It’s currently legal for Canadians to join the Israeli military, as the Foreign Enlistment Act only prohibits citizens from fighting for non-state forces, designated terrorist organizations and militaries of states at war with an ally.
As of March 2025, more than 1,500 Canadian citizens with at least one other nationality were serving in the Israeli military, according to a document from the Israeli government. This figure does not account for Canadian citizens who have yet to acquire Israeli citizenship.
Seems less about the IDF and Israel and more about general principles:
The poll found that 47 per cent of Canadians said they agree with making it illegal for citizens to fight for the military of any foreign government.
ISIP the Israeli state of Israel and Palestine now ISLIP the Israeli state of Lebanon Israel and Palestine. Featuring real ISIS members. How the fuck are you allowed to join the IDF that employs terrorists and is terrorizing people?
