An anti-Israel protest outside a debate on “the two-state solution” featuring prominent Israelis turned ugly on Wednesday, with two activists arrested and two others removed from Toronto’s Meridian Hall.

The event was part of the Munk Debates, a series of debates led by the “brightest thinkers” about “big issues of the day,” and featured prominent Israelis — former Israeli ambassador the U.S. Michael Oren and former Israeli minister of interior Ayelet Shaked, who were against a two-state solution. It also featured former Israeli prime minister Ehud Olmert and Israel’s former justice and foreign minister and former chief peace negotiator Tzipi Livni, who were in support of a two-state solution.

The debate drew a crowd of masked protesters carrying Palestinian flags and holding up signs.
