It does not send a loud and clear message that acts of antisemitism are motivated by hate and the courts will respond accordingly, Federation CJA chief says.
The Montreal police Hate Crime Unit have made an arrest in Wednesday’s anti-Semitic incident at Hebrew Foundation School. A 16-year-old has been apprehended on suspicion of mischief, theft, and arson.
The incident occurred around 3 p.m. on Wednesday, which was Israeli independence day, at a school in the Montreal suburb of Dollard-des-Ormeaux, according to B’nai Brith.
