Shurat HaDin (SH), an Israeli lawfare organization, is attempting to “shut down” The Maple.
On January 25, SH tweeted that it has “issued urgent legal notices to Stripe, Apple Pay, and all major credit card networks demanding they cut off services” to The Maple.
SH has boasted that its mission is “bankrupting terrorism one lawsuit at a time.” Its activities have included suing UNRWA, a $1 billion lawsuit against Al Jazeera in 2025 and legal challenges against some people and groups who support BDS.
On February 4, The Canadian Jewish News reported: “[Nitsana Darshan-Leitner, SH’s founder] hopes that if authorities take a serious look at [The Maple’s] legal status, that could ‘serve as an alert, as a red flag for others’ to caution against similar projects.” She added, “Even opening an investigation brings attention to the website owners, and to others to take a step back and perhaps not to participate. And this is what we [SH] want.”
The Maple has not been contacted by any payment processor or law enforcement agency, nor have we received any formal legal threats of any sort, from anyone.
Remember when they raped a surgeon to death?
Wait, what?
Let’s call this what it is: foreign interference with press freedom in Canada.
Edit: For context https://lemmy.ca/post/60363517
We should be concerned for the safety of our fellow Canadians of Muslim faith and/or Palestinian ethnic origin that hundreds of battle hardened zionists might be returning to Canada after having participated in committing genocide abroad. The Maple is doing the right thing blowing the whistle but they have only covered a small number of potential criminals.
More reason to BDS and hate the zio scum.
cool. a news outlet I did not know about. thank you, imbeciles
Motherfuckers.
Death to israel
