While the Canadian government is quick to investigate Muslim charities, it has dragged its feet on acting against the violations committed by a pro-Israeli group.

The CRA has yet to take any action against Mizrachi Canada, which faces multiple allegations including violation of the Income Tax Act, the Crimes Against Humanity and War Crimes Act, and going against official Canadian policy.
What's concerning is that this website allows donors from the UK and Canada to contribute in their home country's currency and receive tax receipts from their respective countries. What's more concerning about Mizrachi Canada is that for years, it predominantly used its website to transfer funds outside Canada, yet for most of this period, it failed to disclose any of the recipients.
"What we found in going through that is that 28 of those agents are located in the Israeli settlements, the occupied territories in East Jerusalem. And several of those agents are involved in highly problematic activities," says Howe, who has conducted extensive academic research on the activities of Israeli charities in Canada.
Mouammar and his colleagues copied their requests regarding Mizrachi Canada multiple times to the director of the agency as well as to Marie-Claude Bibeau, the Minister responsible for the Canada Revenue Agency. Yet, they are still waiting for any action to be taken.
