Excerpt:
A student supporter of Israel at Carleton University and an Israeli engineering student at the university say they are lucky to have survived an attack with what they say was a machete near a Gatineau bar early on Monday.
Nick Bergamini, 22, vice-president of the Carleton University Students' Association, said he and his roommate Mark Klibanov, 20, 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.
"These people must have been Carleton students because I recognized one of them," Mr. Bergamini said. "I said I love Israel because I support Israel's right to exist.
"I told them not to do this because I knew who they were, but I got hit hard on the back of the head. We ran to the bar entrance because bar security was there."
