Last week saw three instances of antisemitic violence in Canada: Bullets fired into two Montreal Jewish schools, and a fire bomb thrown at the Schara Tzedeck Synagogue in Vancouver. And this is amid the usual round of demonstrations and university encampments openly calling for “intifada” and the violent destruction of Israel.
Samidoun got banned in Germany pretty quickly after October 7, after the group helped organize a wave of German rallies explicitly celebrating Hamas’s murder of 1,200 civilians in Israel.
Canada could follow suit by designating Samidoun as a terrorist organization; the group is quite open about its ties to the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, which is already listed as a terror group by Canada.
At the very least, Canada could simply pull Samidoun’s non-profit status. Or the non-profit status of PaleSign, a fundraising group closely associated with Toronto4Palestine that was founded in Ajax, Ont. in the immediate wake of the October 7 attacks.
