Pro-Palestinian students say they were attacked first by supporters of a hardline Zionist group during an event at York University.
A group of international human rights NGOs has decried “violence against human rights defenders at York University” in Toronto, Canada, calling it a move against legitimate protests against “apartheid” in Israel.
BDS targets Israel over its treatment of Palestinians, including its settlements in the occupied West Bank and its decade-long blockade of the Gaza Strip. Videos of the event show dozens of counter protesters brandishing posters with pro-Palestine slogans, chanting and wearing keffiyehs, a traditional Arab scarf closely identified with Palestinians.Violence erupted between the two sides, resulting in police intervention and at least one injury, according to local media.
South Africa featured the most well-known system of Apartheid against the black majority until its end in 1994.
