    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Police are investigating after the remnants of Molotov cocktails were found at a synagogue and Jewish community centre in the Montreal suburb of Dollard-des-Ormeaux, Que., overnight Monday.

    The Montreal police arson squad and hate crimes unit investigators are on the case and Jewish advocacy organizations are calling out what they say is a worrisome rise in antisemitism.

    Investigators on the scene Tuesday morning found pieces of a glass bottle and charred markings on the front door of the synagogue, Congregation Beth Tikvah, where a small fire had burned.

    Eta Yudin, the vice-president of the Quebec branch of the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs, said at an afternoon news conference that two Molotov cocktails in the span of one night constituted the worst single incident targeting Montreal’s Jewish community since Oct. 7.

    Prime Minister Justin Trudeau called the firebombings “deeply disturbing” in a post on X, formerly Twitter.

    “Antisemitism is completely unacceptable and must always be condemned — our government will continue to work with Jewish communities to combat this hatred,” said Trudeau.
