JNF’s loss of charitable status justified by its conduct

Hill Times - Sept. 4, 2024 / Washington Report on Middle East Affairs - October 2024

The Jewish National Fund (JNF) has operated in Canada for over 100 years, accepting charitable donations from Canadians who support the State of Israel, its goals and actions.

While the JNF does raise funds to plant trees and build infrastructure (military and civilian) in Israel, its main objective is buying so-called state land in Israel proper and restricting its sale and use to Israeli Jews.

Gaza Article Provides Broad but Incomplete Perspective

Cape Breton Post (Saltwire): August 1, 2024

Gwynn Dyers's July 30 Gaza article provides a broad but incomplete perspective on the ongoing Israel assault on Gaza that followed Hamas' October 7, 2023 attack on Israel. As Dyer mentioned, Hamas' attack was partly a barbaric ploy to maintain their relevance by antagonizing the Israeli state.

Unmentioned is Israel's intent to convince Arab states to ignore the Palestinian cause by offering advanced arms and surveillance gear to dictators eager to suppress dissent.

Canada Stands by the U.S. in its Support of Genocide

Washington Report on Middle East Affairs: June/July 2024 – Vol. XLIII #4

Bob Rae, Canada’s United Nations ambassador, recently stated that:
“…the ultimate responsibility for the conduct of the {Gaza] war lies with the parties who are fighting.’” In so stating, Mr. Rae, a former Rhodes Scholar, ignores the United States’ pivotal role in providing Israel with weapons, money and diplomatic support. Of course, Rae’s rhetoric reflects official Canada’s deference to U.S. Middle East policy.

Hanson Misses the Point on University Free Speech

Ottawa Sun: 11 May 2024

Victor Davis Hanson’s recent article, “can the current universities be saved?” offers numerous bold statements on the sad state of America’s youth but no supporting evidence. Apparently the mere words of this classics scholar and political commentator are sufficient to convince readers.

Hezbollah Still a Useful Boogeyman for Israel and United States

Canadian Dimension: January 15, 2024

The Israeli state is rightly concerned about the possibility of large-scale attacks from the Lebanese militia group Hezbollah. Much is made of the group’s links to Iran, Israel’s former ally and current Middle East competitor. In the subjective world of realpolitik, good and evil are defined by whether or not a given state supports the actions of another.
