We applaud the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) for recently revoking the charitable status of the Jewish National Fund Canada (JNF-Canada) and Ne’eman Foundation. But, JNF-Canada and Ne’eman Foundation are two of dozens of Israel-focused charities that have violated CRA rules by assisting colonies in the West Bank, racist organizations and the Israeli military.
Over the past two years detailed complaints have been submitted to the CRA asking it to investigate more than a dozen other Israel-focused charities, including the Canadian Zionist Cultural Association, Mizrachi Canada, Jerusalem Heritage Foundation of Canada, Canada Charity Partners and HESEG Foundation. The CRA should investigate these organizations and others assisting West Bank colonies and the Israeli military.
Over 200 registered charities funnel over a quarter billion dollars in subsidized donations to Israel annually, which has a per capita GDP equal to Canada’s. As NDP revenue critic Niki Ashton recently posted “Not one cent of Canadian tax dollars should be funding genocide.”
Events are being planned so far in:
London, Sherbrooke, St. Catharines, Montreal, Regina, St. John's and other locations.
