UPDATE: The Winnipeg-based Jewish Post & News has come out with an interesting article, suggesting this may have not been a hate crime after all:
http://jewishpostandnews.ca/local/2867-many-puzzling-aspects-to-what-happened-at-bermax-caffe-that-suggest-it-might-not-have-been-a-hate-crime"While the police have characterized this most recent incident as a "hate crime", the possibility exists, however, that something else is behind the spate of vandalism at BerMax. We are not going to disclose the information that would lead us to suggest something else may be afoot, but we would like to remind readers that in 2017, Jewish community centres throughout the United States were put on high alert by threats arriving over the internet. It turned out that the threats were all coming from a teenaged American boy living in Israel."Judging by the article, it seems to imply this may have been an inside job....
