Two activists are charged with public incitement of hatred against the Israeli community, while all faced various rioting and unlawful assembly charges. Students Supporting Israel at Toronto Metropolitan University posted videos on social media showing the altercation between the pro-Israel students and masked protesters at the off-campus event at which former IDF soldiers were due to speak. An anti-Israel activist chanted, “We refuse to allow war criminals in our city,” while the pro-Israel students shouted, “Get out,” and “Call 911.” Other videos showed the pro-Israel students barricading themselves behind a glass door with furniture as the masked protesters gathered on the other side. The two groups shouted at each other through the glass door before the glass was smashed. It was unclear from the videos which side broke the glass. The pro-Israel group shared a video of blood seeping out of a sliced forearm, as a woman cried in the background.
