Antisemitic flyers are distributed near a synagogue in Belleville, Ont., weeks after a synagogue shooting, according to multiple reports. Residents and synagogue representatives describe finding the flyers in the neighbourhood near the Sons of Jacob synagogue.
Global News reports that Norman Weddum says he wakes up to find flyers blamed Jewish people “for everything under the sun” and had been placed overnight. City News Toronto similarly says the synagogue president wakes up to discover flyers targeting the community and left in surrounding neighbourhoods. The National Post adds that a resident expresses emotional distress after seeing the flyers, saying it brings back memories of the night of the shooting.
While outlets focus on different personal reactions and descriptions, they agree on the timing—weeks after the shooting—and the central point that the flyers contain antisemitic messaging distributed around the synagogue and nearby areas.
