David Cooper, vice president of government relations with the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs, said that while Canada doesn’t provide direct transfers to Palestinian government, there can be ties between terror groups and the aid groups and non-governmental organizations it does help. “In light of Hamas’ unprecedented atrocities against Israeli civilians, this is a key time for Canada to re-examine its humanitarian aid to Gaza,” said Michael Mostyn, the group’s CEO. “B’nai Brith Canada has long raised our concerns about the misappropriation of funds in Hamas-controlled Gaza, particularly in light of antisemitic and inciteful teaching materials funded by UNWRA, subsidized by Canadian tax dollars.
