Four Belgian Jewish students were injured here Thursday when fighting erupted between pro-Palestinian and pro-Israeli groups at the University of Brussels. The groups clashed when more than 100 Arab and left-wing students attacked a Jewish student stand set up in the main hall of the “Cite Universitaire.” The pro-Palestinians shouted, “Palestine will win,” “Dayan Assassin.” and “Free Jewish Revolutionaries” The last slogan referred to the Jewish members of the Syrian-backed spy ring in Israel.
