Pro-Palestinian encampments at the University of Toronto and Stanford University have sparked controversy by hosting individuals with histories of antisemitism. At U of T, a member shouted antisemitic remarks at Jewish students, while at Stanford, an imam made antisemitic statements comparing Zionist Jews to Nazis. The Southern Poverty Law Center flagged the imam for advocating antisemitic conspiracy theories and violence against Jews. Canadian campuses, including U of T, have been criticized for fostering antisemitism, with professors testifying about rising 'Jew hate' incidents.

NEW: At Stanford's encampment yesterday, an imam with a history of antisemitic statements told a small audience that Zionist Jews should "go back where they came from" and pointed at a Jewish student and said, "Ya'll became like the Nazis." @jewishsf https://t.co/hC4pFgtR6d
