When a talk featuring IDF soldiers was disrupted in Toronto last week, most media demonized the pro-Palestine crowd using debunked claims, rather than focusing on the soldier who threw students to the ground. This is the most thorough investigation yet.

NEW: What really happened at the IDF soldiers talk in Toronto last week. Threadđ§” The incident became international news, with many reports omitting the violence of one of the IDF soldiers and repeating false claims. This @TheGrindTO investigation is the most in-depth so far.

Yesterday, two soldiers in the Israeli military were speaking at an off-campus event in Toronto organized by university student groups, before the event was disrupted. Earlier this year, we obtained audio of two IDF soldiers speaking at a similar event.
