If you live in North America, or Europe, you have subsidized the ethnic cleansing of Palestine and not only through paying taxes. A network of private charities funnels an estimated $50 million annually from the U.S. and $222 million from Canada into an illegal settlement enterprise now holding over 750,000 settlers across 210+ settlements and 390 outposts. Growing twice as fast as Israel proper, this colonial footprint is being hyper‑accelerated by a far‑right Israeli government that has authorized billions in infrastructure, opened 50+ settlements since late 2022, and rolled out land‑registration policies to trigger mass Palestinian dispossession. This sophisticated abuse of tax laws and weaponization of tax-deducted loopholes, means that all of us are directly subsidizing the eviction of Palestinians from their own homes — whether we want to or not. Are you surprised, dismayed, and angry? Want to do something to stop this? Join our December Salon to learn more.
