Report Exposes Millions in Tax-Deductible Donations Supporting Illegal Israeli Settlements and Military Activities in Occupied Palestine, Calls for Immediate Suspension of Charitable Status

Toronto, ON – A new report released today by Just Peace Advocates (JPA), Independent Jewish Voices (IJV) Canada and Miles Howe, PhD, reveals that millions of dollars in Canadian charitable donations have been funneled to organizations implicated in supporting illegal Israeli settlements, violent settler groups, and military activities in the occupied Palestinian territories. The report calls on the Canadian government to suspend the charitable status of these organizations, including the Mizrachi Organization of Canada, Jewish Heritage Foundation of Canada, Canada Charity Partners, the Ronnen Harary Foundation and the Heseg Foundation, pending further investigation.

The report was presented at a press conference earlier today, featuring UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese, who has described Israel’s actions in Palestine as “settler colonial genocide.” Albanese joined a panel of experts—including report co-author Miles Howe, Professor Anver Emon, and Palestinian-Canadian community member Khaled Mouammar—to highlight the findings and urge immediate action by the Canadian government.

The investigation reveals that Canadian charitable funds, enabled by tax benefits, have supported organizations directly involved in military operations and the expansion of illegal settlements in Palestine. This financial support implicates Canada in violations of international law and undermines the country’s stated commitment to human rights. “Canada's failure to stop the flow of taxpayer-supported money to Israel is contrary to international law, and likely renders Canada as being complicit with war crimes and crimes against humanity,” stated Mouammar during his remarks. 

Francesca Albanese’s presence adds significant weight to the report’s findings. As the UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories occupied since 1967, she has been a vocal critic of Israel’s policies. Her endorsement of the report underscores the global importance of addressing the complicity of foreign governments and charitable organizations in Israeli war crimes.

“Canada is violating its international obligations. This is not about principles, this is not about rhetoric, this is about binding obligations,” said Albanese.

The report urges the Canadian government to suspend the charitable status of implicated organizations and launch investigations into their potential violations of Canadian law, specifically their complicity in war crimes. It also calls for stronger enforcement of Canadian charity law, particularly for organizations operating internationally, to ensure funds are not diverted to support activities that violate international law.

The findings of this report challenge Canada to confront its role in enabling Israeli military actions in Palestine. With Canadian charities supporting illegal settlements and military activities in the occupied territories, the report calls for urgent action to hold these organizations accountable and to prevent further abuse of the Canadian charitable system.
