Letter from Richard Sherman to Editor of Carleton U Student newspaper, The Charlatan, about Zionophobic professor Isaac Jackman
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..
