Toronto police have apparently arrested a member of a neo-Nazi group in connection with the murder early this morning of an Israeli resident of Toronto. The victim, a father of six, was stabbed to death in or outside a Jewish pizza shop in the Canadian city while celebrating his 49th birthday.



In another hate crime, a synagogue in the town of Swansea, Wales, was targeted this past Thursday. Vandals destroyed at least one Torah scroll and painted swastikas on the wall, and also attempted to set the building ablaze. Synagogue officials said that a 300-year-old Torah scroll was torn apart and left outside the synagogue.
