Dear Editor, Re: ANALYSIS: Birth of an overseas alliance aids in fighting imperial control, Filipino and Palestinian Indigenous peoples have faced colonization and are still experiencing the aftermath today. Julia C. Sequeira, Nov 6, 2025, Humber Etc. Dec. 10, 2025 Dear Editor, Julia C. Sequeira appears quite misinformed about Zionism such that she demonized Israel by describing it as a calumny. All Zionism is, is the yearning by Jews to live in the land of their ancestors,

Letter to Mayor Olivia Chow, Toronto, from Lawrence and Monique Korson, December 9, 2025, requesting the Mayor take leadership in a conference of Canadian mayors to address antisemitism
Dear Mayor Chow, I am writing to you as a deeply concerned citizen regarding the significant rise in antisemitism that Toronto and the GTA have experienced in recent months. Members of the Jewish community — along with many other Torontonians — are increasingly anxious about their safety, their inclusion, and their place in the civic fabric of our city. Many in the community feel a profound disappointment in the response of Toronto’s leadership. The expectation has always bee

Dear Letter to the Editor: The University of Toronto " Varsity's" Editor in Chief Eleanor Yuneun Park should not be genuflecting to the totally debunked statistics of the" Gaza Health Ministry". ("UTM Muslim Students Association Sends Legal Letter to Stephen Lecce"). Debunked statistics that reflect the infamous words of Nazi Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels: " If you tell a lie often enough, it becomes the truth".

Letter to Toronto Public Library management from Daniel Harris, December 7, 2025, regarding hateful antiZionist image in children’s book by Yaya Herrero
Dear TPL Management, I am writing to bring to your attention a serious concern regarding the children’s book Human Rights by Yayo Herrero (2025, Square Triangle / Seven Stories Press), which is currently in your collection. A recent review by UK Lawyers for Israel (UKLFI) identified an illustration in the book that appears to depict an soldier with a Star of David in a menacing and demonized manner (see page 30). UKLFI has raised concerns that this image is harmful and likel

Richard Sherman, Florida, wrote to the Cornell Sun, explaining Zionism, the core precept of Judaism, in response to a student of Near East Studies, who ignorantly abuses Zionism
Dear Letter to the Editor: Hannia Arevalo may be a student who majors in Near East Studies , but she in fact does not understand that Zionism is THE fundamental pillar of Jewish identity. (" Slope Day and the the Politics of being ' Apolitical'"). It is quite simple to explain. Judaism is based SOLELY on the 3500 year old Jewish Bible aka the Old Testament. That Jewish Bible has only ONE foundational narrative: the Jewish People's Return to Zion -- what today is Israel. I

Words Matter, by Richard Sherman
“The enabling document of the Palestinian Authority is the 1964 PLO Charter which demands the annihilation of every Jew in Israel. These annihilation clauses have never been revoked as per the requirements of Article 33 of the PLO Charter. Yes, words matter. The unrevoked Article 7 of the Hamas Charter requires that every supporter of Hamas, including students, academics, journalists and politicians murder every Jew on earth. Yes, words matter.

CAEF Letter to the Lord Mayor of Dublin (Nov. 29, 2025) regarding the motion to rename Chaim Herzog Park, erasing Jewish history and adding to Ireland’s record of antisemitism
Dear Mayor McAdam and Dublin Councillors; You bring dishonour to your city and increase the surging antisemitism when you contemplate and, I expect approve, the renaming of Herzog Park, no doubt simply because he was a Jew. Ireland has long stood out as a Western nation that embodied antisemitic tropes, lies and bigotry so rewriting your own history to remove a significant Irish Jew is not a surprise, but is a further example of your move to dehumanize Jews, eradicate Jewish

Letter from Gary Gerofsky to the Hamilton Spectator on media bias shaped by CRT, ignoring attacks and kidnappings of Nigerian Christians by Islamist extremists
Dear Editor, I would like to ask the media the following question: Why do Nigerian Christian girls not matter and why do some British and European girls not matter? The answer, in my opinion, is that the media in 2025 are protecting the villains and ignoring the victims for political reasons. It seems that everyone in MSM is afraid to speak out against rape gangs in Europe and murderous terrorists who abduct and brutalize young girls in Nigeria by the hundreds. The fear to pu

Letter from Richard Sherman, Florida, to the CBC Ombudsman addressing CBC's reporting of Toronto's Palestinian flag raising, noting the flag represents ahistorical antisemitic messages
Dear Ombudsman, On November 11 CBC Reports hosted by Tyler Cheese presented a one sided " report" ", Palestinian Flag Will Fly For 1st Time at City Hall" which is ahistorical and relied on a documented anti semite to support a non existent " Palestinian" state.

Letter from Richard Sherman to the Houston Chronicle exposes CAIR and related Islamic organizations as Muslim Brotherhood affiliates promoting antisemitic, terror-supporting agendas

Mayor Farkas and City Council, I cannot express to you my disappointment in the decision to raise the Palestinian flag at City Hall later this month. I am equally flabbergasted by the manoeuvring that seemingly took place, to facilitate this by changing the date to coincide with an actual meaningful date for Palestinians. Perhaps it's worth noting that the originally scheduled date of Nov 30, is the annual commemoration of the 850,000 Jews who became refugees when they were f
