Not the first time local Hamas supporters have tried this kind of thing here. Talmud Torah elementary school in St. Laurent was firebombed twenty years ago after Israel had zapped Sheikh Yassin.

Lots of assumptions there, but ok.
Does anyone have any idea why specifically DDO synagogues got hit?
I only ask because in my neighbourhood all the Jewish organizations (mostly anyhow) are Hasidim who are also anti-Zionist so while we do have a heightened police presence in case of sub-average idiots just targetting visible Jews, there tends to be a bit less Israel-related antisemitism here.

The police have done very little to deter the development of neo-Nazi sentiment, and actually promote it by defending them from counter protestors when they demonstrate in public. Look at the sad case the cops came up with against Zeiger. All that reactionary bullshit overlaps with the thin blue line patches. Anti-fascists do a better job with zero resources. https://montreal-antifasciste.info/fr/2023/10/16/deux-projets-neonazis-a-quebec/
