(The report below has been sent on November 16 to every federal MP and every provincial and territorial MPP and all Senators. This is a regular report prepared by Doris Epstein, a volunteer with End Jew Hatred Canada.)
Since March 2021, Samidoun has been registered as a not for profit organization in Canada. Samidoun, the “Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network”, is based in Vancouver and has chapters, affiliates and links around the world. They claim to advocate for innocent prisoners incarcerated in Israel’s jails. They never say that most of the prisoners are convicted terrorists, on the pay roll for Palestinian Authority President Abbas’s pay for slay program.
Samidoun is affiliated directly, with the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, PFLP, a listed terrorist entity in Canada. They have been staging anti- Israel events here that are demonstrably and clearly detrimental to Canadian interests and values.
Samidoun’s Europe Coordinator, Mohammed Khatib said at a demonstration in Brussels in October, “Defeating Israel means defeating the US, defeating Israel means defeating Canada: this settlement that exists on the basis of the Indigenous people and the Black People.” They also raise funds, run advocacy programs and organize events on university campuses
In February, 2021, Israel, designated Samidoun a terrorist organization and identified it as an arm of the PFLP. A press statement added that Samidoun was founded by “members of the PFLP in2012 …and serves as a front for the PFLP abroad.“ The group spreads hatred towards Israel, claiming Israel is an apartheid state – a false claim that often results in attacks on Jews outside of Israel, Canada included. Samidoun is part of a radical movement urging cultural and economic boycotts (BDS), a strategy that has been called antisemitic by the Prime Minister of Canada
