Canadian police are examining a violent manifesto spanning more than 100 pages allegedly written by the Montreal shooter, which advocates violence against women. The document may indicate the attack was not antisemitic in motive, but officials have not officially confirmed a motive.
Canadian police are examining a lengthy violent manifesto, reportedly over 100 pages and allegedly written by the Montreal shooter, that advocates violence against women. According to Israeli journalist Asaf Rozentzweig (N12) citing local Canadian reports, the document may suggest the attack was not motivated by antisemitism against the Jewish community. However, no official confirmation of the shooter's motive has been released. The attack on Monday in the Côte-des-Neiges district killed a police officer and a Jewish civilian. As The Zioneer reported earlier, Montreal police sources told CNN they believe the attack targeted law enforcement rather than the Jewish community, though this assessment remains preliminary.
