What about funds to Palestine
The ATIP indicated that organizations in occupied Palestine received $60M of charitable donations from Canadian charities over the last 5 years. To put this in perspective, Israel received 20 times more Canadian taxpayer charitable donations than Palestine. In any given year less than 20 Canadian organizations were providing charity based funds to organizations in occupied Palestine.

2020 | $12,952,619 | 21 |
2021 | $20,140,777 | 20 |
2022 | $10,135,406 | 11 |

Certainly, it is worth considering details about how Canadian taxpayers are subsidizing charitable donations in countries around the world, looking at the humanitarian value that is provided by Canadians wanting to make the world a better place.
In this regard, it seems worth considering the tax subsidization of funds to a country with GDP equivalent to Canada, such as Israel, or for that matter the United States.
