Dear Letter to the Editor: Judith Thurman myopically writes that Gertrude Stein " never seems to have taken antisemitism too seriously".  ("Say It Again", The New Yorker, October 6, 2025, page 66). Huh? Gertrude Stein translated twelve speeches of the Nazi loving Petain and brought them to America trying to peddle this antisemitic drivel  to American publishers -- who not surprisingly rejected them. "Not take antisemitism  too seriously". Are you kidding, Judith? If Gertrude

Feb. 16, 2026 Wendi S. Williams, PhD, President of the American Psychological Association Dear Dr. Williams, It has come to my attention that the Coalition of National, Racial and Ethnic Psychological Associations have announced their opposition to the establishment of a Jewish branch because Jews have white skin and whites are the colonizers, slaveholders and in the case of Jews, slum landlords. I can assure the American Psychological Association that not a single Jewish psy

A Bad Decision Can Be Corrected Dear David Mastin, President of the Elementary Teachers Federation of Ontario: I have become aware that you have made a horrendous decision to be advised about "antisemitism awareness" by Jewish Voices. Jewish Voices is a Zionophobic organization made up of Jews who have internalized Jew hatred *. You may not be aware that Jewish history is unfortunately made up of some Jews who have internalized jew hatred. Two of the most infamous  Jews who i

Read Ariel Kahana’s  article in Israel Hayom  of interview with K., a Shin Bet investigator who interrogated the Nukhba terrorists.  Here are several central paragraphs: “During the months of the war, K. met the cruelest of murderers, those who committed the inconceivable crimes in the Gaza envelope on October  7 . ‘What stands out most there is the banality. As Hannah Arendt said, the banality of evil. An ordinary person who commits acts of atrocity. Some of them were not ev

Jews Come in All Colours February is Black History Month in Canada. Jews and non Jews need facts-Jews are diverse racially, ethnically, spiritually, but constitute a people with a land, language, history, faith, customs, culture and shared values. The Jewish Independent  published a report with stats on Canadian Jews Read excerpts about the shrinking Jewish Canadian population. “The 2021 census also asked about ethnic or cultural origin. In this instance, the number of people

TAKE ACTION The Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario (ETFO) has chosen Independent Jewish Voices, a fringe, anti-Zionist group to train its executive on antisemitism. At a time of rising antisemitism within Ontario schools, this is completely unacceptable.  Read article by Lynne Cohen  in the National Post,  February 10, 2026 which documents the antisemitism of IJV and its leadership. Take action  now and send a message to ETFO leadership to demand credible, representat

Dear University of Victoria President (Interim or permanent); Reading in the SSI news bulletin that your university has again voted NOT to register a Jewish student organization is alarming. While it may be the student body that voted, you need take a deep look in the proverbial mirror and ask, What are you doing that engenders Jew hatred? What are your faculty teaching that supports isolating and intimidating, excluding and denigrating Jewish students? You are the Adults, we

The decision by the Elementary Teachers Federation of Ontario (“ETFO”) to engage Independent Jewish Voices (“IJV”) to conduct antisemitism training for its executives is, to be blunt, a sick joke.   IJV represents the Canadian Jewish community the way that Jim Jones’ People’s Temple or the Westboro Baptist Church represents Canadian Christians.  They’re “independent” for a reason – no mainstream Jewish group will associate with them, as their values and organizational purpose

Dear Letters to the Editor: Desperate for a few dollars the Sydney Morning Herald  (SMH) is complicit with the Zionophobic* Jewish Council of Australia (JCA) in publishing an "ad" criticizing President Herzog's visit to Australia; an ad filled with fictional names, names of proud Zionists who have publicly said that they never agreed to their names being used as well as the names of three concentration camp kapos. Only a Zionophobic* Advertising  Dept at SMH  supporting the Z

Dear Worldmeter team, I write to take exception to your listing of "Palestine" which is not a recognized state by any standard, despite having audacious western countries declare they do or will recognize it. So, if this is true of your company, "Worldometer has been recognized as one of the best free reference websites by the American Library Association (ALA), the oldest and largest library association in the world." then you need correct your error. How can you be trusted
