UEFA and FIFA may get a red card at the ICC for ignoring Israeli violations A landmark referral of UEFA and FIFA leaders to the International Criminal Court could set an important legal precedent.

"This historic case marks the 1st time sports leaders are being accused of these crimes & sends a warning to presidents of all other corporate entities in and beyond athletics. It offers a perfect opportunity to challenge the impunity of Israeli apartheid, occupation and genocide." buff.ly/vMJfRps

All slides have a grey background with a photo across the bottom of the slide a stone wall with the Al Aqsa Mosque in the background. Bright orange and teal accents through. Black text reads:  Powerful evidence in support of CRA's revocation of Canadian Zionist Cultural Association and Canada Charity Partners. Both of these organizations clearly violated CRA policy, not to mention domestic and international law. We requested the revocation documents from CRA and will provide more detail as more information is available. In the meantime, here is what we know about each of these organizations from our previous investigations.

For example: "“Ateret Cohanim is a Jerusalem-based settler organization with the goal of “securing a United Jerusalem,” — which it refers to as “Our Jerusalem” — and “reestablishing… Jewish communities” in East Jerusalem. In reality, this mission manifests as Ateret Cohanim working to build a Jewish demographic majority in Jerusalem’s old city and East Jerusalem by replacing the Palestinian residents of Jerusalem with Jewish settlers.” -- Defund Racism

Slide 4: CCP, and a similar organization, the Foundation for Public Policy Development, fund Israeli political lobbies, including notorious organizations like HonestReporting and NGO Monitor. NGO Monitor was created with the explicit intention to attack or delegitimize NGOs critical of Israel. Widely discredited, NGO Monitor is even banned as a source on Wikipedia. 

CCP also acts as a conduit for donations to any charity listed on the Israel Gives platform, which was included in SR Albanese’s report “From Economy of Occupation to Economy of Genocide.”

CCP has also funded organizations that support the Israeli military / soldiers like the Lone Soldier Centre In Memory Of Michael Levin and Brothers And Sisters In Arms – For The Democracy.

Text: We are reaching out regarding a statement from the OCA Board of Directors last week. We, as organizations, were deeply concerned to learn that not only has the OCA Executive Director repeatedly posted anti-Palestinian racism and support for Israel’s genocide on Instagram, multiple OCA accredited camps have hired Israeli military veterans. This work, as outlined below, is not about Jewish camps, nor is it about endangering children—in fact, it is the opposite. We have shared publicly available information from camps themselves, camps that are supporting a foreign state and foreign military engaged in occupation, apartheid, and genocide.

Text: As you will have seen in the OCA’s statement to Members, they identify the ongoing genocide (as confirmed by the UN and nearly every human rights organization worldwide, including B’Tselem, an Israeli organization) only as the “current conflict in the Middle East”. The OCA also clearly upholds the IHRA definition of antisemitism. The IHRA definition has long been critiqued by organizations like Independent Jewish Voices, and many others. As they say, “Israel and its supporters” use the IHRA definition of antisemitism as a “primary vehicle” to “equate criticism of Israel with antisemitism.” “Their goal is to suppress — and even criminalize — criticism of Israel and support for Palestinian rights...according to a [2019] survey, almost half of Canadian Jews believe that accusations of antisemitism are “often used to silence legitimate criticism of Israeli policies.” Because of this conflation, the IHRA definition “fuels anti-Palestinian racism and distracts from real antisemitism.”

Post-secondary education is entrenched in war, imperialism and settler colonialism.1 Here in Canada, it is directly connected to the settler colonial nation state. “The academy’s role in supporting state policies is crucial, even— and especially — as a presumably liberal institution. Indeed, it is precisely the support of a liberal class that is always critical for the maintenance of ‘benevolent empire’.”2 In other words, PSE institutions support for and participation in oppressive state policies is necessary to continue the facade of care, aid, peace, and progress while continuing to carry out imperialism and colonialism.
