Opening and Brith Website

jewish community: A photo on B'nai Brith Canada's website shows the letter containing the words Jewry must perish, and a swastika scrawled onto a blood-soaked Star of David, according to CTV. It's really unfortunate that, at this time of year, with the Jewish community celebrating Hanukkah ... you have a message of targeted hate that's going out to religious institutions across the country, B'nai Brith Canada CEO Michael Mostyn said. Four synagogues in Toronto, two in Montreal, one in Hamilton and one in Edmonton have reported being sent the hate mail, the Jewish advocacy group said Tuesday. It's sad to see and it's actually quite terrifying for the individuals opening these letters with hateful genocidal messages. Officers are absolutely treating the incidents as hate crimes, said Staff Sgt. Police in all four cities confirmed they were investigating the letters. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
