MONTREAL (VINnews) – The suspect in Monday’s fatal shooting of a Montreal police officer in the city’s heavily Jewish Côte-des-Neiges neighborhood left behind a 104-page manifesto filled with explicit antisemitism, anti-Zionist conspiracy theories, communist, ideology and grievances against women, authorities said.

Police said they have not yet established a motive for the attack.

The shooting unfolded after officers responded to reports of an armed man near the Hilton Garden Inn in Côte-des-Neiges. Constable Mohamed Lamine Benredouane, 1st in the line of duty in Montreal in 24 years, was killed and another officer was seriously injured. The gunman was shot and killed by polic

Michael Mizrahi A”H, 68, was also killed during the incident after being shot by a police officer. Rabbi Mendel Raskin, Mizrahi’s rabbi at Beth Chabad for more than 30 years, said Mizrahi was originally from Lebanon, later moved to Israel and eventually settled in Montreal.

The manifesto repeatedly targeted Jews and Zionists, claiming “many Jews” are part of the Western ruling class — sometimes referring to it as the “Judaeo-bourgeois class.” It alleged that “the influence of Zionist Jews upon the western bourgeoisie is in fact so strong” that it has shaped Western society, and claimed “Jewish interests dominate the levers of finance, media, and politics.”

The document described that influence as “pervasive and corrosive,” accused “Zionist Jews” of engineering a system that benefits them at others’ expense and portrayed Western institutions as “captured by a Jewish elite.”

It also praised communism, condemned capitalism and framed male loneliness as a civilizational crisis.
