An event, linked below, is certainly of concern. However there are rumors of a much worse event at Ottawa’s Carleton U concerning a police investigation of a mob threat to some students also related to a pro-Israel event. I will post less vague information about it as I get it. If anyone knows anything please detail in comments and if possible provide links.
H/T to gay and right for the story below
Jewish Tribune
TORONTO – All hell will break loose at the University of Western Ontario if the students who disrupted an Israel On Campus (IOC) event don’t face repercussions, warned a frustrated IOC member.
Aubrey Chapnick, a third year student in the Business Management & Organizational Studies program at UWO, told the Jewish Tribune he was enjoying the non-political Israel Day displays last Wednesday when a large group of anti-Israel activists showed up en masse, without permission, and were allowed by campus police to block access to the event for about an hour. Many of the protesters had duct tape over their mouths and carried signs with anti-Israel messages.
If the rules aren’t enforced, Chapnick warned, “the Jewish community at Western will be in an uproar…. If these individuals and groups aren’t being held to the same standards that every other club is subject to, all hell is going to break out.”
It’s too early to say if the protesters will face any sanctions, according to Elgin Austen, director of campus police at UWO.
Campus police arrived on the scene quickly but did not intervene or make the protesters leave because “it’s better to observe what’s happening, see who’s actually there, and then deal with it,” Elgin Austen, director of campus police at UWO, told the Jewish Tribune. Although “it’s not acceptable for picketers to come in and do that,” direct police interference will only inflame the situation and “create a huge scene.”
Austen assured the Tribune that, “We don’t appreciate what happened and we will be dealing with this in a strategic fashion.”
Beginning this week, Austen said, campus police will meet with students on both sides to collect information, and then “discuss what the strategy should be to not let this happen again.” They will need to “assess the best courses of action…because we haven’t had this kind of situation occur before.” Any disciplinary action that might be taken “will be decided at a later point.”
How big a wad of cash are Muslims subverting the school with? That will indicate the level of justice you will see.
I’ve found this video on youtube about the issue: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JmhOSDGk1tc

Danko the event to which I refer happened within the last few weeks. Quote ominous I am told, kept secret so far, and there is a police investigation, so it would, based on that at least, be worse than the documented event at UWO
oh, I see… perhaps the comment should be removed…
No please leave it. The links you left still refer to events the public should know about Carleton. I am working on finding out what I can about the recent thing. One thing is for sure. Any Jewish family should really think twice about sending their kids to a Canadian university.
Freedom is under assault around the world, nations are routinely doing things that 20 years ago would have caused an uproar from every side. It has take a long time for the left to destroy our traditions and laws to the point where things like this can occur. Unfortunately things are going to get worse before they get better.
