UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO'S "ISRAEL APARTHEID WEEK"

Groups Condemn University of Toronto "Israeli Apartheid Week" - Beth Duff-Brown (AP/Washington Post)
A University of Toronto lecture series titled, "Israeli Apartheid Week," organized by the Arab Students' Collective, is drawing condemnation from Jewish groups in a country where anti-Semitic incidents are on the rise. "Is the University of Toronto hosting a free and scholarly exchange of ideas, or a racist rally masquerading as an academic conference?" asked Alastair Gordon of the Canadian Coalition for Democracies. Frank Dimant, vice president of B'nai Brith Canada, said the university had shown "cowardice" by not banning the event.
