Please help us challenge this opinion piece by Joe Warmington in Toronto Sun, adding fuel to anti-Palestinian racism by making false claims about the BDS movement and pro-Palestine protests.

At a minimum, opinion articles are supposed to be based on facts. Warmington doesn't even meet this standard.

There are numerous angles to take in responding to Warmington, but here are some ideas.

  • This opinion piece makes false claims about the BDS movement. He claims it helps Hamas and funds hate.
  • Warmington completely absolves Israel of any responsibility for its actions. He puts all of the blame on Hamas for the Palestinian civilian deaths in Gaza and the West Bank since October 7.
  • This opinion piece insinuates that everyone behind antisemitic actions are pro-Palestine supporters.
  • The article wants to instill a sense of panic as if Hamas is on our streets in Canada. It accuses all pro-Palestine protesters of being pro-Hamas.

Since we've included the email for submitting letters to the editor, you may consider writing your letter such that it could be published in the letters section.  Toronto Sun asks for letters of 250 words or less.
