On November 15, 2025, the Canada Revenue Agency revoked the charitable status of Herut Canada Charitable Foundation (business number 714293479RR0001 and also known as Magen Herut Canada or Herut Canada).
On November 15, 2025, the Canada Revenue Agency revoked the charitable status of Herut Canada Charitable Foundation (also known as Magen Herut Canada or Herut Canada). We welcome this news after making two submissions to the CRA requesting an audit, and community members sending 19,282 letters. Also included in one of these complaints to the CRA was Shomrim Toronto, another Zionist paramilitary group.
Herut Canada, based in Dorval, QC, was initially registered as a charity in January 2021. Herut’s roots are with the pre-Israeli state Irgun terror group. In the late 1980s Herut became the Likud party. They market themselves as a proud Zionist organization. Their long list of activities includes: “Support for Lone Soldiers in the IDF [and] Practical Zionism / Settling the Land of Israel.”
Their sub-group, Magen Herut Canada (MHC), acts as a vigilante group. They offer free workshops of Krav Maga, a training used by the Israeli military. They have also openly fundraised to purchase protective gear for members who are required to have experience in security, policing or the military.
Herut Canada and their supporters may continue spewing anti-Palestinian racism, repeating anti-Muslim rhetoric, and aiding Israel’s apartheid, occupation, and genocide. But they can no longer do so while using our tax-subsidized dollars to do it. We encourage the CRA to continue investigating charities that violate international and domestic law, as well as Canadian public policy (whether from Global Affairs or the CRA itself). The CRA must end the Canada to Israel charity pipeline.
