In a sign of its lax attitude towards charities promoting apartheid and genocide, the Canada Revenue Agency granted Magen Herut Canada (MHC) charitable status. With its roots in a pre-state terrorist organization, MHC operates as a vigilante group in Toronto.
Please take a minute to ask the CRA to immediately suspend MHC’s ability to grant donors’ tax credits.
A submission was recently made to the CRA calling for audit and revocation of HMC recently.
How is a Zionist vigilante group a registered Canadian charity?
In Toronto MHC acts as a vigilante group. Its members recently descended on the University of Toronto to intimidate opponents of Israel’s genocide in Gaza. MHC offers free workshops of Krav Maga, a training used by the Israeli military. The registered charity openly fundraises to purchase protective gear for members who must have experience in security, policing or the military.
MHC works closely with private security firm JFORCE, which provides “protest security” for Israel supporters. Charities aren’t supposed to have close ties to for profit companies. It’s unusual for a registered charity to have close ties to a private corporation since taxpayer subsidized charities aren’t allowed to underwrite for-profit firms.
Herut’s roots are with the pre-Israeli state Irgun terror group. In 1948, Albert Einstein and other prominent Jewish intellectuals labeled Herut “a political party closely akin in its organization, methods, political philosophy and social appeal to the Nazi and Fascist parties.” In the late 1980s Herut became the Likud party.
The CRA needs to immediately suspend Magen Herut Canada’s ability to offer tax receipts as it takes the necessary step to revoke its charitable status.
