At the Salon du Livre de Montreal on Friday United Nations commander in Rwanda in 1994, Romeo Dallaire, said Israel was committing genocide in Gaza. On the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People the former Canadian Senator responded to a question about whether he agreed Israel was committing genocide in Gaza. Widely quoted as an authority on genocide, Dallaire responded emphatically, “yes it is a genocide in Gaza”.

Roger Waters challenges McGill President & megadonor’s repression

Online rally coincides with two day student strike for Palestine at multiple Quebec universities & colleges

On Thursday, November 21 at 11 EST rock legend Roger Waters will join an online rally on “Students over donor money: the suppression of Palestine solidarity at McGill University and beyond.” The event is a response to McGill recently cancelling the room booking for the UN Special Rapporteur for the occupied Palestinian territories, suspending student club Solidarity for Palestinian Human Rights and seeking to have a court ban protest near their buildings.

rom November 22nd to 25th, Montreal will host a gathering of hundreds of legislators from NATO member states for its 70th Annual Parliamentary Assembly.

In order to ensure that the inevitable NATO calls for more military spending, increasing animosity towards China and Iran, and escalation of the war in Ukraine are countered by individuals and organizations that advocate for peace, the Canada-Wide Peace and Justice Network [CWPJN], representing 50 peace and social justice organizations across Canada, will be organizing a Counter Summit on Sunday, November 24th - with the support and participation of numerous activists, artists, and organizations from the Montreal area.

The recent status revocations of the Jewish National Fund of Canada Inc (JNFC) and Ne’eman Foundation Canada suggest that the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) has blinked first in the face of the International Court of Justice’s July 19, 2024, advisory opinion on the Legal Consequences arising from the Policies and Practices of Israel in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem. The two former charities had been involved for years – the JNFC, notably, since 1967 – in transferring Canadian taxpayer-subsidized charitable donations into the hands of Israeli intermediaries involved in undermining the territorial sovereignty of Palestine, specifically in East Jerusalem and the West Bank.

On November 21 rock legend Roger Waters will be participating in a timely webinar on “Students Over Donor Money: the suppression of Palestine solidarity at McGill University and beyond”

The Jewish National Fund of Canada had its bid to overturn the Canada Revenue Agency’s revocation of its charitable status dismissed by the Federal Court of Canada. The decision bolsters the CRA’s authority to revoke other Israel focused charities violating Canada’s Income Tax Act.

In a 16-page decision released November 8 federal court judge Whyte Nowak rejected the JNF’s application for a judicial review and a request for an injunction to force the CRA to overturn its revocation of the JNF’s charitable status. After 57 years as a registered charity the CRA has given the JNF until November 13 to dispose of tens of millions in assets.

Roger Waters says; Please, leave the kids alone. Professor, please stop banning student groups promoting justice. Please stop asking the courts to suppress anti-genocide protests. And please, please, please, Professor stop ignoring students’ righteous demands that McGill divest from an apartheid state committing a genocide.

Registered to Ronnen Harary, the founder of Spin Master Toys and the popular ‘Paw Patrol’ series, the Ronnen Harary Foundation was incorporated in 2021. Operating in association with Harary’s sister foundation, the 1 R32 Foundation, The Ronnen Harary Foundation has exclusively sent millions of dollars in charitable donations to the Jerusalem Municipality.

A new report released today by Just Peace Advocates (JPA), Independent Jewish Voices (IJV) Canada and Miles Howe, PhD, reveals that millions of dollars in Canadian charitable donations have been funneled to organizations implicated in supporting illegal Israeli settlements, violent settler groups, and military activities in the occupied Palestinian territories. The report calls on the Canadian government to suspend the charitable status of these organizations, including the Mizrachi Organization of Canada, Jewish Heritage Foundation of Canada, Canada Charity Partners, the Ronnen Harary Foundation and the Heseg Foundation, pending further investigation.

Building on the comprehensive work of Just Peace Advocates, including dozens of submissions to the CRA, including in regard to these five specific charities, we are pleased UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese will join a press conference on November 8, 2024.
