News broke earlier this week about Canada Revenue Agency’s intention to revoke the JNF’s charitable status. Although this was positive news, only brought on by enormous grassroots pressure, we must be cautious in considering this a victory. It is not yet a done deal and the JNF, in its own July 25 media statement, announced that they were appealing and “JNF Canada will continue its charitable activity including collecting and receipting donations and distributing funds while the legal challenge is before the Federal Court of Appeal…JNF Canada is continuing its work”. So for now, JNF Canada (and by extension Canadian taxpayers) are still funding genocide and ethnic cleansing.
Attached are photos and a video from multiple #StopTheJNF pickets in Vancouver, initiated by CPA over the last 20 years.
