Two Jewish schools in Montreal were defaced with graffiti. Staff at the United Talmud Torah and its adjoining high school, Herzliah, removed the slogans, which included the words “Free Palestine” and obscene references to Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon. Several weeks ago, racist graffiti was spray-painted on the campus of the Muslim Schools of Montreal, located in the mostly Jewish suburb of Cote Saint-Luc.
