New Report Warns Of Israeli Foreign Influence Activities In Canada

 

Israeli Foreign Influence, Intervention, and Transnational Repression in Canada warning double standard accountability

A new report from Canadians for Justice and Peace in the Middle East (CJPME) is raising the alarm about the illicit influence activities of the Israeli government, which has been engaging in deception and covert ops to intervene in Canadian public affairs. The report, titled “Israeli Foreign Influence, Intervention, and Transnational Repression in Canada,” also looks at Israel’s repressive targeting of its critics outside of its borders, including advocating for restrictions on Canadians’ democratic rights. The report urges Canada to acknowledge Israel as a threat actor in terms of foreign interference and hold malicious actors accountable for their activities targeting Canadians.

"Until now, Canada’s public debates on foreign influence have conspicuously excluded any discussion of Israel, despite its documented pattern of engaging in covert influence, deception, and racist disinformation,” said Michael Bueckert, Vice President of CJPME and lead author of the report. “Canada must finally acknowledge Israel as a threat actor, end the double standard, and take action to counter its illegitimate actions within our borders.”

The report highlights a number of reported examples of foreign interference in Canada, in which Israel has attempted to covertly and deceptively influence decisions or outcomes. In multiple instances, the Israeli state has hired Canadian individuals or businesses as proxies to hide its role in influence activities.  (more...)
