On Thursday October 16, CBC’s The Fifth Estate released “Funding the Occupation.” In the documentary, they travelled to the West Bank and spoke with several Palestinian families and communities who are the victims of Israeli war crimes.

The CRA cannot claim ignorance. Between 2021 and 2025, we submitted dozens of complaints to the CRA focusing on more than 50 Canadian charities and qualified donees. Some of these submissions were made alongside other organizations such as IJV, PAJU, CFPI, ICJP Canada, and others. These efforts also grew out of the Palestinian-led movement Defund Racism.

This is also a prime opportunity for the CRA to take action in line with the National Security and Intelligence Review Agency’s (NSIRA) review that found the division tasked with ensuring charities do not fund terrorism were potentially “driven by bias and discrimination.”

There is ample, credible evidence that Canadian charities are funding Israeli terrorism: war crimes, apartheid, genocide, and its illegal occupation. To not audit, suspend, and revoke these charities simply reinforces anti-Muslim discrimination and anti-Palestinian racism. The CRA can and must take urgent action.
