...asking that CASW take an ethical position in voting down the motion at the International Federation of Social Work on February 18th that moved to expel the Israeli Union of Social Workers from the IFSW. CAEF and the co-sponsors of the petition, The Jewish Social Work Consortium, Doctors Against Racism and Antisemitism and The Jewish Therapist Collective, are grateful to acknowledge the principled position taken by CASW. Dear Andria Spindel, On behalf of the CASW President,

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

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

February 3, 2026  Dear Letter to the Editor/ Op Ed of the Marlet: By a 3-121 vote the University of Victoria Student Society (UVSS) denied the Students Supporting Israel( SSIUVIC), a university club, membership TWICE while perfunctorily approving every other student club. (" SSI Victoria Canada DENIED Registration for a Second Time") As Nobel Peace Prize winner the Rev Martin Luther King Jr said with great wisdom and prescience in Cambridge, Massachusetts in October 1967: "Wh

Feb. 2, 2026 Dear Editor, The Palestinian resistance forces have experienced a calamity in the West Bank where attacks on Israelis have dropped from 847 in 2023, to 504 in 2024, to 57 in 2025. The drop is primarily the result of IDF counter terrorism measures. Naturally, the Palestinians, unable to bear the shame of their failures accuse the IDF units of being "vigilante militias". Palestinians can call Israel anything they want, and do, but they are no match for the IDF that

Re: I'm a Zionist. I support Palestinian rights. My campus has no space for people who believe in peace, I've looked for others who eschew ideology in favor of pragmatism - and come up empty, Oliver Zinn, Jan. 24, 2026, Forward Jan. 26, 2026 Dear Oliver, The first place you want to look is in Israel that on five separate occasions presented the Palestinians with land for peace proposals that would have given them a state only to have all rejected, not one receiving a countero

Dear Prime Minister Carney, Why are we actively inviting Qatar to further infiltrate Canadian values through dubious investment strategies? Qatar,  as a key financial supporter of Hamas, openly funds terrorism and allows Hamas billionaire warlords to live in luxury in Doha. In effect, Qatar, with Iran, has unleashed an unholy war in Gaza. Qatar’s open support of Hamas has already permeated Canadian life to the point that violent Jew-hatred has become normalized, and growing s

In response set to a terrible antisemitic petition sponsored by NDP MP Heather MacPherson, CAEF  initiated this petition introduced by Conservative MP Roman Baber , that addresses human rights that must include Jews . Heather MacPherson wants to target people who have served in the IDF or other defense positions in Israel, people who support and defend the Jewish homeland. The CAEF petition points out this is discriminatory.   Please read, sign and share. Petition to the Gove

Dear Letter to the Editor: The disinvitation of Rabbi Hanan Leberman of Congregation Tifereth Israel Synagogue in San Carlos to the San Diego Alliance's "People's Breakfast" in honor of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. represents complete ignorance of and disrespect to the teachings of Dr. King. ( "Local Rabbi Disinvited From Speaking at King Breakfast Over Israel Connection".)  Dr. King was a proud Zionist. Yes, Dr. King was a proud Zionist. In October 1967 in Cambridge,

On CBC  Matt Galloway's The Current(11/18) Avril Benoit, CEO of Doctors Without Borders was permitted without challenge to spew endless antisemitic calumnies about the Jewish people of Israel including the IDF. (" Another Day, More Anti Israel Spin on CBC's The Current", Honest Reporting Canada, 11/26/25). What Matt Galloway, as a Canadian  should have done is challenge Avril Benoit with the details of one of Canada's most legendary battles in World War II, the battle to libe

Good morning Mr. Sheehan and best wishes to you and yours for a happy and healthy new year. I felt compelled this morning to draw your attention to the New Year’s Eve programming last night on CBC television that was shocking and horrifying. Correction, it wasn’t shocking given the steady diet of heavily biased anti-Israel reporting by the CBC that Canadians have been fed since October 7 2023. I took a screenshot while watching and then saw that Honest Reporting had emailed a

Dear Editor, Carleton University's Issac Jackman's Zionophobic screed demonstrates his denial of the existence of Judaism since Judaism is based SOLELY on the 3500 year old Jewish Bible aka the Old Testimony; that Jewish Bible has only ONE foundational narrative - the Jewish people's Return to Zion - what today is Israel. It is not complicated. For 3500 years Zionism has been the core value of Judaism. That is why Jerusalem is mentioned 659 times in the Jewish Bible. FYI the

Dear Attorney General Downey, When will hate crime laws be simplified and applied so that the police can do their work in protecting communities at risk? You hold specific legal power concerning hate speech charges. At present, would-be criminals, kidnappers and protesters proclaiming “ globalize the Intifada”, “gas the Jews”, etc., are allowed to hide behind masks and take over streets and malls.. This is a scenario redolent of Berlin in the l930’s where Nazi intimidation wa
