Several pro-Israel protesters were violently assaulted and injured by pro-Palestinian protesters at a counter-demonstration in Toronto on Saturday afternoon.
Video footage on social media filmed close to the site of the demonstration at Nathan Philips Square in downtown Toronto showed a gang of pro-Palestinian demonstrators violently attacking an elderly man. A number of them were masked.
The gang threw various objects and beat the man as well as other victims with various objects, the video footage showed.
Pro Palestine protestors beat an elderly Jewish man in Canada. They also sexually assaulted a Jewish girl (whom I just spoke with). This is not normal. pic.twitter.com/aSSdW9NAHN— Eli (@EliKohn3) May 16, 2021
More footage. The man had to go get treated at the hospital. Will update as I get more information. pic.twitter.com/vFn9tCALj0— Eli (@EliKohn3) May 16, 2021
According to the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs, “a group of protestors bearing a Palestinian flag swarmed and brutally assaulted a small number of pro-Israel demonstrators.”
