Antisemitism is at an all-time high in Canada. That is the political way of saying that Jew-hate is hitting an all-time high in this country. While many of us think of the Canada Revenue Agency as a boring, slow-moving bureaucracy where nobody answers the phone, it has undergone a radical shift since the terrible events of October 7th. The CRA’s Charities Directorate has become a group of bean counters with brass knuckles.

We have seen eight major Jewish organizations wiped out in the last 18 months. This is not an audit; it is a regulatory red wedding. From the JNF and Ne’eman to Mazon and Masorti, it all started with Beth Oloth – patient zero for this new legal contagion. Since October 7th, we are seeing a high-velocity purge of Jewish organizations at a speed that would make a Silicon Valley startup blush.

The accusations being leveled are bunk arguments. The CRA is claiming these groups engage in “foreign military support,” but we are talking about playgrounds and fitness areas for soldiers and their families. The fact of the matter is, the CRA has signed off on this for the past six decades. To suddenly start calling playgrounds “military infrastructure” in 2024 makes it clear that something changed on October 7th.

The claim that there is a “lack of direction and control” over these funds is a technical gotcha. Every international charity uses local partners to distribute aid, but the CRA is only pulling out the microscope for Jewish organizations supportive of Jews living in their indigenous lands. If we applied this standard across the board, the entire Canadian charity sector would be dead by noon.

This is a statistical hit job. In 2025, a charity in support of Jews was 25 times more likely to be revoked than any other. If the CRA applied this administrative attrition locally to Canadian charities broadly that they have to Jewish organizations over the last 18 months, nearly 2,000 additional charities across the country would have been wiped out by the taxman.

Why is this happening? Because the CRA admitted it. They said they received 11,000 activist letters from groups engaged in anti-Israel bias. They’ve outsourced our national tax policy to a digital mob, taking orders from the social media comments section instead of the Tax Act. We have replaced the rule of law with trial by timeline; if the mob trends it, the CRA ends it.

Objectivity is dead. You only have to look at the Facebook page for the auditors’ union, the Professional Institute of the Public Service of Canada. The second the JNF was wiped out, the union was celebrating on social media with political slogans about “genocide”. The Federal Court of Appeal has already called this bias credible. When the ref is wearing the other team’s jersey, the game is rigged.

The CRA is now hitting the turbo button and using the nuclear option: the jeopardy order. In the Ne’eman Foundation’s case, they used it to freeze $2.5 million before the charity even finished its legal appeal. This is guilty until proven dead. They are bankrupting organizations so they can’t even hire lawyers to fight back, replacing due process with financial handcuffs.

You don’t have to be Jewish to care about this. Tax auditors should be looking at numbers, dollars, and cents – full stop. They are not the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. We need a Senate Finance Committee investigation to step in and end this. We have to get to the bottom of this because if it starts with the Jews, it’ll come for you.
