(National Post) The federal Liberal government says it is “considering all options” when it comes to listing the group Samidoun as a terrorist entity, which Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre vowed on Tuesday to do, should his party form the next government.
Poilievre’s commitment follows calls from national Jewish advocacy organizations, such as the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs, which note the group’s alleged ties to the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, which Canada has listed as a terrorist group since 2003.
That group, which Public Safety Canada defines as an “Islamist communist group” committed to establishing a Palestinian state and “the destruction of Israel,” was the first Palestinian group to employ “suicide squads,” according to the federal government.
