CANADA HATEWATCH UPDATE: Machete used by attackers, students say. “A well-known student supporter of Israel at Carleton University and an Israeli engineering student at the university say they are counting themselves lucky to have survived an attack with what they say was a machete near a Gatineau bar early Monday. Nick Bergamini, 22, vice-president of the Carleton University Students’ Association, said he and roommate Mark Klibanov were leaving Le Volt bar on Promenade du Portage at 1:45 a.m. when a group of about 10 men began yelling in English and Arabic that they were Zionists and Jews.” So nice, these Canadians.

UPDATE: Reader Toren Smith writes: “I’m sure the Canadian Human Rights Commission will be right on this.”
