CAEF Congratulates the People of the United States of America on the 250th Anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, July 4, 2026 “To my fellow Americans, I dedicate with love this immortal heritage of our forefathers. May these words live in our hearts forever and ever, for no good man loses his freedom but with his life.” Arthur Szyk, Jewish American Illustrator The first Jew arrived in New Amsterdam as early as 1585. Jews experienced discrimination from their first a

Saudi born Omar Alghabra does not represent Canadian Jews Omar Al Ghabra’s government appointment tells Jewish Canadians that they are second class citizens because of who they are, especially in their own house of democracy.

Dear Letter to the Editor: Mark Hage cites Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International and BTselem to support his progressive criticism of the Jewish people of Israel (" VFI Outrage"). He conveniently ignores the fact all three are proven Zionophobic organizations. The founder and former president of Human Rights Watch, Robert L. Bernstein, declared in a lengthy and famous Op Ed in The New York Times in 2009, that Human Rights Watch had devolved into an anti Israel organization

Recognizing Allies and Friends Makes Us Stronger The Jewish community, here and globally, is feeling alone, alienated in part from mainstream culture and specifically targetted by mobs of antisemites, masquerading as antizionists. Many in media, academia and cultural institutions have taken positions that isolate Jews, denigrate Israel and even demonize Judaism. But we are NOT alone. The Jewish community needs to know who its friends and allies are. That’s why we at CAEF wa

CAEF Marks 1000 Days since the October 7, 2023 Massacres and Atrocities On October 7, 2023, Israel suffered the worst mass terror attack in its history, and the Jewish people suffered the worst single-day massacres and atrocities since the Holocaust. We encourage our readers to view The Killing Roads to bear witness. Caution: We discourage viewing of this film by persons under 16. Those who deny, condone, or rationalize these horrific massacres are far too many. They hold res

June 8, 2026 Dear Forward, Zionism for religious Jews means the yearning by Jews to return to the land of their ancestors to pray at the remnants of the Holy Temple. Zionism for secular Jews is the yearning to live in an independent strong Jewish country away for howling mobs shouting to globalize the intifada. Democratic socialism is another clever way of taking Iran's position vis a vis the existence of the Jewish state, similar in duplicity to the naming of the organizatio

Dear Editor: In your June issue, there was an article by Maryam Siddiqi about Winnipeg. She recommended the Canadian Museum for Human Rights, particularly the "Nakba" exhibit "exploring Palestinians' forced displacement over generations." There are many historians, including Sir Martin Gilbert, who dispute this. The Arabs left because their leaders told them to leave and return when the Jews were defeated. There is currently a huge uproar about this exhibit. The only Jewish b

Knowing of Qatar's record, I assume that there will be some ideology included that if similar to Qatar's multi-billon dollar investment in American education can't be a positive for our people. Here is the column from Jihad Watch that prov

Dear Isha Khan, Are you open to including Moroccan Jews, Algerian Jews, Libyan Jews, Syrian Jews, Tunisian Jews, Lebanese Jews, Egyptian Jews, Turkish Jews, Yemenite Jews and Iraqi Jews in your presentation of Nakba?

Given the many ahistoric errors in the exhibit, the controversy over the very claim of a disaster when "Nakba" means the humiliating defeat of 5 Arab armies that tried to eradicate the Jews, and the evidence of bias and interference in the development of this exhibit that puts shame to a government funded museum, one founded by visionary Jewish community leaders, we ask that everyone sign the CIJA petition.
