To: Canada Revenue Office c/- Canadian GovernmentWe the undersigned call for the removal of charitable status of the Jewish National Fund. The Jewish National Fund (JNF) is one of the principle components of Israel's discriminatory system of land administration. The JNF was founded in 1901 to further the political project of establishing a Jewish state in Palestine. Its constitution requires the JNF to benefit Jews exclusively. It therefore promotes and implements policies that discriminate against the Palestinian population of Israel. It is a political organization, and as such should not hold charitable status in Canada.
The JNF is a quasi-official organisation of the Israeli state that exists to raise funds for the acquisition and development of land for Jewish settlement. As such, it provides one of the main mechanisms through which Israel's system of ethnic segregation and discrimination is enforced. Indeed, around 2/3 of JNF land was actually stolen from Palestinian refugees.
A prime example of JNF activity is Canada Park which is planted over the ruins of three Palestinian-Arab localities - Amwas, Yalu and Beit Nuba. The cemetery of Amwas is desecrated by Jewish National Fund activity, and the trees are planted among the surviving tombstones.
The JNF has been a major beneficiary of the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians perpetrated by the Israeli state. We the undersigned hereby petition the authorities responsible to rescind the charitable status of the JNF in Canada.
Sincerely,
The Remove the Charitable Status of the Jewish National Fund in Canada Petition to Canada Revenue Office c/- Canadian Government was created by members of Al Awda Toronto and written by Awda Return ([EMAIL PROTECTED]).

{Invite (mankind, O Muhammad ) to the Way of your Lord (i.e. Islam) with wisdom (i.e. with the Divine Inspiration and the Qur'an) and fair preaching, and argue with them in a way that is better. Truly, your Lord knows best who has gone astray from His Path, and He is the Best Aware of those who are guided.}
(Holy Quran-16:125)
{And who is better in speech than he who [says: "My Lord is Allah (believes in His Oneness)," and then stands straight (acts upon His Order), and] invites (men) to Allah's (Islamic Monotheism), and does righteous deeds, and says: "I am one of the Muslims."} (Holy Quran-41:33)
The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "By Allah, if Allah guides one person by you, it is better for you than the best types of camels." [al-Bukhaaree, Muslim]
The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) also said, "Whoever calls to guidance will have a reward similar to the reward of the one who follows him, without the reward of either of them being lessened at all."
[Muslim, Ahmad, Aboo Daawood, an-Nasaa'ee, at-Tirmidhee, Ibn Maajah]
