A mob of activists assaulted students trying to attend a pro-Israel event at York University in Toronto on Wednesday.
The protesters, members of the Students Against Israeli Apartheid campus group, can be seen attacking students as they attempt to enter the event, according to footage obtained by the pro-Israel BDS Report. Accusing Israel of being an apartheid state is a common theme in anti-Semitic attacks on Israel. (RELATED: Professor Faces Death Threats For Israel Support)

“Yo, kick his ass,” one of the bystanders says.
Police eventually entered the scene to end the altercation, and other videos show pro-Palestine students chanting anti-Israel slogans to the crowd of protesters before the incident.
