Fighting Antisemitism 2.0: It’s Time to Share Jewish Wisdom Read the letter from Annette Poizner, Help Us Fight Antisemitism Four years ago, I began devoting considerable time and energy to fighting antisemitism. Increasingly, I’ve come to a conclusion: We can’t win simply by fighting against antisemitism. We must give the world something to embrace. I’m entering a competition for a six-episode iHeartRadio podcast, and I’m asking for your support. Here’s why this matters in o

October 8, 2026 Sue Gardner, Chair Evan Balgord, Executive Director Canadian Anti-Hate Network Delivered by email: info@antihate.ca Dear Ms. Gardner and Mr. Balgord: On Sunday October 4, 2026, at 7:31 PM your Board of Directors member Nigel Barriffe, who is also President of the Elementary Teachers of Toronto (“ETT”), posted the message below on his Facebook account. Mr. Barriffe may believe that if he re-posts a message without comment, he can evade moral and legal responsib

Standing Together Against Antisemitism, Terrorism and Religious Hatred — October 7, 2026 The Canadian Organization for Hindu Heritage Education (COHHE) stands firmly in solidarity with the Jewish community in Belleville following the disturbing incident involving members gathered at the Sons of Jacob Synagogue on Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar. No one should ever have to fear for their safety while praying. A place of worship must be a sanctuary, not a pla

Ms. Johnson, I am writing to add my voice to the widespread disgust over the current, special issue of an online publication funded by the Canada Council for the Arts — the (weirdly named) Ex-Puritan. The guest editor’s grotesque praise for the depraved, sadistic, psychopathic assaults of Hamas and the assorted genocidal jihadis who joined its ranks on Oct. 7, as outlined in Marsha Lederman’s article in today’s Globe and Mail, calls for an immediate and forceful response from

Dear Editor, Peter Beinart needs to study Article 80 of the United Nations Charter, an international treaty, and he would learn that there is no "Palestinian territory". ("The Democrat's Policy on Palestine is Detached From Reality" 9/23/26). Article 80, an international treaty, which incorporates by reference the 1922 League of Nations Mandate for Palestine and the 1920 San Remo Resolution declares all of Israel including Judea, Samaria and Gaza to be the 3500 year old indig

President Woodin’s response, received October 2, 2026, is below CAEF’s letter. Dear President Woodin; Organizations that identify with the University are planning to hold an event on the steps of Sidney Smith Hall on October 7, 2026 called Honouring our Martyrs. The “martyrs” to whom the title refer are the perpetrators of the attacks on October 7, 2023, in which more than 1,200 Israelis, Canadians, and nationals from over 20 countries were slaughtered and kidnapped with unre

Dear President Melanie Woodin, As a previous donor and loyal supporter of the University of Toronto, I am writing re: Allowing the honouring of Hamas terrorists, this October 7, on the steps of Sidney Smith Hall. This planned event to honour terrorists as martyrs is a moral travesty that could forever stain the reputation of the University of Toronto. It would further endanger the lives of Jewish students, and spread more vicious desecration of plain historical truth, ensurin

Dear Maxime Bertrand, It is time to address how the tax-supported CBC applies a constant and flagrant double standard in all issues concerning Canadian Jews and Israel by: 1) Not addressing the proven genocidal plight of one million Uyghurs in China. 2) Ignoring the persecution of journalists, and complete trampling of human rights in Turkey. 3) Totally ignoring horrors occurring in Sudan, and the living hell of the women of Afghanistan. 4) Ignoring how Iran slaughters its ow

October 1, 2026 Mayor Carolyn Parrish and City Council City of Mississauga Dear Mayor Parrish and Council, It has come to our attention that an advertised event to be held at the International Centre in Mississauga features two individuals who have documented histories of making remarks that are discriminatory, antisemitic, and harmful to the community of Jews and non-Jews in your city. See information below about Dr. Sami Hamdi and Tareq Al-Suwaidan whose past presentations

September 25, 2026 Dear Minister Anand and PM Carney; “Neryah Leiter, son of Israeli Ambassador to the U.S. Yechiel Leiter, was seriously injured earlier today (September 23, 2026) in a car ramming by an Arab Muslim terrorist monster. This was one of an average of 15 Arab Muslim terrorist attacks against innocent Israel Jews every single day. ” This message was blasted across the Jewish world. What was your response? Minister Anand and Prime Minister Carney, you frequently ca

September 22, 2026 Chief Murray Rodd, Belleville Police Service Dear Chief Rodd, On behalf of the Canadian Antisemitism Education Foundation, I am writing to request that your office nominate Constable Jeff Smith for the Ontario Medal for Police Bravery. Yesterday, on the holiest day of the year for the Jewish people, Constable Smith demonstrated extraordinary courage, exposed himself to danger, and in an exchange of gunfire with a would-be assassin, he took a bullet and is s

Dear Mr. Smerconish, On your Saturday Sept 19th show, you stated that accusing Israel of carrying out a genocide was not controversial and Macklemore should not have been stopped from appearing in Boston. As a Jewish person, accusing us of carrying out a genocide is very controversial, and very libelous, and sickeningly ironic, because it is our people who have faced genocides and attempted genocides, the last on Oct. 7, 2023. Accusations against Jews for killing innocents, p

Ed Sheeran has been pathetically seduced by Macklemore's Zionophobia. " Free Palestine" is pure Zionophobia and nothing more. Macklemore and his Zionophobic ilk began screaming " Free Palestine" on 10/8 at a time when ALL that had happened was the koranic butchery and of 1200 Jews. That is what Ed Sheeran has been suckered into. Joining all those screaming in the streets and on campuses "Free Palestine" on 10/8! Ed Sheeran - Just another useful idiot of Hamas who denies

Re: Commentary: Efforts to silence 'NAZA' filmmakers and Macklemore only amplifies their work, Opinion by Lorraine Ali. Los Angeles Times Sept. 19, 2026 Dear Editor, Did you ever think that we go to concerts for the entertainment not to hear how much we should hate the Jews? As for efforts to stifle Naza, First off, consider that Naza is a combination of Nazi and Gaza. Calling Jews Nazis after they lost one third of their population to the German Nazis, and would lose the res

Dear Mr. Kraft, The Canadian Antisemitism Education Foundation commends you for taking an outspoken,commendable position against having Macklemore on the Ed Sheeran tour. There is no reason to indulge hatred and bigotry, ignorance and stupidity, that vilifies Israel and the Jewish people. No other anti-ethno-specific campaign would be tolerated. Americans need to know that while moral decisions may come with consequences, truth must be stated, loud and clear, and hatred must

Dear CBC: CBC’s Crystal Goomansingh Zionophobically reported that Amer Rabea “was killed at the hands of Israeli settlers”. News reports confirmed that as a rock-throwing terrorist he was killed while throwing rocks at Israeli soldiers. Palestinian rock-throwing terrorists are not innocent Canadian teenagers skimming stones off placid Canadian lakes. They are rock-throwing terrorists intending to murder Jews and sometimes they do. As esteemed Holocaust scholar Rafael Medoff h

Summary of Presentations by Anne Golden The premise of this day-long conference on antisemitism and its latest iteration — antizionism — was that Jew-hatred foretells a wider moral decay and threatens liberal democracy itself. Twenty renowned speakers, including prominent legal scholars, writers, Ambassadors, professors, rabbis, and institutional leaders spoke with candor and passion to the packed crowd of participants. Special features: Fireside chats between Ambassadors Deb

Dear Editor: Ed Miliband's appeasement of Hamas and the Palestinian Authority is no different than Neville Chamberlain's appeasement of Hitler. Article 80 of the United Nations Charter declares Judea and Samaria the indigenous, reconstituted homeland of the Jewish people and sovereign Jewish territory...

Regardless of how often the editors and reporters of New York Magazine try to convince themselves that islamophobia is the flip side of antisemitism, it simply is not so. (" Comments: Week of August 24, 2026") The fact is that "islamophobia" was created by the Muslim Brotherhood to prevent critical discussion of Islam as a 2025 report from the European Parliament makes clear. See: " Unmasking the Muslim Brotherhood. Brotherism, Islamophobia and the EU". 4. The Influence of Br

September 9, 2026 Concordia University's Board of Governors approved a Code of Rights and Responsibilities (last amended in October 2024) that is grounded in the following principles: "the values of civility, equity, respect, non-discrimination and an appreciation of diversity as manifested within the University and within society-at-large".
