Loading ...The Canada Revenue Agency has notified the century-old Jewish National Fund that it plans to revoke the group’s charitable status in Canada over support for military infrastructure in Israel, a decision the JNF says it will challenge in the courts
The group announced its intention to appeal, claiming the Canada Revenue Agency changed the rules for charitable donations long after the organization’s work had been approved
“Our position is that it is unjust for CRA to revoke a charity because a charitable object that it accepted almost 60 years ago is now no longer considered to be a valid charitable object,” JNF Canada’s national president Nathan Disenhouse wrote in a public statement released Thursday afternoon. “It is simply unjust to close a charity supported by over 100,000 Canadians based on reversing a decision the CRA made in 1967.”
