Some buildings had swastikas spray-painted in red on the exterior, and some carried the message `Juden raus', which is German for `Jews out', said Jack Jedwab, director of community relations for Quebec of the Canadian Jewish Congress. "One possibility is that this series of incidents was perpetrated by neo-Nazi skinheads or members of the neo-Nazi movement," Jedwab said yesterday. "We think it was an organized attack," he added. The incident was the first anti-Semitic attack against Montreal's 95,000-member Jewish community in more than two years. Given the anti-Semitic and racist violence in Germany and other European countries over the past year, Jedwab said Montreal's synagogues were very fortunate to have been so lightly hit. ==30==
