Last year, the CRA revoked the charitable status of the Jewish National Fund of Canada in part for failing to have control and direction of donations sent to Israel and giving to entities not deemed charitable causes.

Past CRA audits had scrutinized JNF for “conducting projects in the occupied territories” and “support for armed forces of another country.”

Activists have also complained to the CRA about the Canadian Zionist Cultural Association (CZCA), a registered Canadian charity that sends millions of Canadian tax-deductible donations to entities in Israel affiliated with the military, including the Association for Israeli Soldiers and Friends of the IDF.
