On 22 April 2026, Palestinian and Jewish Unity, Ontario Palestinian Rights Association, Canadian Foreign Policy Institute, Just Peace Advocates, and other key individuals submitted a complaint to the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) outlining a group of charities promoting the Israeli military and potentially aiding and abetting illegal military recruiting.

The complaint highlights 11 charities, all of which are schools / associated with schools, that promote the Israeli military to their school students. This type of activity is plainly in contravention of the CRA’s rules for registered charities that states plainly, “increasing the effectiveness and efficiency of Canada’s armed forces is charitable, but supporting the armed forces of another country is not.” Further, the Foreign Enlistment Act clearly states that recruiting or inducing any person or body of persons to enlist or accept any commission in a foreign military is illegal.
