CRA National Week of Action to demand the Canada Revenue Agency stop subsidizing genocide
Leading up to International Day of Charity, September 5, rallies will be held at about 20 Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) offices across the country. We are challenging the CRA over its lax attitude towards Canadian charities assisting Israel’s genocide. For the second year, activists are demanding that the revenue agency uphold its own rules regarding registered charities financing illegal West Bank colonies, racist organizations and foreign militaries.
Two Sets of Rules?
For decades, the Canada Revenue Agency has allowed hundreds of millions of dollars in charitable donations to be funneled into Israel – with zero accountability. No names. No listed recipients. No idea where this money goes to. All this, in complete contravention of the CRA’s reporting requirements. And the CRA sees no problem with this arrangement.
The CRA also knows that numerous Canadian charities are right now moving millions of dollars per year in charitable donations directly into the illegal Israeli settlements and continue to provide financial and material support to the genocidal Israeli Offensive Forces.
This is in direct contravention of the Canadian Criminal Code, customary international law, and Canada’s own public policy concerning Israel’s illegal occupation.
Yet the CRA does nothing to remedy this situation, and by tacit approval renders every single Canadian taxpayer complicit in Israeli war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide.
Is this an example of our so-called Canadian ‘morality’?
Every year, the CRA expects us to dutifully pay our own share of taxes in an honest and timely manner. Yet Canadian Zionist multimillionaires and billionaires are allowed to derive profit from misery, as the CRA turns a blind eye. Enough is enough. Genocide is not charity. War crimes are not charity. Zionism is not charity. Not one more cent in tax receipts for Palestinian erasure!
