—————————————————————————————
In 2010, after the Gaza Freedom Marches, Western University hosted its first “apartheid week”, which aimed to raise awareness of Palestinian life under Israel’s apartheid regime (see heading Unique week gets mixed reviews).
2. Writer Yves Engler was invited to apartheid week to discuss his newly-released book, “Canada and Israel Building Apartheid” (see heading Canada most pro-Israel in the world: author)
3. Western University’s administration, however, attempted to bar Engler from speaking at apartheid week on claims that he would incite violence (see heading Conspiracy to silence or juvenile pranks?)
