The last week’s incident was the fourth in the last five months to happen at the same place. The police say the owners staged the attack and made a false claim, but the motive remains uncertain.
The owners of a Canadian Cafe were reportedly arrested and charged with public mischief for allegedly staging an anti-Semitic attack at their place, The Hill reported Friday.

Here are more photos from inside the cafe. Winnipeg police allege the attack on Oxana and the anti-Semitic graffiti spray painted around the restaurant was all staged. Police said this morning they have no further comment on the case. pic.twitter.com/mTo4Ks2EOj

Canadian Jewish organizations already condemned the news, saying false claims of anti-Semitism will erode people’s trust and embolden conspiracy theorists.
