Tonight, May 14, Ezer Mizion is hosting an event (reportedly at the Meridian Arts Centre) with Idan Amedi -- an Israeli soldier who participated in the genocide in Gaza.

Idan Amedi was a reservist who volunteered to participate in Israel's genocidal assault on Gaza. He posted photos of himself in his miliatary uniform and expressed his outright support for Israel, along with vile anti-Palestinian racism.

With the caption stating:

“באנו חושך לגרש. עם ישראל חי וכאן לנצח 🇮🇱♥️”


We came to expel darkness. The people of Israel are alive and here forever🇮🇱♥️


With the caption stating:

“תדעו שאנחנו לא נהיה מוכנים לעצור, אין מידתיות בקרב עם חיות אדם. למדנו בדרך הקשה ביותר, לא בפעם הראשונה, גור”לנו בידינו.“

"Know that we will not be willing to stop, There is no proportionality in a fight with human animals. We learned the hard way, not for the first time, that our fate is in our hands."

Ezer Mizion

Ezer Mizion brands itself as “Israel’s largest health support organization […] at the forefront of aiding those affected by war—providing medical care, emotional support, and essential services to soldiers, survivors, and families.”

Originally registered as a charity in 2013, they increased its donations significantly over the years with funds going from $1.4 million in 2019 to $8 million in 2023. Interestingly, in 2024, their reported revenue decreased significantly again to just under $1.4 million.

In 2025, Just Peace Advocates submitted a complaint to the CRA regarding Ezer Mizion hosting three current or former Israeli armed forces members– who, based on information available online, served in Gaza or in operations against the people of Gaza since October 7, 2023. These three individuals were scheduled as panelists for an Ezer Mizion fundraiser. The event purported to “stand in solidarity with Israel’s defenders,” and the three speakers are described as having “stood in the line of fire on October 7 and beyond.”

Beyond this, Ezer Mizion is directly connected to the IDF.
