On January 3, 2021 new evidence was provided to Rob O’Reilly, chief of staff for the office of the RCMP Commissioner, regarding illegal Israeli military recruitment in Canada. Recently the RCMP indicated they were investigating Israeli military recruitment taking place in Canada.
The new evidence delivered to the RCMP is in addition to evidence provided to federal Justice Minister David Lametti on October 19, 2020.
It is a crime in Canada to recruit anyone for a foreign military. It is also a crime to aid and abet such recruitment by offering incentives and encouraging any person to serve in a foreign military.
The Foreign Enlistment Act states, “Any person who, within Canada, recruits or otherwise induces any person or body of persons to enlist or to accept any commission or engagement in the armed forces of any foreign state or other armed forces operating in that state is guilty of an offence.”
The only exception would be the recruitment of Israeli citizens who are not Canadian.
Within the first day after delivering the new evidence to the RCMP Commissioner, over 500 letters were sent to the RCMP Commissioner with their concerns about illegal Israeli recuriting in Canada. You can write one HERE.
