Two Jewish schools in Montreal were hit overnight by gunshots, police said Thursday.

Staff members discovered bullet holes on the exterior of the buildings when they arrived Thursday morning. Nobody was inside at the time of the shootings, police said.

Prime minister Justin Trudeau reacted to the shootings, telling reporters in a Montreal suburb that Canadians must denounce violent antisemitism in the strongest terms.

“We are seeing an increase in threats of violence,” Trudeau said. “That’s not who we are as Canadians. We are a country that has done better than just about any other country at understanding and respecting different perspectives.”

      There is a quote that I like to think of that accurately describes your answer.

      “Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.”

      Only cowards hate for no reason. So there’s you’re reason.

    “Anti-zionism, not anti-Semitism”

      That statement isn’t ignorant to the fact that antisemites still also exist. Don’t conflate the two.

          I don’t think there’s any evidence these schools had any links with Zionism. So, it’s clearly anti-semitism, not anti-zionism.

          Yes, most Zionists I’ve met in the US are also antisemites.

          This is entirely anecdotal, but the benefit of creating an ethnostate, in their minds, seems to be keeping them out of theirs.
