The Winnipeg Jewish Review received an email on Thursday that I suspect is likely to be the same or very similar to the new round of anti-Semitic posters that were discovered in downtown Winnipeg on a pole in the middle of Broadway. (I suspect it because I have not had an opportunity to view the new posters)
The Winnipeg Free Press has reported on this new incident at :
http://www.winnipegfreepress.com/local/anti-semitic-posters-raise-alarm-174001611.html
CTV has just reported on this at:
http://winnipeg.ctvnews.ca/local-religious-group-frustrated-over-police-response-to-anti-semitic-posters-1.994702
Although neither media outlet has given the text of the new posters, it is clear from the Winnipeg Free Press
article that the new posters cross off the names of the 13 people named on the last set of posters.The text received in an email to the Winnipeg Jewish Review refers to these names as needing to be
terminated, and in that sense could be seen as threatening. The email was sent to
editor@winnipegjewishreview.com email.
The text of the email also uses the phrase "Never Again" which is the phrase commonly used by Holocaust educators and community leaders in saying that we ought to ensure the Holocaust never happens again. The writer in my view is is clearly using Holocaust terminology, by using the phrase "Never Again".
Here is the text of the email received by the Winnipeg Jewish Review ( Note: at the bottom of the email received by the Winnipeg Jewish Review there was a link to an article published in another publication which has called on Mayor Katz and Phil Sheegl to resign):

David Wolinsky
We refuse to become the next Laval!

The Winnipeg Jewish Review will continue to report on this story as it develops.
Update: I have had an opportunity to see a copy of the new poster and it is th esame wording as I received in this email.
