The organization is already banned by some of Canada’s allies.
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is calling for the federal government to ban Samidoun and list the group as a terrorist organization.
As noted by the ADL, Samidoun openly expresses support for terrorists:
“Samidoun’s explicit support for those convicted or accused of terrorism and acts related to terrorism, like PFLP’s Walid Daqqa and Rasmea Odeh, have made it one of the more extreme groups within the Palestinian solidarity activist movement.
In 2021, Israel designated Samidoun a terror organization and an arm of the PFLP. Germany banned Samidoun’s operations in October 2023, following the October 7 Hamas-led attack on southern Israel.”
This is a great move by the Conservatives, and it continues to show that Pierre Poilievre and his colleagues are taking clear steps to fight back against anti-Semitism.
