Activists in Toronto are protesting plans by a coalition of Arab groups to hold Israeli Apartheid Week on the University of Toronto campus. The Canadian Coalition for Democracies is urging university donors and others to complain to the school’s governing council. Representatives from the Arab Students Collective, International Solidarity Movement, Solidarity for Palestinian Human Rights and other groups are scheduled to speak during the week-long event, which has been promoted by the university’s Institute for Women’s Studies and Gender Studies and is slated to begin Jan. 31.
