Bankrolling Crimes – Canadian Investment in Israeli Occupation, Apartheid & Genocide 39:31 Min. by Green Planet Monitor, April 25, 2026
The Canadian financial sector is deeply engaged in supporting Israel’s unlawful occupation of Palestine, bankrolling Jewish colonization, apartheid and genocide there, along with internationally wrongful Israeli acts in Lebanon and the illegally annexed Syrian Golan Heights. That’s the finding of a new report released on April 9 by the Canadian human rights group, Just Peace Advocates. The GPM speaks with JPA campaigner Becca Steckle.
David Kattenburg with the Green Planet Monitor recently talked with Becca Steckle from Just Peace Advocates about the findings of our report released on April 9th.
David and Becca discussed the report, that reveals over a hundred Canadian financial institutions that have invested half a trillion US dollars in Israeli activities deemed unlawful by the International Court of Justice and other human rights bodies. Among these: eleven Canadian pension funds, eight banks, seven insurance companies, and 85 fund managers. The report only covers what is disclosed through US SEC reporting, and so does not cover all complicit investments–just those these financial institutions are required to disclose.
Thanks to the Green Planet Monitor for this coverage of our findings.
New report by Just Peace Advocates shows over $526 Billion USD invested in complicit companies by more than 100 Canadian financial institutions including pensions (e.g AIMCo chaired by Steve Harper), banks, and insurances companies.
Is it defence spending, or spending on giving to USA to give to genocidal maniac Israel?
