Police are investigating after anti-Semitic posters targeting Mayor Sam Katz and other prominent Jewish Winnipeggers were plastered across downtown on Friday night, angering the B’Nai Brith organization and senior Manitoba MP Vic Toews.

The unsigned posters, which were taped to light standards just prior to the Rosh Hashanah Jewish holiday, allege that Katz and certain members of Winnipeg’s business community are involved in questionable business transactions.

“To me, it’s a pretty straightforward and blatant hate crime,” David Matas, a lawyer for B’Nai Brith Canada, said of the posters bearing the headline “$Hitler’s List” and also naming siblings David, Leonard and Gail Asper, city CAO Phil Sheegl and developer Sandy Shindleman, among others.

“It’s awful to see this happen,” Matas told the Winnipeg Sun from Hamilton, Ont.

The mayor, whose name is at the top of the poster’s list, said by e-mail that he’s “extremely saddened and disheartened that an individual, or group of individuals, is posting such material.”

Katz added that he has “faith that the people of Winnipeg will not support such malice.”

Police are asking anyone with information on those responsible for the posters to contact their major crimes unit. Huh??? Shouldn't their major crimes unit deal with real crimes such as actual murders and such? You know, like in the Toronto area there were 40 actual murders (http://www.citytv.com/toronto/cityne...ale-identified) so far this year, most likely not committed by White people.
