Watch: Are Canadian charities getting tax breaks for funding illegal settlements?

October 17, 2025

Palestinian Solidarity

CBC’s The Fifth Estate just released the documentary “Funding the Occupation” where they travelled to the West Bank and spoke with several Palestinian families and communities who are the victims of Israeli war crimes. They also spoke with a far-right, racist, Israeli group that defended its destruction of Palestinian homes and violence against Palestinians.

There is ample, credible evidence that Canadian charities are actively funding Israeli terrorism: war crimes, apartheid, genocide, and its illegal occupation. The CRA and the Government of Canada have clear principles and legislation that charities must follow, along with the power to audit, suspend, and revoke these charities.

The CRA can and must take urgent action. Send a letter urging the CRA to abide by domestic and international law, as well as its own policies. The CRA has already received tens of thousands of letters from Canadians demanding they take immediate and decisive action to end their complicity. See the list of charities and qualified donees included in complaints to the CRA and add your voice now.
