"Peaceful revolution impossible makes violent revolution inevitable" people when violent revolution starts (π ΝΚπ)
They are campist idiots, shilling for Iran and Assad, and kind of edgelords ("death to Canada", honestly roflmao) but a "terrorist" organization? That sounds to me like a stretch.
While both the Canadian and U.S. designation emphasize financing of terrorism, there is no indication that fundraising constitutes a significant part of Samidoun's work.
Other than a βdonate nowβ tab on the organization's website, the content is overwhelmingly concerned with coverage of Palestinian prisoners' issues, political protests against the ongoing genocide in Gaza, and profiles of prominent Palestinian and Arab resistance leaders.
Just shows how biased these people are and how meaningless their "terrorist" labels actually are.
It's terrifying how the government can just declare something to be a terrorist organization with no proof at all. Just 'they raise, uh, money. For... uh... terrorism?'
Except the article itself is pointing out that there is no real evidence of the terrorism funding point. The Canadian government just said they are without backing it up.
Yeah to be clear, I'm saying they're just claiming that. Like I said, no proof, just 'seriously we claim this, trust us.'
It's ridiculous.
The leader of Samidoun is married to one of the leaders of the PFLP.
