And so it goes. All of this is, of course, very revealing and very damning information. Those paper trails come back to haunt people, it seems. Now there is nothing wrong with giving money to your own causes and to your own people. Jews have a perfect right to support their own group to the extent they need support and that support can be marshalled.
Nobody argues that.
They do not have the right, however, to do that under the cover of a charitable, tax exempt institution, as not a few fundraising organizations are doing. Revenue Canada would not identify the targets of its audits. If they do, they will lose their tax exempt status. Directors of such a charity could face prosecution under the Income Tax Act. Israeli settlers and fundraisers boast that supporters in Canada's Jewish community contribute far more, on a per capita basis, than America and other Jews living outside Israel.
