York U Protests
York University was again subjected to a clash between students over the Israel-Palestinian dispute. The Excalibur reports that what started out as a tabling session by the Grassroots Anti-Imperialist Network (GRAIN) turned into a "major demonstration" marked by "a yelling match between students from two campus groups." GRAIN is a working group of OPIRG-York. The 'two student groups' identified were GRAIN and Hillel@York, though Adam Hummel, President of Hillel@York, stated that "From Hillel's point of view, we didn't have an official protest or response against it. There were members of the community there and there were members of Hillel there voicing their opinions and talking to people."
