Canada Revokes Charitable Status of Jewish National Fund
Decision follows allegations of funding military projects and violating tax regulations
- The Canada Revenue Agency has rescinded the Jewish National Fund of Canada's ability to grant tax credits.
- The revocation stems from the JNF's alleged support for Israeli military projects and activities in occupied territories.
- JNF Canada plans to challenge the decision in the Federal Court of Appeal, citing antisemitic bias claims.
- Activists have long criticized the JNF for its role in Palestinian dispossession and institutional discrimination.
- The move marks a significant shift in Canada's oversight of charities involved in foreign political activities.
