Ted Schmidt is a celebrated journalist and religious education teacher based in Toronto. He is the former editor of the Catholic New Times and has written for The Globe, The Star, and Now Magazine. He was a high school teacher in both Catholic and public-school boards and is known for connecting religious education to social justice.

“I Was a Catholic Zionist“–An Eloquent Exploration of Judaism’s Moral and Ethical Tradition and Zionism’s Departure From 

In this important book, Ted Schmidt adds his Catholic voice to the many Jewish voices around the world who recognize that Zionism has turned its back on the humane Jewish tradition. He shows us that this universal moral and ethical tradition of Judaism still lives and, hopefully, will finally prevail. *

A more lengthy summary of the main thesis of Ted’s book is found at

> The Keep Hope Alive is a series of evenings  programmed by and hosted at the Carrot Common 348 Danforth Avenue..  Guest speakers are Canadians from a variety of backgrounds and careers who have taken a stand in a public and active way on the question of peace or conflict in Israel / Palestine (IP).  At some point [they] realized that the question of peace in Israel / Palestine is key to global justice, international law and to peace in the world, and had the courage to speak out publicly or to become active on the issue
> 
> My concern is the religious communities — including  the Roman Catholic hierarchy and administration — who have failed to speak loudly and clearly  in this unprecedented time of the genocidal attack  on the Palestinian people who again, and again have requested our solidarity.
> 
> We must act and speak in this time of unparalleled and undeserved suffering.
> 
> please let your MP know:Ceasefore now, end the occupation.
