Synagogues In Four Cities Receive Anti-Semitic Hate Mail

The Canadian Press, 19 Dec, 2017 12:24 PM

MONTREAL — B'nai Brith Canada says at least five synagogues across the country have received anti-Semitic hate mail.

The organization says two of the synagogues are in Montreal, with the others in Edmonton, Toronto and Hamilton, Ont.

The various letters call for the genocide of Jewish people, contain the phrase "Jewry Must Perish" and are accompanied by a bleeding Star of David with a swastika in the centre.

Police in the four cities are investigating.

B'nai Brith's Quebec office received two calls Monday to alert the organization of the Montreal incidents.
