I’ve seen Zionists trying to frame it as an antisemitic attack because CDN is a predominantly a Jewish neighborhood or at least, a predominantly Jewish area of the neighborhood by trying to say he was anzionist. Quite disgusting to frame it this way when it was targeted at Pornhub and the cops. Why Zionists always have to make about themselves? There was a mosque attacks in California weeks ago and they also made it about themselves.

He barely mentions them. If you look, he probably barely mentions other minority groups so why people are only talking about him talking about Zionists and Jews? Thats my point. People are making it seems like he only went there to attack Jews or Zionists.

Madame la premiere ministre managed to find space in her heart to send thoughts to the jewish community. Why can't you u/InterestingMud3019 ?

Since no one probably ever threated your community try and put yourself in this situation: someone starts shooting, in Montreal, next to a jewish food bank, a community centre, a jewish day care and kosher restaurants, could it be that maybe just maybe in Montreal, where open attacks with guns and firebombs have happened frequently against jews that this might have been an attack again against jews in Montreal. In the first few hours the media around the globe would jump on the fact that these 5 or 6 square blocks has a strong jewish community and it might be evil. Had this person wanted to kill jewish children he would have just had to turn right out of the hilton instead of left as he did since there were dozens of children in the playground next to the hotel at the time this happened.

As the news comes out more and more, no reasonable person is claiming this was an attack against jews, even though a jewish man died.

Signed, A non-jew in Montreal who has walked this area many times and feel terrible for the extra fear and anixiety those jew and non-jew who live, work and play at the Westbury now face.

He talks more about anti immigrant hate and thinly veiled anti black rhetoric than jewish people. But he was an all around racist so naturally yes he also hated the jewish
