University investigating assault on Jewish students

Ron Csillag

TORONTO -- York University in Toronto is investigating allegations of assault against two Jewish students during a pro-Israel program to raise awareness of captured Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit and terrorist acts committed by Hamas. Tyler Golden, co-president of Hasbara Fellowships, told JTA that about 50 activists and protesters surrounded the Jewish students and began chanting anti-Israel and anti-Semitic slurs. He said two Jewish students were slapped.
