Antisemitic violence at Toronto protest

Toronto, ON - Antisemitic violence erupted at a protest organized by Palestinian activists at Nathan Phillips Square in downtown Toronto.

Shocking video and eyewitness accounts confirm that a group of protestors bearing a Palestinian flag swarmed and brutally assaulted a small number of pro-Israel demonstrators. Vicious, antisemitic statements were voiced by the perpetrators during the assault, according to witnesses.

At the time, several dozen supporters of Israel had been demonstrating near the crowd of several thousand Palestinian supporters.

Pro Palestine protestors beat an elderly Jewish man in Canada. They also sexually assaulted a Jewish girl (whom I just spoke with). This is not normal. pic.twitter.com/aSSdW9NAHN
